I went to load today and the cashier swiped the redcard upside down. I told her so, and she asked me if I work there

At my Target, the cashier by cs was young so i figured she just started working there, so i started explaining what to do with the RC. She cuts me off and says that she is the manager!! (Burn!) Never judge Target cashiers!

Wow, awesome day today. Hands down the easiest MS I've ever done.

Walked into Target, straight to CS. She knew what the card was and asked how much. I did the FT method, and voila - no calls to fraud dept just approved for $2500.
Had to run to the dentist after that.
One the way home, stopped by another Target with my second card. Straight to CS. He knew what it was and asked how much. I did just $500 (to finish off the $3K spend on that card) and then asked can we load it again from another source. No problem. FT method for the last $2K. Magical.

Notes:
1) I once tried the FT method in the past and the CS said no that will have to be separate transactions. So this was my first successful attempt.
2) Both CS reps knew the card, which in one way means it's easier and less awkward. In another way, it means more Targets know about it and the clock is ticking... $:-\$
3) I bought some things I needed at Target, that I wouldn't have bought had I not been there. Perhaps that will help encourage Target to keep it alive? Who knows?
4) I need more SSNs

Can you try loading 2 redcards with one cc swipe?

Tried, but it didn't work for me; they did it in separate transactions. Also tried to do it at the self check out line, didn't work

That is odd because AFT you can do many cards with one swipe.

Why do the flyer talk method...
The more swipes you do, the more entries you get into the sweepstakes for taking the surveys on the receipts..

JayR · « **Reply #2808 on:** January 02, 2015, 04:30:45 PM »

I said to put 1k on one and 750 on 2nd, so she did 2 transactions. I'll try again and say 1k on both and see if she'll do it under one transaction. TARB

+1, although it takes a little too long to fill out the survey

Did it fail or did she not even try?

Takes 30 seconds each.
However I'm sure there are certain correct answers for the $25 gift cards. If anybody figures it out let me know.

For Amex cards you earn points correct ? Or just counts for sign up spend ?

Correct. Amex sees it as a purchase at Target.
