Target 20% off coupon

[lovin'fl]

Did you get it by email?
I ordered first thing this morning and only got confirmation of my order, not any coupon... And it's been 12 hours.

I ordered online around 11:40 last night and my coupon just popped up in my e-mail around 8:40am.

Like Kathleen, I tried to use that $10 off $100 coupon on 2 Disney cards as well and it wouldn't work - said they were gift cards! Worries me.

Also I got the email version of the 20% off this morning.

Did you buy the gift cards at Target.com? On line, they ARE gift cards and you don't get the 5% off either, and usually don't get any rewards from ebates.

Yay! Got my 20% off coupon via email this morning!

Also- red card had no problem taking off the 5% buying disney cards. It never takes off when buying iTunes or target cards.

The only concern is the LOWWWW credit limit on a target card. Can't stand that. All my other CCs are 20k... Then my measly target at $600.

I definitely get 5% off the Disney cards when I order online. There was a promo several of us took advantage of not too long ago where you got a free $10 Target card for every $75 you spent so I did seven orders to take advantage of it (as did several of us) and not only received the $10 Target cards but also received 5% off the total so it was a decent savings then.

As you mentioned, Ebates rarely works on the cards and so far only one time I got credit for them.

Are you able to pay for a portion of the bill at check out on red card and then the rest on another card and have the 5% apply to entire purchase? I am in the same boat as you with the low red card limit. I would love for entire purchase to be 5% off and pay rest with my Disney Visa. But now I am getting greedy!

Is there an easy way to find out my balance

(Continued) Is there an easy way to find out my balance before we board? We sail on 12/27 and have booked excursions and Palo. Do I have to calculate on my own or is there a way to know the total plus the tips?

If you have the funds in your checking account, get a target debit card. Same benefits as credit card without the bill or limit. The only limit is your available funds.

I was under the impression that those had daily limits attached to them as well...

 

[mymankeith]

Can you use Target gift cards at the resort when you check in to pay off your balance, or do they automatically charge your card on file at check in??

That's what I was told yesterday. Trying to figure out how to get the extra 5% for my entire purchase.

I'm going to try, though. If there's no debit limit, hooray I have a new target debit card. LOL

I tried to outsmart the system a couple of years ago. Paid $1000 on my target bill and figured it would up my limit while I still had a credit. Nope. They just mailed me a refund check. Damn target.

Had the same problem on one of my other credit cards one time. I was able to get around it by making a $10k payment to my account. I think my available credit was $5k at the time so I was able then to make a $13k purchase.

My email came but it explicitly says can't not be used for gift cards. Does anyone else have this fine print on their email?

This has been discussed for a week now since the coupon leaked. gift cards in targets terminology, are Target Gift cards... Others like Disney, Starbucks and iTunes are considered entertainment cards (though some have reported that Disney cards have been sporadically been coming up as "Disney".) In addition, iTunes cards (one of the dozens of entertainment cards they sell), is specifically excluded but Disney ones (at least on paper) are not. No one knows for sure until tomorrow.

You can pay it on line, but it takes a day or two to clear. I just charged yesterday, so I will pay that off before using the 20% off, so that I have the full (measly) $1000 limit on my Red card. Only what is on the Red card will get the 5% discount, but sometimes a manager will override it and give you 5% on another card when the Red card won't take it. Last year I was trying to buy two iPads in one week. The poor cashier and I screwed it up and I was locked out from even using the remaining credit on my Red card (went in as a purchase, then return, so the remaining balance was used up - then to top it off, the $40 Target gift card came up blank!), so the manager just gave me 5% off on my regular credit card.

You can go to customer service and make a payment, but it won't free up your balance for a day or two.

I was unable to pay more than my balance to increase my credit limit.

I work in the operations dept of a bank and I can tell you the limit in the Target debit card is NOT tied to your available balance in your checking account. A regular bank debit card is but the Target debit card is just a way for Target to store your bank routing and account number so they can send a debit to your account. It's good for Target because they don't have to pay the merchant fees but it does come with the same risk as accepting a paper check which can be returned. I've read Target has some formula for how much they'll let you spend based on your past purchase history. I don't know what the formula is and I've never hit the limit but I'm not going to be surprised if my debit card limits me to less than $1k when I try to buy my Disney cards.

I bought two Disney cards online on Friday and got my 5% discount. I've done this in the past also with both Disney and iTunes.

Sorry, I was gone today, but somebody asked if I tried using the $10 coupon online when I was denied. No, I was in my Target store buying two Disney cards (to get my 20% coupon)and gave them the $10 coupon I had received in the mail a few weeks ago. It was rejected because the Disney gift cards were "gift cards" and thus excluded. I have never had trouble using any other coupon on them in the past. Just saying that the computer rejected them with at least one promo as recently as yesterday. Got my fingers crossed. Waiting to hear of the success of others.

This makes me nervous...

Me too. Disney card online has 5% off no problem.
