Any Alternative to Target Card?

Re: Any Alternative to Target Card?

The $3 load fee applies to the AMERICAN EXPRESS CARD FOR TARGET which is NOT the PREPAID REDCARD. And since the said PREPAID REDCARD is not yet available in 99% of California stores they don't know too much about it.

I just got my Target Prepaid Redbird via ebay
I have successfully registered and waiting for Card in the mail
when I click on add money on the webiste there is no option for me to add money with credit card
Do they take credit card if you add money at the Target Store?

Re: Any Alternative to Target Card?

So strange problem. I have my permenent card activated, however I can't seem to load it in store (NC). They are a "non-participating" target, but I had thought that we should be able to load anywhere. When they swiped the card, there was only the option to refund. Has anyone else had this issue? Any suggestions?

They have had (and apparently are having) problems with the card in NC.  Saw some recent posts that it is now working in some areas there, but not all.    Don't quite understand how this can happen ( a line in the code "where state != 'NC" !) but it seems like Barclays and Iowa, one state isn't getting the love.

There have been some recent posts:

 

I've been able to successfully load at the 2 Targets I've been to around my house in Raleigh.

 

Seems like the problems are in the center part of NC. The one I found that worked was west of Charlotte. Most of the Charlotte area does not work. Sounds like the Greensboro area also has not worked.

This is good news then. I'm going to see if I can determine which Raleigh Target works this weekend. I'll report back here with specifics.
