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!

Ha :) our baltimore targets haven't heard of any changes,  so I'm hoping for the best! Still have a lot to spend on my amex plat!
I thought everyone is saying it's going to be hard coded. So why should the fact that one manager didn't get the memo make a difference?

Just returned from one final CC-load-run to a nearby Target.  Loaded first $1k via new AmexBizPlat (150k offer - thank you @thaber).  Load went through fine.  Second load of $995 was denied, called up Amex CS and was ultimately advised that T&C's state you can't load RC with CC (how did they know?).  This is after calling up Amex and preclearing the charges with them.  They then said they will be sending me a new card bec of a fraud suspicion... go figure...

I didn't say anything.  That's the weird part.  They knew it was used to load an RC...

Some genius at my regular Target told them that today is the last day for CCs, but the only good thing about it is that the CS woman (who has loaded for me a number of times) and for the last few times has limited me to $1k let me do $2.5k.

There were 4 people in line ahead of me who loaded and 2 behind me with their CCs and RCs out. #DansDealseffect
