The Target Prepaid REDcard

Anyone know a way to get the app on blackberry??? (And please no nasty comments about my phone)  thanks

+100 I was on the phone with them for almost an hour to no avail. Then I discovered the app.

Something wrong with their system I think. The phone reps can put in a big spend note too and it still gets you nowhere.

The app is the only way to do it. Otherwise you'll be on the phone with them 6 times and still get nowhere.

Not disagreeing. I have the App and logged on the second the charge didn't go through. However, there was no where to authorize the transaction which is why I then moved on and called them.

You sound exactly like me. I had the same exact experience, and I have a BB.
Here's the only solution I found:
Make small charges. The maximum is about $225. I alternated from 210 to 215 etc. I was able to do this with no limit. I was actually doing it while on hold with Amex. He came back on the line and said he can't fix it, but "Have you been buying your item with a split amount...".
Obviously, this can get tricky if there is a line. Use your sechel...

limit on what? on VRs?

Pretty much any prepaid item.

Just got off with the rep she says it had to go through second security, I asked her why since I had called yesterday to tell them I was gonna spend about 7k in the next two three days, she starts saying " I assure you that now you will have no more problems" We needed to call you back on your phone to confirm that its you - which she did. SO the advice is to do reloads in smaller amounts - 250  x 4?

I went through all of that, and then some!
So, yes, that's my advice, but I would cap it at $225.

I assume you meant "No. Hammer them."
However, it's like banging your head against the wall. You end up with a headache; the wall doesn't.

Maybe I have a thick skull. Never had a headache.

I just had this issue today. Swiped biz plat card and got declined. This time the message didn't come up on the app. I got no email either. Even after calling in, and having the rep. on the phone, the charge was still getting declined. I just had to leave target. I have never had issues with Amex cards until this one. (Amex did give me 3,000 MR for the inconvenience ).

You called that in separately after the incident?

[rileywiles23]

No. The rep just offered it to me. I said thank you, and hung up. I just hope when I go again, I won't have any issues.

i had the same story every load of $1000 was an issue until I started doing different amounts just under 1k never the same amount twice and then it was smooth sailing even did 8k in 10 minutes np
