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!

Fair warning - Any PMs sent in response to forum posts are fair game for ridicule in public.

Just did a mega load at 117th street. Almost totally finished up the month but my wife was getting antsy and the lines were longish. No complaints even if I did miss the exit and it cost me the tolls for the RFK... nu nu

Any reports tonight?
Loaded in Howell tonight. I dont live anywhere near Lakewood so I've never loaded there before, but I was there for Shabbos - I was extremely impressed with how fast, easy, and nice my experience was there. Are they always nice there? I would think based on the location that they wouldnt be anymore...

I needed to do another thousand tonight to hit my $5k for the month. And guess what? The machines were down. Second time this week it happened, so I missed out on hitting $5k. Triangle Junction Target in Brooklyn ($1k limit per day). It's such a pain to load in Brooklyn Targets. The one by Atlantic Avenue doesn't even allow credit cards anymore.

Is it possible to load twice in one day at different times to get past the $1k limit?
