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 left target. - I initially tried multiple VGCs - kept saying "$0.00 load limit" or something similar. I tried a BofA debit card with same results. Probably some glitch in their systems....

The quotes about what comes up on the screen are not true. What comes up is $0 can be applied to this payment type.

I think Redbird is dead, RIP! Let's hope I'm wrong though.
« Reply #11028 on: October 13, 2015, 03:09:12 AM »
If you want to read it, I put together my educated guesses/speculations (ramblings that is) about why I think Redbird is dead; pros and cons of possible reasons for it being dead or not, along with a picture of the error you get as of Oct 12th: http://goo.gl/ZpvzQn

If you read the entire article you’ll see the irony about me just commenting now about it.

Needless to say, I sure do hope that I’m wrong about reading the events of the day. We can all benefit from that, from me being wrong about this and Redbird continuing to live on.

Nothing lasts forever in the MS hobby though, so if it indeed died, let's be grateful for all the free or near-free travel and money it provided us with. And onto the next thing.

With all due respect, I am curious how you have become an expert or if you are? I see you called upon on ft for comment. What makes your opinion more informed than the average poster or blogger?

Guess trolling pays off. Why work hard if you can just piggyback off someone elses hard work? If he's a jewish guy hasagas gvul comes naturally. So report report report and maybe he'll finally be banned.

No expert at all. I read his article it's pretty much a summary of all the opinions/speculation being thrown around the blogs... Including here.

You can trust him all you want, in the end its all speculation.  Doesn't seem probable that they would remove ALL debit cards but only time will tell.

Don't see the issue. It's just his 2 cents, based upon reports. Take it or leave it. No need to hate

Whoever this dude is he has been trolling this thread with nonsense posts trying to direct people to his site. If you're selling something use the GS thread. He's always posting regurgitated chicken little crap here gours or days after its already been digested. Troll.
