I placed two orders for two Mini iPads (one for me and one for my sister) on Thanksgiving morning, but only one order of two has shipped. They haven't sent the $75 gift cards yet either, but with the other order they sent one gift card before they shipped. I called tonight and they said the Minis are out of stock and will ship when they get more. Anyone else who bought iPads on Thanksgiving day still waiting on their gift cards and/or iPads to ship?
 
No, I received an email that they are delayed until 12-10-13. I was afraid this would happen. :confused3
 
I also ordered 2 ipad Minis. The grey one "shipped" right away on Thursday, but it still says a label was created but no other shipping info available. Estimated delivery is 12/06/2013-12/10/2013. I received the $75 gift card for that via email on Saturday. Today I received an email that the white ipad mini that I ordered shipped (again, just a shipping label printed with estimated delivery 12/06/2013-12/10/2013) around 11:11 am. I received the email with my $75 gift card for that one around 11:46 am.
 

I ordered a grey one and it's due to be delivered on Thursday.
 
I received an email today stating both of mine have shipped, and should be delivered by 12-6. I also received one of the e gift cards via email, but the other still shows it hasn't "shipped." I just don't understand why they would send one gift card but not the other.
 
I ordered 2 gray ones at 3am and they shipped on Thanksgiving night. Scheduled for delivery on Wednesay although I am thinking they might come tomorrow since they are already at my local UPS location.

Anybody else still waiting on the free gift card to be sent even though the iPads have shipped?
 
I didn't order an ipad but a SodaStream on black Friday that had a $25 giftcard incentive and I still haven't gotten the gift card. I got an email yesterday that it would be delivered today, as of now, still no gift card.

My gift cards show I have received them, and I have not. They are not in my inbox or my spam folder. I spent 3 hours on the phone with those idiots. THey tell me to email target.com. Target.com tells me to call the phone center. I finally got someone who agreed to ship me real gift cards instead of email, but 5 minutes later I get an email that my gift card was delivered by email (and no, it isn't). I am going to wait a week to see if i get the hard card, and then I am reporting them to the attorney general for consumer affairs if I dont get it.

Target is one of my favorite stores, but I am not doing business with them again over these gift card rebates. It is looking like a scam, even though I hope in the end that it is just gross incompetence.

Wow, that's crazy! At least I have received 3 of the 4 gift cards they owe me. I hope you receive the real cards. I love Target too but this mess and the fact they couldn't find a purchase using the credit card to do a return last night has really frustrated me. I was returning several items bought at different times and when some of the items I was returning didn't show up on the scanned card the lady acted like I was trying to scam them. I KNOW they are on that card because I went home and found the receipt showing them on that card! It was their system that was screwed up! And don't even get me started on the coupon debacle. There system is also not honoring coupons properly if you use a Target coupon and manufacturer coupon for the same item so watch your receipt on those.
 
So now I just discovered new problems! One of my two orders seems to be okay and says the 2 iPads will be delivered tomorrow. However, the other order shows the package leftTarget warehouse on December 2 at 9:19 p.m., but the package has still not been received at the UPS facility. So where has the package been for 2 days?? There is also no estimated delivery date. I'm very worried about this order!

Also, check your invoices and credit card bill carefully when you receive your items because there is also something very screwy about the pricing of my order. I ordered two iPad minis $299 each and one Lego item $16.99. The Order Summary on the top right hand side of the screen says "item subtotal: $691.97". I'm no math genius but even I know my subtotal should be $616.97. So apparently, they charged me for the $75 gift card. It gets even weirder because I clicked on the "print" button so I would have documentation of the screwed up total, and the pop up screen version of the Order Summary shows an even different subtotal of "$766.97" which is the total including 2 $75 gift cards. Ugh, this is a mess, the gift cards are supposed to be free that's the only reason I ordered these stupid things!! I'm going to call them when I get home from work and see if I can get a straight answer. Based on Target's Facebook page comments I doubt the phone line will be any help.

Edited for update:
I called and the customer agent in a foreign country assures me that the items have shipped and that my Debit Card was not charged for the gift cards. However, my bank account does not show a debit in that amount, instead there are several smaller debits including a $75 charge. I guess I will have to wait until I receive the shipping invoice to verify what I have actually been charged and then compare it to my account.

I looked at my bank statement and I was charged for the ipad minis minus the $75 gift card and my 5% red card plus tax. So, I think I was charged $222.XX (or around there). I then received a charge for $75 for the gift card. I'm not sure why Target does this, but it should work out to the same total, just in different charges.

That's how my credit card was charged as well. Well I have 2 charges that equal the $75 and then another charge that is the ipad minus the $75

Target does this so you have to spend the $75 dollars at the store. The gift card is nonrefundable. It's a great marketing tool. If you return the Ipad you still have the gift card to spend because you purchased the gift card and received the gift card amount as a discount on the Ipad. Anything to keep the money at the store. They probably took a loss on the Ipad but are anticipating you spend more in the store to cover the loss and get a good profit on the products you do buy. I know they did with me. My majority of Holiday shopping was at Target this year. :santa:
 
i ordered the ipod touch and was to receive a gift card for $50. instead of sending me the gift card, they took it the $50 off the touch. i checked my target statement and it does reflect the $50 off. would rather have had the gift card.

That's what they did with the iPad minis. Watch for a charge for the $50 gift card & you should receive the gift card.

I got my gift cards emailed to me so I could add them to my account on the app. If you typed in names for sender & recipients for the gift cards, that's who'll they'll be emailed from (so your email will not be from target, it will be from the sender's name).
