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!

Hi im going to Maui and i was wondering if anyone has some good deals while im there. And i was wondering is it worth Splitting the cost with points for the hotel.....either 24,000 spg points or 4,000 and an extra $90?

Pretty much anywhere oot. I have never been subject to 1k per day and usually am not asked for ID.

Which credit card would be the best to use to rack up the points/miles with a visa/mc/discover credit card?
Can someone please send a link.

why this card is no longer giving 5% off target  online purchase?

I have always received 5% off on online order and tried reordering today but it is not showing 5% off red card saving

Isn't it because Target had those ID theft issues? Also when was the last time you spent 1k, 1k and 500 one after another for real shopping?

First of all, the fraud alerts come by the first 1k. Second, tuition by me is a lot more then 1k.
