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 don't think anyone who knows of a place like that will want to share and risk it being cut back.

Not telling about something I was already aware of does not work.  ;)

Datapoint: New Target in Linden NJ went to cashier and she was more than happy to load whatever i wanted. Line was growing so i tried CS. Was informed that limit is $500 per day per card because of "credit card processor issues". Have a feeling its YMMV and could probably do the max with no issues. Was just pressed for time. I couldnt test my theory.

Oh...and loaded with VGCs for the first time. No issues.

I assume you used the $200 VGCs . I still have a OVGC from CVS for $500 squirreled away from  when I was rushing to meet a spend pre RB Etc . Have people used them successfully also ?
