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!

Ive put 1000 in one shot on a temp card. So did Dan in his post.
According  to the number at the back of the card the second the card is registered online it has the same limits as the perm card

i don't have Serve or RedCard yet, but found out my local target carries it. Is it possible to sign up and get on this today or does it take a few days to get signed up for SERVE?

You can sign up and register the card today. You will be able to load $500 when you buy the card, and another $1000 after you register it online. Also, once you register the card online, you can withdraw up to $400 a day from the ATM.

After that you'll have to wait for the permanent card to come in the mail.

He can put his info in and you can register it later. Or better yet is if they let him take one without registering it.

Correct. You will need to know the info he used to buy it. AFAIK
