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!

If the memo said specifically credit card loads, why shouldn't we be able to unload gift cards?

AGC's load as a CC and not like a GC.

Just to clarify, @Marco Polo, we would need to cash out AGCs because they are processed like CCs. But if I am sitting on a stack of MetaBank Visa GCs, then I should be able to use them as debit cards even if they stop taking CCs... right?

In theory, yes.

Not joking. There's no hard proof, just a few reports today.

Isn't the norm for those guys to write this type of stuff if they didn't think so.
