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!

Here's a cool map of REDcard availability:

https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/viewer?mid=zaZeFBtuy5B8.kyYIaq26n5m4

Red means they charge $5 fee.
Green means they give the card with no fee.
what if you get the card mailed empty to load somewhere else (anyone know if it's printed on the packaging or is it by store?)

I'd be happy to volunteer to test activating a card in a non-participating store if someone from a card zone would volunteer to mail one to me.  PM me if you would be so kind...

Does anyone have success in reloading one at a non-participating store?

Reloading shouldn't be a problem.  Activating is the open question.

Thanks. So it's worthwhile to drive out an hour plus to purchase one, and then reload it at my local target. Cool

Bought a 2nd temp Redcard today.

Added $1,000 to the registered temp card that I bought yesterday (A subsequent $250 load was denied)

Withdrew $400 from the registered temp card from the Target ATM in 2 $200 transactions (original $400 attempt was denied and subsequent $200 attempts were denied)
