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!

But hey if you don't have RC you're set either way.
Not really. You can get shut down from Serve and BB as well.

Whether that causes I can't say given that mine was for a different reason (I think). But I can say that you can get shut down and if you do it will be a huge headache. But hey if you don't have RC you're set either way.
Yours is different than what is posted on FT.

For some holding funds 60-90 days is a headache. For others it is just part of the game.
I just found a new supply of forks!

Notice in my case no notice of 60-90 days. That's the problem I don't know what's going on with it.

I find it hard to believe that people would make this up. Hopefully they have better things to do than make up fake screenshots of Redcard shutdowns.

usually the line is you need to get out more, but in this case you need to use the internet more. many people on the internet have nothing better to do than make a hoax like this (if it is one)

I don't know I think if someone was making stuff up coming up with a story about how aliens landed in his backyard is a lot more interesting than a guy's RC getting shut down.
