As someone else posted, I also did not see anyone being "hateful" and certainly no one implying that this was their "biggest problem in life". There is a lesson to be learned here and that is that over-aggressive use of a really good deal, quickly kills it. (and that's not a "theory"-- the veterans here have seen it happen time and again) Most posters that I read were simply trying to convey that lesson. My take-away was that maybe a handful who acted aggressively this time might not do so the next. It's an educational process in some regards. I have learned a lot on these boards, much by means of the "words of caution" given by others who have been around longer than myself. I've previously done things in the past and then later changed how I did it based on lessons given here on the budget board! I completely understand that there were way more people on other forums who shared this and ended up buying by the dozens, than just THIS forum. I absolutely don't deny people their 50-60 uses of the deal BUT it would have been prudent for ALL who needed or wanted that many to buy them over a more extended period of time. Of course we would have to get EVERYONE to understand that concept and agree upon it and that's quite impossible.
The $100 Disney GC I ordered from Target last Saturday took a week to get to me. My balance is due next Monday. I plan on buying physical Disney GC in the store to pay my balance off.
Individual stores can limit the number that you purchase, just like any other item that they might sell. However, I was never told that I could not buy all of the GCs that I wanted in-store back when the Pharma5 discount could be used in conjunction with the REDCard discount.
Thank you!!! This is exactly what I did and it was indeed another 45 minutes on the phone and I had to wait at least another 30-45 for the emails from Target but yes, I have been refunded now - PHEW! I was emailed separate e-gift cards (new ones) from Target for each order and I'm just glad that is over with.
Thank you *all* for being supportive and the ones that have "been there" know how frustrating the experience can be but I wasn't giving up since I knew the money was mine and due to me. I also thought it was a little suspicious someone would use the gift cards immediately after a refund was posted, but hey stranger things can happen. I didn't appreciate the possible insinuation it was *me* that had done something, as that's simply not how I roll. Today was one of those days and I'm just glad that hopefully this is done for now and I'm not combining them on my mobile app anymore. I did what I've always done but this just made me too nervous. I was advised once it's in a force closed status they can't even tell you where and when it was used so it's almost like your word against theirs and that's just plain scary and ridiculous too but we all know how wonky the Target.com experience can be!
Thanks again everyone

Yea, I learned this the hard way!
What's your best guess?
Yes, I have. In store.
