The net cost is $100 (for $120 of goods). You should think about changing your user name.
I did not know an item like cash was considered a good.

Dude you have to learn to read before responding. Nowhere did I say it's not the same as cash. I think it's time for you to raise a white flag.
Lord!

I got charged $100 on my credit card. Is that right or not?

I'm getting $20 back. Is that true or not?

My net payment is $80. Is that true or not.

So the only confusion one can have here is whether they got a 20% off on the $100 product because they paid $80, or whether the $80 they paid made then 25% profit since they got $100 worth of goods for their $80. And both those would be right.
The only thing that wouldn't be right would be 16.67%, which would be the case if someone effectively paid $83.33 for the product πŸ˜€

I understand this is difficult for myopic individuals, but some people judge their spending on a larger time scale.

This might be a dumb question. Is there an expiration to the Apple gift card?

Quote from the deal master :
No, it's just semantics at this point. Everyone here can divide 100 by 120. Congrats on that. What is the justified net cost to someone when all is said and done? (Given Target GC = cash) It's a 20-24% discount.
Just think if it's 100 Apple Card for extra 100 target card, are you getting 100% off? Because 100% off means free product. But you are actually out 100 dollars. You didn't get it for free

I give up...and not because you're correct, but because you'll never understand. Wave

Quote from tenchim86 :
Funny that we're arguing so much about math in this thread. I think user "deal master" has a nice argument. However, the issue stems from whether the user considers the gift cards to be cash. All gift cards are technically "cash" when used at the appropriate store.

The math for percent saved works out as [1 - (total expense/total gained)].

Assume it's all cash. You give me $100 and I give you $120. Yes, $120 is 20% more than $100. However, we aren't looking how much larger 120 is vs 100. We are looking at the percent discount.

Assume the same situation as above, but now you give me $80 and I give you $100. $100 is 25% larger than $80. However, percent discount is 20%.

I think this makes the most sense. So overall percent discount for this sale is 16.67%.
The 20% and 25% part of your comment is right, the rest is not. That is IF you're considering target card as cash. You paid $100 cash, they gave you back $20 cash. That's a 20% discount.

Quote from bearsworth8 :
The only problem again with this silly example is that once you get the extra $20 back. You can use it to pay the charged $100 so you only pay $80.
Since when can you use target GC money toward a Red Card bill? The $20 has to be spent on something going forward. I don't think it's a mistake that companies are doing it this way, it's a mental game that makes many people feel like they are getting a better deal than they really are. For the record I still pulled the trigger, good deal.

You didn't get $20 "back", you get $20 extra, that's why you cannot use it to subtract the original 100. You are actually paying 83.3% for the product because you are paying 100 for 120 worth of product. Your net cash out of pocket is still 100

Did you think dropping in a fancy word would convince people your math skills were better? Applause

I don't think you understand that the $20 difference is out of $100, NOT out of $120. You calculate $20 of YOUR money spent which is $100, and that's 20% discount of YOUR spending.
