The Target Prepaid REDcard

If not an isolated incident its not "chicken little talk"

But he's the only one reporting it. And saying that he hopes th is isn't the end of us bank is also chicken littleing

Does it have a pin and can be used as a debit? IINM it can't be loaded with a cc anyway, so what's the use?

i am SO not about to read over 700 pages and i would never see if this was posted using search. just a cautionary tale: if you had BB and you shut it down and you're registering for an RC you MUST USE THE SAME PHONE NUMBER AND THE SAME EMAIL ADDRESS you used when you registered for BB.

first, i couldn't get to a good Target,
then i just took a card w/o first activating
then i had to find someone in Baltimore to do me a favor
then i forgot about canceling BB
then i waited 24 hours but it still didn't work (as per BB)
i waited 48 hours and it STILL didn't work (again, as per BB)
i called up and was on the phone with them for 1/2 hour until we figured out that i was using my new email address...

i missed out on so much!
i also didn't know in the beginning that i could just buy an activated RC until i had one of my own  SMH

but he said "hopes"

anyway pretty significant in my mind that mastercard issuer would say you cannot load gift cards to a another card.  I never knew that.

Mastercard didn't say that. He had issues with one card.

I said matercard issuer which is us bank in this case did say that

nope they said from what they understand you cannot transfer funds from a gift card to another prepaid card

so you called us bank and said you were trying to load it onto a prepaid card? 
Why not call Target and tell them your doing it as well?  Whats the first rule of DDF??? Next time say your making a purchase, cuz that's how it rings up on the card issuers end.

When red card came out FM said specifically to use a different email address. Perhaps that has changed now?

+1 I wasn't gonna start down that road, when I told you to call it was to ask why your pin wasn't working not to tell them you were trying to withdraw the cash.
