Topic Wiki

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!

Out here on the west coast, I've tried to load $2500 (or in fact anything over $1,000) and the system always says "amount too low..."

Nothing over $1,000 ends up working.

Has anyone loaded >$1,000 recently?

It clearly says in the wiki to do $1000, $1000, $500

I know you're not running out of SSNs ;) Just thought you had a specific reason you've been sticking to BB for so long.

BB has some advantages over RC (few but some)
If you think nobody cares about you... just forget to pay your credit card bill

I was by target in Harlem it used to work like a charm but today I was in for surprises as soon as I arrive at the cashier they all told me to go to the guest service and as soon as I went to the guest service they automatically knew that I came to load RC but I didn't have my own card and they requested ID and all had To match the name on the RC the name on the credit card and ID so I went out with nothing. It was a disaster.
