Just to answer some common questions I keep seeing:
- Each card needs to be purchased as a separate Target transaction in order to get the Target card bonus for each Apple card.
- You can use the same Target account, no need to make separate accounts (unless you are trying to circumvent the new limit that seems to have been added today).
- You will get an order confirmation email immediately.
- Apple cards will arrive via email several hours to a day later. The email has a link to Target's fulfillment site which will then take you to the actual gift card code. From there you can either manually copy/paste the code or simply click the link and it should open up the proper program on your computer or phone in order to load the card to your Apple account.
- You will receive another email at some point that informs you that the email with the Apple gift card was sent. This email doesn't have any value.
- Target bonus cards will arrive a day or so later via email. I've found that they generally arrive a few hours after you receive the email I mentioned in the previous point above. Sometimes the cards will already be loaded into your Target wallet in the Target app, but the majority of mine have not been preloaded. The email will contain a link that will load them into your Target account. The Target app also has a button that will allow you to combine all the cards into a single balance for easier use.
- The Apple gift cards will trigger the bonus offers on the Apple site (for instance, buy an Apple TV with the Apple gift cards you bought from Target and Apple will send you a $50 Apple gift card).
- You can use the Target gift cards to buy other items at Target that have a gift card bonus offer, but you can't use them to actually buy more gift cards. For instance, you can buy two packs of laundry detergent which has a $5 Target gift card bonus offer and you'll get the $5 bonus gift card, but you can't use the Target gift cards to buy more Apple gift cards.
- You can load up to $2000 in total balance to your Apple account. Additionally you are only allowed to load $2000 total per day. So even if you buy something using your Apple balance you'll still need to wait a day before you can load more gift cards into your balance.
- You can apply up to 8 gift card codes during checkout at Apple.

Apparently, Best Buy will offer the same deal (BB GC) during BF.

Edit: some idiots have been replying to me on how they like this deal better than BB's since GC is more useful to them. I couldn't care less about your situation. I'm just letting people know about BB's deal.

Assuming you're treating the $20 like cash, you're getting 16.67% off, not 20%.

20% would be if they were only charging you $80 for a $100 gift card. You're paying $100 for $120.

Edit: Unless you're including the Red Card 5% off, in which case it's more like 21%

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 😀

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?

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.

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

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.
