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!

I think you confused the original flow of the thread. The idea anonymous user was giving was to add au on cc so they can swipe to rc. Nobody was saying that you can load onto au of rc itself.
No I get that. You can't even have an AU on RC can you? But you're telling me that a cc that's an AU that matches an RC can't be used to load? The system is hardwired to reject it?

Sorry I don't get it. Can I bring in an AU of a cc and load an RC under the name of the AU?

I think one of you is referring to RC AU and the other CC AU...

Sure why not..  That's actually the best way to do it that for every RC you have get your self a AU cc with the same name.  I don't know why people say that you can't,  sure you can!

Yep got it now...I was confused because I thought we were discussing cc AU (which is how this started I thought). I didn't even realize RC had AU's too. What's the point of an RC AU? Just for buying in the store?

But make sure not to get your self tons of AU,  it may cause a FR.

Hopefully because it's basically the same thing but we'll see.
Btw nice pic u got but I think a Redcard avatar would've been more appropriate for you. :)

wow dozed off :) anyway, yes when anonymous user said get an au I thought he was referring to an rc, using an au cc is pointless if they ID you no?
