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!

thanks!

If no, are there any Targets left in NYC that let you load up to $2,500 in 1 day?

Any of them, as long as you get the right cashier / guest services worker. Just keep an eye out and try not to get a manager. Did 10k in the last two days on two cards (2.5/day/card) in a NY target - if you're willing to drive out 30m from the most populated areas can make a big difference- or just drive to philly :)

I did chase last week and required zip

I also did chase, no zip required.
I've had them both happen to me. usually they don't need, but once they asked.

It goes by the name Brooklyn junction (that's why Ave. H didn't come up in search).They almost always only let 1,000 per load. You have to have matching CC,RC, and ID therefore visa gc will not work. You have to load at CS, but only managers can do reload.

Thank you.

Don't tell me what I did, I did cc I didn't pick lending services
I wonder what people who type "u" instead of "you" do with all their free time.

chill are you sure you did chase credit card and not consumer lending because the latter always asks for zip and the former never did with me, check it out again before you blow a gasket

6 months of doing this and i cant recall once that i have been limited by a cashier or CSR. You gotta know when to tap out. 2 days ago was at CS out on LI. There was no line behind me so i started with one card completed spend on that one and got to 2k on the second card. Turned around saw a line forming and said thank you and left.

Exactly what I do. I see a line,  I stop and go to back of the line.

Yes they also suck. And there are too many of them in NYC so NYC sucks too. Anywhere normal you just load without an issue. Only around NYC do you have to look over your shoulder and be subjected to a barrage of rules and remarks.

my point is that I live and load in NYC all the time and other than being directed to laod only at CS the first couple times, I have never had an issue in my secret invisible target in the wardrobe.

Take out funds every couple days from ATM.  Didn't realize but now looking at my transaction history, it looks like I've withdrawn >$2k in April.  Anyone else successfully withdraw >$2k p month?

Not that, but took out $780 at an ATM in MD once.
