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!

I saw mentioned i think earlier in the thread that the spending will only count towards spending threshold when loading the card but not to accumulate points and getting miles and points thereafter, is that correct or there is no truth to that?
