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!

Cvs stopped because of the fraud with vr, IINM. So one more manager made up their own rules.  I refer you back to the chicken little predictions of sbs. Hell , on Sat night people were saying it's officially done,evwm as others reported success in the same store. Please, post your experiences and stories, but stop making extrapolation from your one site to the entire nation. Based on that, the NC issues mean that is been dead for 2 months. Barclays center has been more or less dead for weeks, and we all know that they set policy  for the whole country. /rant

The Target Prepaid REDcard
« Reply #4901 on: February 09, 2015, 07:59:19 AM »
It just seems that people get too emotionally effected by something that is a hobby. People seem to forget that all it is is a hobby. Yes it will hopefully help my wife and I fly to Hawaii in 1st class but I realize what it is.
Just want to point out that there are lots of people here on DDF and not everyone is necessarily in exactly the same situation as you. The fact that it is a hobby for you doesn't necessarily mean that therefore it is for the other tens of thousands of people on here as well.

For some people MS is not a means to fly first class to Hawaii, but a means of being able to make it through Kollel with rent paid and bread on the table, or -- for others -- to buy one new piece of clothing for each of their children for Yom Tov....

This probably belongs In js but if you rely on ms for life essentials you deserve whatever comes to you. Get a job that pays more than killed or at least a rich father in law with one.

Just my .02, while all that you said might be true,  the nature of the MS game is constantly changing,  and you can ever rely on one method. 

To be honest,  many people did not expect redcard to last even this long with cc loading,  so nobody should be relying on it totally without a backup plan (which you should anyway have when doing MS)

I feel like this thread will turn into the sbs thread, when ever anyone gets one credit they will post their success story. When ever anyone loads with a CC they will post as well.

I'll start I loaded no prob with a CC in Nanuetw by a regular cashier this morning.

He's right that it's not something you can rely on, because the game is always changing. And I guess if someone's relying on MS for parnassah, they are more likely to freak out when it looks like the end is near.

I'd imagine that the ones who do are not the ones who are freaking out that the end is near, which is how this whole conversation started.

Interesting thought. "Target Card shut down in the US by and because of the Ultra-Orthodox" - CNN

Easy. Do what you are doing and multiply it. Each time try to cut down on time spent and increase volume... By easy, I don't want to imply that it's easy to do, just easy to tell you what to do...
