For A/B/C the payment will come from Amex - not from Target. I understand since Amex is on the same payment network it could raise flags and should be avoided but B and C should be good, right? Why make it more complicated than necessary? What am I missing?
Does anyone have even a single data point for this "loop" theory, involving charging a cc to load RB, then using RB to pay off that same cc, resulting in getting undue attention from a bank?

I just don't think I have ever seen a single data point to indicate doing that could be a problem. Other than in the paranoid imaginations of a few posters, based on no data points whatsoever.
