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!

Anybody who had this issue got it resolved? I thought that there is a monthly limit and I reached that already because I had been sending money to a few people I thought that there is a limit and I reached at but now  other people have their problem as well so I guess its system issue. Anybody had it resolved ?

You guys are funny.

Max send money is 2500/mo.

How'd I figure it out? GIMF.

Flatbush today:  Manager only. at CS. $1K max. in 1 load. ID has to match Redcard, has to match cc.  No debit card. 
Or does this belong in the RedCard is Dying thread.  It certainly feels that way in Brooklyn.

manager at brooklyn junction allowed 2500 last night.

Sucks for you guys in Brooklyn, those stores seem to be the worst when it comes to REDcard. On my stores they don't bother to check my ID not even to see if it matches my credit cards, definitely don't require matching Redbird (or I wouldn't be able to use the other two not on my name).

That's to RECEIVE they were talking about sending.

Went to load today. So, first of all they had to bring the CS Supervisor to do it and he asked for photo ID. Then when I told him to load 250 he says that there's a max of 1000 daily. After some confusion I had to explain that I'm loading only two hundred and fifty dollars at which point he laughs and says "Oh my bad, cuz people are coming in here everyday trying to load $2,500 in one shot."  ;D
