The Target Prepaid REDcard

[etech0]

I will ask it again:
Have you had it actually work online?

I had it work once, and not work once.

Most Target employers wont allow this to load your RedCard (ONLY ONCE I got lucky here in NY) they say it "needs to have your name" or "has to be attached to a bank". Is there a different card serve/bluebird that is easier to unload with in NY?

So what do us Brooklyn folks do now? They always want a name on card

FWIU, you can't do split tender with debit.

It won't auto drain, but fwiu it works

It says in the wiki that a 1099 is triggered by 200 transactions and $20,000 gain. Are these transactions loads only? Also I'm assuming by sending out checks or directly paying your bills this would be circumvented.

Now that the CC aspect of the RC is dead (literally the day I got my RC) I will be using the VGC method instead. In order to help the VGC method live longer than the CC, I would like to know how many requests from the same cashier is appropriate. What is your strategy for loading the limit in as few visits as possible.

Thanks in advance!

won't matter what you think is appropriate. it will be ruined by others anyways.

I can still do my part if others let me know what their experience was like.

At Barclay I've used GCs w/o a problem.  Make that GC.  1 load per Target visit.

$5k/$500 = 10 trips
$5k/$200 = 25 trips

I hope you are a Nets season tickets holder...

so just one $200 VGC per a visit? wouldn't that take forever? you don't load at first and last cashier or something like that?

In Walmarts that are still nice you can go to 12 different cashiers and do 2 cards at a time. Most Targets are CS only and they'll see you running around...

Most Targets are CS only

News to me.

This is the redcard thread. Start a thread called redcard vs blue bird if there isn't already one

News to me.

Tri state is the center of the universe. therefore if most places in new York are cs only so too all places are cs only.
