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!

Queens went rotten already a long time ago, what's the shock?
Oy i wish for the days at College Point when you can do the merry-go-round between the different cashier banks all over that store. Outside NYC is the way to go.

Yes.  And gas stations with Amex BRG and PRG,  Freedom during bonus quarters etc.

And not the personal or business platinum?

High ranking? Those reside in CLE. All else are minions.

This article also explains the declines I've been getting at 7-eleven by their system and not by my credit card!

At what point, do you not consider yourself a beginner ?

Or PRG 2x grocery spend at groceries carrying $500 VGC and MGC.

Which thread/topic would explain the math in how much I am spending per point ?
(I.e after spending 505.95 on a gift card, I get 1,012 points for $5.95 on the double points from the gold card, so it's about a half a penny a point ? And how that translates into the cost of an airline ticket)
