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!

Isn't the norm for those guys to write this type of stuff if they didn't think so.
So why'd they post it there if it's serious? That's the joke thread.

It is not fully confirmed. Why make everyone go crazy in here if they can just let ppl no in the "dying thread". Thats what its for. Once confirmed it'll move into here naturally.

When loading with VGC aas debit do you need to have them do it as $200 load?  Whenever I did it as $1k and tried debit it was declined.

Split tender doesn't seem to work on DC loading. Need to load one at a time
