Since October 12, 2015, the prepaid REDcard (Redbird) can only be loaded at Target with cash. It can still be loaded online with a bank-issued debit card, up to $200/day and $1K/month.

Therefore, for MS (manufactured spending) Redbird is now considered dead. RIP!

This was in the Monsey area.
Oh boy that used to be an oasis of normalcy where you could actually load without being subject to harassment.

You mean he put in random SSN and DOB when buying and activating? That means absolutely nothing.

Yes that's what I'm talking about.  Obviously no concern if I were to go get it myself but once people start throwing ssn's and dobs around it gets a little deeper.  Don't they need a drivers license to get the temps?

Definitely not a concern IMO. IIRC they scan the license but I can't why that would be an issue at all. A total non issue I think.

Quick question - what is the legality status on buying a temp card opened up by someone else with false credentials before registering?  Wondering what peoples opinions are as I'm considering buying from the other threads.
why not ask the target manager who told me she's having a friend send her one from California ;D

They do scan a dl, but do not match the DOB or ss# to anything

You know you dont need the physical T&Cs so whatever it is that you guys are looking for its on the RC website.
Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Not saying I'm lazy, but if someone offered to look, I'll wait... Unless you want to look up online...

Is the limit 5k per month (meaning from month to month)  or is it a 30 day period?

Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

I used my address on my FIL's app and now cannot verify his address obviously. They said they cannot change anything on the app because its pending. My options are to buy another temp card or have them close the account and reregister this one. Any advice? TIA

Is the card coming to NY anytime soon?

What's the safest way to MS with the SPG card without getting Amex suspicious to the point they ask for a FR?
