I think the milestomemories website has something wrong on the coding of it
I had a problem with redbird yesterday and would like your thoughts. I bought a vanilla gift card from Office Depot and it wouldn’t load onto my redbird at target and I tried multiple counters. However, it worked for a visa gift card from staples. I hadn’t heard anything on vanilla visas not working at target so is this probably a fluke?
Update. I decided to try again and it loaded fine. So hopefully it was a one time fluke!
Sometimes the Vanilla cards can take up to 24 hours to activate properly. It seems like you may have run into that. I’m glad it worked!
