Luckily, Target just activated my eBay cards with enough time to take advantage of the 4x eBay bucks. If you ordered today, you may be active now.
Thanks for the picture! (And now I see that includes the $25 Starbucks cards! Uh-oh...)
And you're getting you're $5 promotional Target cards? If you don't mind my asking- do you use a Target Red Card to purchase? I was burned last month picking up a buy a $50 emailed starbucks gift card and receive a $5 emailed Target gift card. Target put the order through and then notified me they cancelled the $5 promotional gift card, no explanation but charged and fulfilled the rest of the order. I didn't think it was worth fighting with them over the phone (I thought that maybe because my Red Card took 5% off the $50 total my purchase didn't qualify?) but if it's working for others I might consider giving it a shot again.If you don't mind getting the Starbucks emailed gift cards, those are part of the spend $50 and get a $5 target egift card that's going on now. Only the emailed ones $15, $25 or $50 are included, physically mailed Starbucks cards are excluded. I've been buying them all week, my husband is a Starbucks addict and this helps a little.

Worked for me too. A very easy 14.5% off. I am going back today to load up for my September trip (or our 2018 Hawaii trip - whichever).Went to my target but they didn't have $25 disney cards. I did end up getting other gift cards just for christmas. The aplebees went through fine, but the others didn't. The cashier said that she couldn't add on the $5 cards but she took $5 off for every two like a coupon. Super nice! Didn't have to get a manager or anything, just looked it up in the ad and said let me make it right for you.
What an awesome way to start your vacation!! Have fun!Went to target tonight and bought $1000 Disney gc's in $25 cards, and paid with redcard for five percent off, and all in one transaction. Took me awhile to find the $25 ones, but I was glad I kept looking and eventually found two big sections of them. Asked the girl at CS, she checked the ad, tried to do it but then checked with the manager just to be sure and He said "yep, just put it thru, it's not a big deal", lol. First she was giving me five for every card but then we figured out why it wasnt making sense, lol, that woulda been a great deaL!! Anyway, it was easy and no problem, so, very glad I decided to try it!
Now I gotta try to get to bed soon, gotta be up in a few hours to get to the airport! Be in WDW before noon Thursday! WooHoo!
Lucky!! My Target wouldn't let me do it! Even though the ad said "any $25 gift card". I had $750 worth and was ready with my RedCard!!Went to target tonight and bought $1000 Disney gc's in $25 cards, and paid with redcard for five percent off, and all in one transaction.

I think target should post a correction to the ad or honor it. It's incredibly misleading as is. These situations where some people get the deal and others don't could be avoided if target would get their act together.Lucky!! My Target wouldn't let me do it!

Oh got yah!!! At first thought you were referring to getting gift cards with the 20%. I started getting excited thinking there may be a way to do that lol!!! Yep you are right! I bought 2 Target gift cards and they sent my 20% coupon fairly quicklyThe coupon may exclude gift cards, but the fine print to qualify for the coupon did not exclude them.

I went to Target this morning to pick-up an online order and was going to grab some $25 Disney on this discount. My store has signage up that the sale is ONLY on the gift cards that 'are signed' as being included. Weird way to put it but I knew what they meant. And they have signs over Applebees, Stubhub and a couple others. So I did not bother asking for the discount.
Yep, in the check out lanes they are putting special labels over the cards that are pictured. It's clear the Disney Cards are not intended to work this week.
I'll just wait until Sunday when that new deal will work without intervention.
Thanks for telling me. I found out what happened and this may help anyone else here who encounters this with Target online gift card purchases. Today I purchased another $50 starbucks gift card on the buy $50 in digital gift cards get a $5 target gift card and Target again cancelled my $5 target gift card immediately. When I dug into it Target just took $5 off the price of the transaction. I clicked the order in my online history and it showed a savings of 15% on the online receipt (10% for the $5 promo plus my 5% red card). I went back into my red card statement from last month when this first happened and indeed they only charged 2.50 when it should have been 7.50 (the rest I paid with a Raise target gift card). I have no idea why Target is taking $5 off immediately for me and sending others gift cards but since I was claiming to have been cheated by Target out of my $5 promotional gift card earlier I felt I needed to come back and say what actually happened.I haven't had a problem yet. I've been receiving the $5 promotional cards, sometimes when I can get Target cards from Raise I will use those if not then I just use my red card to pay (either way I get the 5%). So far I have been using the $5 from the previous transaction to purchase the next card.
