The Target Prepaid REDcard

[Mplace]

No issue. Used PRG, SPG, Everyday Preferred.  Wish Target was on the Dept. store list for 3% or better yet the 6% on Blue

can you confirm from the blue?

Did anybody succeed in activating/loading the redcard in target Brooklyn on Flatbush ave. and Ave. h ?

Havent tried that yet. Its only 1% so not really worth a try.

Both.  You might have a harder time at the register though.

sorry, missed the world 'wish' I thought you were saying that it is 6% that's why I asked you if you can confirm getting 6%..
As for $300 a month, is a good rate..

Loaded on friday. They would only allow me a max 1k one transaction at CS. Go to electronics dept on second floor. YMMV

GC's no longer allowed at this location.  Only card with your name on it.  Barclays Target only permits 1 load per visit period.

This is starting to sound familiar...

Is this in the system or you can just walk out and come right back?

So i bought a temp redcard from someone who had already activated it in Baltinore and loaded  it with $1.  I got the unopened temp card in the mail amd registered it in my name with no issues.   Just got the new permanent card in the mail but when i try to activate, i get error that  "yearly allow credit card load amount has been exceeded."  I called customer service and the almost impossible to understand Indian rep says i need to fax some personal information and the store receipt where the temp was purchased to their resolution center.  I bought this temp card from somebody and dont have a reciept.   Any idea what this could be about or what i should do?

Don't bother with faxing the Info I was busy with it a week and they didn't do Mt nothing because you I didn't have the receipt..  It's a problem I'm stuck with 3 cards like this

[moshe28]

Thanks.  I guess there is no way to buy redcards from a third  party anymore

[dan5082030]

What suddenly happened?  It was possible to buy from third parties and activate in other locations?  And now it isn't any more?  Can someone please explain what happened?

I did 1k at CS counter then went upstairs to electronics  dept. Not in the system for sure. Power hungry CS reps making up the rules. One told me its the max allowed on this card. As if she would know because they sell them in NY...:-)
