I don't think the masses killed this one, the 5% that pushed it real hard and regularly loaded $25k-50k with multiple cards and false fraud alerts likely raised the flag. When Target looks at the data I think the 5% stand out more than the million people doing average CC loads.

And for those suggesting that VGC's are a great alternative, I can see that one getting killed store by store pretty quickly. Stores don't want cashiers or customer service reps taking extra time on these loads because someone has 3,4,5+ gift cards they are trying to split for one load. If the number of VGC loads increases, I would not be surprised to simply see stores impose their own ban on loads. I've already been to some Targets that implied that they didn't want to sit there and split the load on multiple GCs, but when I loaded with 1 AGC they were ok.
