Does Your Target Have Hard Time Splitting Debit Loads To REDcard?

Target REDcard

After having success loading my Target REDcard with a Visa gift card I needed to try again, this time upping the ante.

During my test run I had no issues loading one $200 Visa gift card to my REDcard. If I stuck to one $200 load per visit, it would definitely be a slow process building up my points balance. Continue reading Does Your Target Have Hard Time Splitting Debit Loads To REDcard?

Target REDcard Visa Gift Card Load Success!

Target REDcard 

For quite some time the Target REDcard prepaid was the easiest and cheapest (free) way to manufacture spend $5,000 per month.

Then things started to change. In February I wondered if Target was limiting credit card loads to REDcard to $1,000 per day? This wasn’t exactly the case but was the rule for many locations…

I had not so great results loading my card at the beginning of March followed by a great experience in Charleston, SC. Continue reading Target REDcard Visa Gift Card Load Success!

With Target REDcard’s Sudden Demise, What’s Next?

Target REDcard

It’s hard to believe that my final Target REDcard load was in Atlanta on May 1.

Last week I was in Atlanta for a few days to attend the Freddie Awards and a couple of other related events including the Delta Jet Drag.

I stopped by Target a couple of times to load my REDcard. The first time was to finish off my load for the month of April with the second time mentioned above. Continue reading With Target REDcard’s Sudden Demise, What’s Next?

Target REDcard: Atlanta- I’ve Never Been Asked This Before

Target REDcard

A few days back I wrote about my experience loading my Target REDcard prepaid while in Atlanta.

Things went well and I had no problem loading the final $2,000 for the month of April at the Atlanta- Edgewood store.

With April coming to an end,I thought it would be a great idea to start off the month of May right by doing at least one load onto my card before heading home. Continue reading Target REDcard: Atlanta- I’ve Never Been Asked This Before

Target REDcard Experience: Atlanta

Target Prepaid REDcard Limiting Load By Credit Card To $1,000 Per Day? 1

I’ve been in Atlanta for the past couple of days. The main purpose of my visit was to attend the Freddie Awards which took place last night. Today many BoardingArea bloggers (myself included)  had the opportunity to pull a Delta jet for good cause!

Besides attending some events related to the Freddies I also had a bit of free time. I visited a couple of museums and also made it a point to get over to Target to finish loading my REDcard for the month of April.

So how did my experience go? Was it a success or major hassle similar to how it is at home in NYC? Continue reading Target REDcard Experience: Atlanta

What’s The Longest You’ve Waited To Load REDcard?

Target REDcardI wouldn’t consider myself to be very big into manufactured spending.

Sure I took part in buying $1 coins from the U.S. Mint which was a big pain. I also loved using Amazon Payments which was overly convenient. I even enjoyed the hunt for Vanilla Reloads and Paypal cards. Too bad that ended…

The most recent and only way I currently manufacture spend is with the Target REDcard.  Continue reading What’s The Longest You’ve Waited To Load REDcard?

Can Each Target Make Up Policies About REDcard?

Target REdCard

Why is it that people are having different experiences loading their Target prepaid REDcard at store locations?

Wouldn’t you think that such a big company would have rules and policies in place across the board that are followed by all stores? I would but for whatever reason, this is not the case.

Should rules vary from store to store? Better yet, is each store allowed to make up their own policy when it comes to loading REDcard… Continue reading Can Each Target Make Up Policies About REDcard?

Target REDcard Experience: Charleston

Target REDcard

The first few times I loaded my REDcard I had no issue adding $2,500 each time. At first I could do the full $2,500 in one transaction and after that stopped being allowed, I was able to do three charges back to back to reach the daily load-limit. Pretty simple…

Then things changed, at least at the Targets close to home. I wondered if Target was limiting REDcard loads by credit card to $1,000 per day. After getting a lot of feedback, this seems to be a rule being put in place in certain Target locations. I then shared another REDcard load experience where I visited two stores in less than an hour, having two very different experiences.

I shared my first REDcard load of March which had not so great results.

And then we went to CharlestonContinue reading Target REDcard Experience: Charleston

“The Reloaders Are Here”, Another REDcard Experience

Manufactured spending

After writing about a recent experience loading my Target prepaid REDcard, I wondered if loads were being limited to $1,000 per day.

After many people shared their experiences, it seems like this $1,000 load by credit card per day rule is being implemented on a store by store basis.

Since I had to finish loading my card for February, I went back to the same store to see how  things would turn out. Continue reading “The Reloaders Are Here”, Another REDcard Experience
