I just received my new Target REDcard by American Express in the mail and I am really excited to max out the benefits of this new card in 2015! In order to get approved for a REDcard by American Express Serve, you need to cancel your BlueBird account, so I didn’t take this step lightly. The REDcard comes with great savings at Target and the ability to reload the card directly at the cash register with your credit card of choice.

 How To Save 5% On All Target Purchases

• The REDcard is free
• You can load up to $5,000 per month onto this REDcard for free ($2,500 per visit) and earn points and miles while doing so when you use your credit card!
• Plus, you’ll get 5% off your Target purchases

Bottom Line

RED is the new Blue. I traded in my BlueBird account for a REDcard account and couldn’t be more excited about the benefits including 5% off every purchase at Target and the ability to load the card directly at the register. Check your state to see if the REDcard is available in your state or a state you’ll be visiting, because you can always pick one up while you are on the road.
