    Target coupon for any item (comparable item must be on sale and OOS, see OP for details)
    I recently went to my local Target to get How I Met Your Mother Season 1 on sale for $16.99, original $19.99. That's a discount of 15% (although my rain check says 16%).

    They were out of the item so I went and got a rain check. I noticed something new on this rain check though. I don't recall my old rain checks having this feature. It might have something to do with the recent 41% decline in reported income, lol. It says that I can apply the same discount (15-16%) and get any item in the same category (in this case TV on DVD) that's at full price and apply the discount to it. The example listed on the rain check says "i.e. doll for a doll, shirt for a shirt".

    The qualifications for a rain check on a sale item is that the item is actually still on sale and is out of stock. Ask the customer service desk or the respective department's help desk for a rain check and that discount clause should be on it. You might even get a rain check if you just go to the customer service desk and ask for one. A lazy sales associate might just print it for you.

    Hopefully this helps save you some money!

    rodfan568 says that he did the same with a TV. An out of stock TV was discounted at 16%. The rain check allowed him to receive 16% off ANY TV in the store. Good deal.

    ** Even if this is not new, it's a policy that I as well as many others were unaware of. Don't be a douche about how you already knew about this. Alcoholics Anonymous is a better venue for your anger.

    This does work. I went into Target to look at a TV they had on sale. They were sold out of the TV I wanted to look at. I was told that they would apply the same 16% discount to any TV that I wanted that they had in stock.

    Oh wow, I wasn't thinking on the scale of a TV. This could save you a lot of money! Lol.

    I have done it before for a dvd player! I actually get excited when I see rain check signs on the aisle.

    This clause has been on the rainchecks for at least two years, at least at my local Targets

    This has been on the rainchecks at my local Target for several years, too. I was going to buy a TV that was OOS, so I got the raincheck for it. I don't think they ever got that TV back in, but I found another deal and got my TV from Circuit City instead. That was in Jan 2006, I believe.

    That makes no sense ... you can't get a rain check for an item that's in stock.

    But if you want to get 16% off a TV, look for a TV that's not in stock and ask for a rain check.

    Once you get the rain check, buy the TV that is in stock that you want and get 16% off.

    buy it until they are out of stock, go back and ask for a rain check, return everything.

    Ahh but you can. It just depends on the team member. I believe if they punch in 9861 before the dpci then it will allow them to print one, even if the "system" says there is some instock. It is just a matter of if the team member will do it.

    I've gotten name brand drinks and diapers when the store brand was on sale and sold out... I didn't even have to ask. All I did was go on the last day of their sale (saturday) and they already had the items marked.

    I also got a blender for $10 (40% off) on Black friday when the crockpot they had on sale was sold out.
