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!

You should take this new hobby slow.  I know the seminar last night was exciting but this is not a get rich quick scheme.  Read everything on this site about Redbird and MS in general and then read as much as you can find on MS on other sites.  Only then can you be educated enough to make a decision if you are comfortable doing something or not.  There's no such thing as free money, everything in life has risks.
...and keep good records.

Doesn't ur bank report to the IRS?

No. This isn't soviet russia.

They do report if you deposit 10k in one shot, and its a felony to break your deposits down to deliberately avoid that. But they don't report normal activities and balances.

If you deposit 5k every month you will have reports filed on you but so what. You think one day the FBI will just show up at your door?  :)

so i won :) the redcard from the ddsch, (thanks dan great job). i went to register it on line, and it tells me the card numbers dont match, checked three times to no avail. i put my DOB i just thinking that i might have to put the DOB that was put in when purchased.
do i have to put money on the card in-store before i register online?

i called up and the Indian lady tells me i have to fax in a whole list of stuff.

You have to first "buy" it in the store as I do not believe these cards were initially activated at the store.  That being said, you may now have a problem "buying" it since you attempted to register it online first.  Perhaps you should have just taken the UA amenity kit instead.   :)

You need to take it to Target and "purchase" it first. You can't register it before you buy it.

Not sure where you came up with that one.  Target in NY does not carry them.
