Confirmed. The screen says, in a big red box with an 'X': "Can't sell more of this prepaid item." It affects AFT and RedCard.

So direct deposit is activated and the load limit is changed from 5k/28 days to 10k/28 days. One cent is the lowest amount possible.

To the above few posters:

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I always thought the way this works is that you can't load more than $3,000 per card per month. I was under the impression that with one card, you can only do 3k a month max. I would love to be proven wrong as I have 2 cards to my name and 1 card in another person's. I've never tried doing more than 3k per 28 days on the lone wolf card!

After reading through the wiki one more time this at least appears possible. Is anyone doing 5k a month with a single card?

The info here and on redcard seem to be contradicting. Can we load 2 different AFT in 1 transaction ?

Where is information contradictory?

To answer your question: Not anymore.

You're misunderstanding how the limits work. Getting a direct deposit does not raise the "cash" load limit to $10k. That is a separate limit.

When I called in the CSR spent nearly a half hour on the phone with his technical team, and confirmed that it should work, and that a ticket would be raised.

The verbiage on the website states the following:

When you purchase the Card, there is a minimum initial load amount of $.01 and a maximum initial load amount of $500. Each time you reload the Card you can add from $.01 to $1,000 to the Card. There is no ongoing minimum balance requirement, but the maximum balance you can have on your Card at any given time is $2,500. You can have up to two Cards issued to you. The maximum balance you can carry per Card, at any given time, is $2,500, and you cannot load more than $5,000 across both Cards over a 28 day period.


However, we permit you to maintain a higher balance limit and monthly maximum load amount of $10,000 across both Cards over a 28 day period if loaded with direct deposits from your employer or other payor.

Yeah, got that. Someone quoted from redcard thread that they loaded theirs and their wife's card in same transaction.

Today I did $1k twice, 2 separate transactions same credit card. This past Sunday I did $2k all in one transaction. It depends on which customer service rep is working. One older lady doesn't know how to load more than $1k at a time so when I am at her register it's 2 transactions. A few of the others know how to do $2k in one transaction, so when I am at their registers it's $2k in one shot. Whenever I use a $500 VGC I make sure that is only 1 transaction. It may not be the most efficient system, but it works for me.

Please call back and make sure to remind them to fix the Target prepaid Redcard too, go into as much detail as you can.

So much for doing $6k per month (per SSN).

While I appreciate your sarcasm, the terms don't state anywhere that the increased limit is only for direct deposit, with the cash limit staying the same, and the CSR confirmed that.

I wouldn't trust the CSRs for any of the AmEx prepaid products. But just to confirm- you have successfully loaded $5999.99 to a single AFT (or two linked cards) within a 28 day period, and this was done by loading $1k at a time? Or did you do this by having multiple loads on a single swipe, using the register trick that recently closed?
