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!

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?

Sounds like the rest of the target's in the country will now get educated about the RC, being that people will be traveling out of the tri state for pesach.

Data point: Target in Clifton seems to have adopted the $1000 a day policy. Anybody have recent experience otherwise?

According to CS. However, some cashiers are willing to do additional loads. One told me that if I load $1K I have to go to CS, so I did $995.
Workflowy. You won't know what you're missing until you try it.

A few cashiers told me this already. One of them first said $999 but then double checked with cs and confirmed that it's really $1000

Like others mentioned, if you can get a cashier to load a smaller amount, you can double dip.

How? Do you mean 2 x $800 (for example) or two different cashiers? Didn't notice this mentioned, sorry.

Load at a cashier and then go to CS for another $1,000.

Actually, Lakewood/Howell branch is inundated with reloads and they're still pretty nice (as we saw many times in the last 400+ pages of posts). Maybe they're just used to Jews.
