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!

Just loaded at Brooklyn junction with AGC. While loading, the manager told me that the "reloading thing" won't be going on much longer at said target. Could be nothing, could mean something.
Manager at Brooklyn junction just told me, "today is the last day to load with a cc". I guess the guy was right.

Looks like you might be owed a partial HT...

Everyone keep asking Target if GC's will still work. Calling you brain-dead would be a compliment. 
I just found a new supply of forks!

As if anything is different today. They haven't given up on UPS either. That got old quick.

Just some Datapoints from last week:
Gateway - 1 swipe up to 1k one card
VS - Ditto
Westbury - Ditto one day, multiple card another day YMMV
Hicksville - Ditto no GCs allowed period
Levittown - 2.5k no issues
Linden NJ - $500 per card at CS, Cashiers clueless so $2.5k possible
Linden matched ID?
TIA

Why wouldn't it be?
Save your time, I don't answer PM. Post it in the forum and a dedicated DDF'er will get back to you as soon as possible.

No reason besides one person reporting that his target already didn't let him load today

Has anyone had success loading more than 2.5k on one card in one day?  (I know I've had success going way over the purported ATM monthly limits.)
