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!

The machine defaults them to debit (which is a good sign,  for when they stop allowing cc) so easier to just put in pin
Here it defaults to something like "enter a pin for debit, or press enter (w/o a pin) for credit.

You want cash from a VGC at an ATM?
Probably means loading like Walmart

I did 2 on Fri with no problems... Doing 50 at a time might. For that,  it is probably best to use serve in Walmart kiosk

is there a limit to how much you can load on the temporary card?
what happens when the real card comes how do you transfer the
money from the temporary one?

Any way to split the payment when loading this card to make the $200 cards easier to load (like with bluebird)? Or does each card have to be a new transaction?
