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!

Just got rejected at target in NH. Clerk said they couldn't load any amount on it. She said she' had a lot of redcards recently that wouldn't let her proceed. Gonna try again with a different clerk, hopefully it was just a fluke.
What are you trying to load with. cc?
And which target, university dr?

Both BB and Serve can be synced to Amex offers and, at least this past year, were eligible for SBS.
Bluebird was not eligible for SBS.

And [Didn't you frown on beginning a sentence with "And"] don't forget the grammar part; that's quite a big chunk too.

Hopefully in a few months not it will be more than just a memory.

I tried loading a one vanilla and a $500 Visa. They both came up unable to complete process. Contact card issuer. What does that mean? I have loaded these types of cards on target prepaid this morning.
And no, I have not reached the limit. This is my first time loading this month. I tried it on 3 different cards. Nothing doing.
