Just Saved over $400 using Disney gift cards purchased at Target!

Is there something saying you cannot pay cash?

If you want to attempt to stack a 20% coupon with the 5% redcard discount, you would have to use the redcard, not cash.

I'd love to see this work but my recent experience tells me it may not

I'm normally a very optimistic person, but I don't have super high hopes about this coupon. All of the Target coupons have the same language on them, but some of them work on Disney cards and some don't.

If I can spend $75 on a Target card (or Disney cards!), I'd love that. I really don't see $75 worth of stuff in that Black Friday ad that I am interested in, and I'd hate to buy something I don't really want in order to get a coupon that may or may not work for my card-buying purposes!

Couldn't I buy $75 in Disney gift cards online on Bf to earn the 20% coupon?

Perhaps, but you'd have to buy a $100 since they are in $50 denominations.

Does anyone have any idea on how you would know if your online purchase qualifies for the 20% off coupon. The ad says purchase on the 29th but you'll get the email with the coupon on the 30th. I'm just wondering if we bought the gift cards, either Target or Disney as the $75 purchase how will you know on the Friday that it worked?

Don't you have to use the RedCard to get the 5%?

My Target has just put up a "holiday" type display with additional gift cards, and the display had $25 Disney cards, in addition to the $50 ones they always carried at the checkout.

no on the target cards they have to be entertainment cards to get 5% off.

Any other cards count as entertainment cards other than Disney?

That's what I hope to do for one 20% off coupon.

I know for sure that iTunes and Southwest are included. I believe that any of the restaurant cards are also under the "entertainment" umbrella.

Oh i could buy southwest cards too!
That would really help with airline costs.

check before you buy...I got excited as well but someone told me SW will only allow 4 types of payments per purchase . Target only sales $50 SW cards ( i think)

Meaning: Buy 1 ticket you can only use 4 cards, if you buy 6 tickets together you can only use 4 cards , if you buy multiple tickets but buy them separate you can use 4 cards per ticket.

This is true, but if you just purchase $75 worth, be careful about using your Red Card. That would drop your total below $75 and I don't know how strict they are going to be about that $75 threshold.

The only cards that ARE NOT entertainment cards are Target cards, and prepaid Visa/American Express cards. All of the other travel, restaurant and retail cards are classified as entertainment cards.

Yes, correct that your $75 is AFTER discounts, tax, shipping and so forth
So you would have to "over buy" above the $75 amount in order to get the coupon. As your red card will drop your total below $75 and you will NOT,get the coupon

Buying a household necessity (a gallon of milk, a box of laundry detergent) should get you back above $75. Or buy a pair of pajamas for your kiddies.

Just recieved an email back from Target guest relations in regards to stacking the 20%, here is the response I got....

"If you have a REDcard and a Pharmacy Rewards certificate you will be able to use them with this 20%coupon during one shipping trip between Dec 1- 7. Great products. Good value. And a great shopping experience – every time you visit our stores. That's what Target is all about."

Now we just wait and see if the coupon is good on Disney GC's. I knew better than to ask that question directly to Target

I just tried a "test run" buying on-line Disney gift cards and the limit was 10 cards. (They were only sold online in $50 denominations - so $500 worth). I'm going to check out my local Target store to see if they have more than that available.
That's still a substantial savings:
$500 X 20% = $100.
So GC's would cost $400 + 5% off for RedCard. So total cost would be $380?
Am I figuring correctly?

Your numbers are correct, however, I wouldn't count on the 20 percent off coupon working online. The 5 percent pharmacy rewards coupon will work in store but not online when it comes to Disney Gift cards. Even if the 20 percent coupon will work for Disney cards in store I wouldn't be surprised if it doesn't work online.

 

[gretchenohar@hotmail]

Good point, My3Princez.
Guess I'll go online for the original $75 purchase and head out to store the 1st week in Dec.

We were waiting to hear back from guest relations..as we also contacted them

This is GREAT news!

Wondering if target employees can also add/stack their employee discount...but that might be a stretch

You're right, the coupon explicitly says redeemable in store only.
