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!

no not on hand but you can apply for it then and it would be sent to you with the 10% off
You sure it's not the red credit card as Yudamaan asked? The website only says you can get a card in store. The target credit card has 5% off standard, and they may have been offering 10% off for signing up for that....

Out of all the people I've registered cards for I was flagged to have to send in a copy of my license and social sec card. Unfortunately I don't have the latter available. Here's hoping if I close down this card I can open the next one with no problems.

The rep said it might have been entering diff phone numbers?

Regular target recard:

Amex redcard

yes, this is true..there is a Target RedCard that come in 2 forms - credit or debit  ...
see here --> http://www.target.com/redcard/main

also there is the AFT(Amex for Target which has fees)   
see here --> https://www.americanexpress.com/us/content/prepaid/american-express-for-target-card.html

BUT we are talking about the[COLOR="Red"] RedCard PrePaid Amex Card[/COLOR] = [COLOR="Blue"]no fees[/COLOR][COLOR="Red"]!!![/COLOR]
see here --> https://amex.serve.com/prepaidredcard/?ref=sr_shorturl_prepaidredcard

i have used these cards extensively..and [COLOR="Red"]hands down..the RedCard PrePaid Amex Card BLOWS ALL OTHERS OUT OF THE WATER[/COLOR].....most [COLOR="Blue"]LUCRATIVE[/COLOR] way to MS i've ever had the pleasure of doing aside from the notoriously good MINT fiasco of years gone by  ;)  (props to all you who got in on that sweet goodness!!!)   LOL

btw..if you are having trouble locating one or more of these aforementioned gems..please refer to [COLOR="Red"]http://www.flyertalk.com/forum/23713529-post344.htmlpost # 344[/COLOR]
