Topic Wiki

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!

Anyone know which specific Target stores in (or nearest to) NYC still allow CC loads without issues?

Thanks in advance!

Is there somewhere where DDF'rs are keeping a running list of places with Target stores selling the Redcard? I'm in Chicago and want to get one...closest I've heard is southern Wisconsin.

There was a link somewhere Upthread with a map. It might be in the wiki too.

Anyone know what the Target situation is in the 5 Towns area? I'm here for Pesach and don't really know what the Target situation is around here. It looks like Valley Stream is the closest Target.

As of a few weeks ago they don't take credit cards. No further updates.

Yes, as stated above. A few have reported having cashiers guess and tell them that they can't be loaded, if so just move on to another cashier/store and you can load it with AGC, or any gift card for that matter, as long as it is not a Target gift card.

Unless you live in NC or AR, in which case you can't load Redbird.

A couple of reports popped up today on FlyerTalk of people being credited today for the failed credit card loads to Redbird on or after Feb 25...take a look at your Redbird acct. I had only made one call to cust service about it, looked into it up and don't see anything yet.

People said they didn't receive an email or call from REDcard like they were told, confirming the credit, the money was just credited onto their Redbird acct, showed with the same date as the failed transaction.

Not when he is either clearly an idiot for calling or a moron for  not actually doing any research. Just because you believed the shmo on FT, you shouldn't go around defending every idiot posting ridiculous garbage.
Ironically I just bumped into him in target while loading my redcard, when he tried loading something obviously went wrong and he thought CC loading was the issue as you can see he is not a very seasoned DDFer and he made an innocent mistake
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.
