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!

after all that you didn't try with under a dollar?
Now I did - $0.10, and it worked. So is it settled now? :)

The only reason I'm even asking is because someone in the flyer talk thread also claimed to have done it today... (Unless it's the same guy  ;) )... And just annoyed, because I still had $7,500 of loads avialble to me this month if I would just get one more day!!
Do you think you are the only one who had loads to do this month?????? Quit whining. Cinco De Mayo will forever be remembered now!  :D 8) :P :-*

No, but you can do $600 at shot.

Youre in the wrong thread and you can swipe 5k at once. You will only get $20 off $5k instead of $20 off $300. Suit yourself.

You will actually get $40 off as it is two per household. Though if you get a good cashier, you can make multiple $600 purchases.

OK, this is awkward.  I know it's been posted already but I can't find it.  I also, ironically, can't find the thread to find threads.  So I'll post my question here and hope that you don't mind repeating the info. 

Can you please remind how to tell in my Chase account, how my local Target codes their transactions, if it's as a Grocery store for example. 

Thanks for the help!

Click on dispute transaction, expand the transaction, and then let us know what merchant category it posted as please.

Dispute the charge. On the next screen, it shows the category.

Sorry. Missed the 2 per. And its all theory. I found an OOT OM yesterday. Thought i was gonna make a killing because out of any DDF zone. Wouldn't you know that location closing. Shelving was for sale. Not a hint of a VGC anywhere. Oh well. And now im in the wrong thread too.  ;D

Offer is .50 per card. That is only because I am in a good mood today. Amex is the best.  ;)
I just found a new supply of forks!
