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!

Regular points (not bonus points) usually post next statement, after you pay.

Ah. When do 50% points post?

There is a 1 month lag for EDP points posting. So your bonus will post with the regular points next month. The points you have now are from last month.

trying loading $1500 on  niece's Temp card today, the first $1k load went thru but the $500 on 2nd load failed. changed to a different amount and failed too. The screen shows error message says something like "CONTACT CIS" with cross mark on right.


ANyone know what this is?

Isn't 1k the max for a temp card?

I  have always  loaded $1500 on Temp cards that we have.  Two  separate loads though. Max load limit on Temp is $1500.

But on this temp  card, the 2nd load didn't work. It is not becos of it being a temp card for sure cos I read somewhere in FT where someone reported this problem on his permanent card too.

you can load $500 on the initial load/purchase, and $1000 after that. If you loaded $500 it means the card was already activated and you can only do $1000 more.

Right, so after activation (regardless of amount you activated with) it's 1k-sounds right.

I bought this temp card 5 months ago and first initial load was $1 at that time. But never opened the package until 3 days ago.

So I went to a store to load $1k on it but the  $500 failed. The screen shows erroe with check csis contact customer care or something.

I loaded $1k & a $500 2 weeks ago on another temp card that I also bought 5 months ago with $10 initial load.
