Many here have been using a Target Gift Card to save 5% at Target.com. It was a loophole that worked like this...
1. Have a Target Red card as your default payment.
2. Order stuff. The Payment summary would show the 5% off
3. Edit the Payment option from Red Card to Gift Card. The 5% off discount would still apply.
This loophole appears to have closed. I just tried it this morning. When I started with the Red Card as a payment option, I had the discount. When I changed it to using a gift card, the 5% discount disappeared.
So it was fun while it lasted. It was a loophole after all. A flaw in the system that they have apparently fixed. Those of you who buy gift cards just to use this flaw to save 5% at Target.com may want to find other avenues to save money.
