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!

That's up to you. Minimum is $1 each, but up to $500 each if you so desire.

Each ss# can get one card per day. So unless you are comfortable with making up ss# you can get only 1

Would permanently closing then turning around and opening a brand new RC account reset the monthly load limit?

I just wonder, are all the other MS threads on DDF also being trolled like this and have their equivalent "dying" threads? :)

Probably. But why risk messing with Redcard.

I was told by a fellow ddfer that $500 was max at Walgreens and RiteAid, not where I shop... So far they are easier than CVS with the license swiping and the $2k daily limit...

I tried sending myself a check through rc bill pay it never came I called and asked them what happened and they said the name on the check can't match the name on the account. I guess the next best way is to withdrawal funds straight to ur account

Or just pay off the cc directly with the rc?

I'm just worried rc hasn't been around that long if they don't send the check to the cc on time I'm Sol.
