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!

Curious about the lashon.

Per the T&Cs, cash loading includes all methods of payment that the store will accept for loads.

Quote
You may add funds to your Account by (i) presenting cash (US currency only) or other accepted tender and your Card at participating Target stores in the U.S. or (ii) using other cash funding sources and methods accepted by us from time to time (collectively, "Cash Funding Sources").

I think gateway is your best bet, they dont ask to match cc, RC, and id like the junction.

Yes. But last time I went,I wasn't able to load,  the system might have been down. And after swiping two different cc's, the manger warned me that I have one last try. Guess there's a three strike policy.

How long does it take for a return on a regular target purchase to post to the card?  I bought something on target.com and returned it last night and they put the money back on the card but I still don't see it in my account.
Thanks
