Wii U 8GB Basic Set Console + New Super Mario Bros. U in Stock at Target

Back in stock was able to add to cart

Quote from eryeal : Target must have thousands of these in stock - been live for 2 hours now and all over deal websites everywhere.

Less people likely to try to flip these.. since they come with Mario, have shipping (extra for expedited), and are the less popular white version

Quote from ninedayfall75 : I have a bad feeling about this console. I was considering buying 3, or 4 to flip, but I don't think it's worth my time.

yeah, I had 3 deluxe versions purchased through Best Buy and I cancelled my order... I'm just not getting a good vibe about these.

Quote from thund3rcat : Ehh be glad you didn't buy it for flipping. Ebay is just flooded with these now, there was about 500 wii u listing last week, now approaching the launch it's at 1000. Maybe it will go back up before Christmas, but I doubt it. Everyone and their mom is trying to flip it this time around.

Even if 75,000 end up on ebay and 25,000 on craigslist thats only 2000 per state (I know that it doesnt break down that way I'm talking hypothetically). Being sold out everywhere is going to force people to pay inflated prices.

Quote from lodoss22 : Wait, so, when you go through the Shop Discover portal, you don't actually have to have a Discover credit card to earn 5%?

You have to have a discover card to gain access to shopdiscover, however you dont have to pay with your discover card. Any form of payment works to get the additional cashback.

Ah, I see. Good to know, thanks.

This is just not true.

Do I have to link the retailer from ShopDiscover to get these offers or can I go directly to the retailer's website?

To get these offers, you'll need to link to the retailer's website from ShopDiscover and pay with your Discover Card.

Quote from throlly : Wish I could get a Red Card, but alas I was denied.

I was approved, but only for $300...ha ha. All of my other cards are $2,000+, with low balances...I don't get it.

because target card is not like a regular credit card, it is not backed by an official bank, only by target. Target has to be a lot more stringent on their credit as they lost A LOT of money a few years ago when the market crashed and people stopped paying. I have a $3,000 limit (which I think is the max, I could be wrong but i've never heard of someone with more) and I have $20,000 limit or more on other cards. They also would not increase the limit when I called, they said they do not take requests for increased limits, the computer determines it.

Also the target debit card is the exact same thing as their credit card because they put a limit on and the limit does not go away until a week or 2 later when your payment clears. It is just like paying with a check with a limit. Instead of paying one bill every month, you are just making multiple payments with each transaction. My debit card has been declined dozens of times even though I have plenty of money in my account because it has such a small limit, so honestly there is no real difference with their credit card and debit card.

Quote from OhioState- : You can now apply for their Target Red Card online. I just did and was instantly approved. Free shipping and instant 5% off. Makes this deal slick.

I called earlier about this and I was told that I could not use the credit card online until the physical card arrived in the mail ~10 business days later

Bought only one ( walmart bundle ), knew it was a hassle.

Finally applied for the RedCard and got approved, right after placing the order. To try, just in case they improved since last year, called them to change the payment method from credit card to RedCard but I was told their usual crap that absolutely nothing can be edited after 30 minutes. Not surprised to see that Target.com customer service still consists of pathetic liars, they always try to get rid of you without the slightest help when you contact them.

i don't know what happened to me but somehow i overlooked this... and Target for some reason still has not responded to my RED debit card application I mailed out a while ago.

i'll stick with my white Wii U from BestBuy then... for myself of course.

this would be a great bundle as Mario and Rayman are the only 2 launch titles I want to play right away.

I ordered mine last night around 10 PM EST, and I received email this morning that it shipped. Sadly, Target is shipping the consoles and games separately. I selected standard shipping. The console is coming via UPS Ground, and the game via UPS Mail Innovations, which is such a misnomer because there is nothing innovative about combining the worst of UPS with the worst of USPS.

Anyone else receive shipment notification?
