If you pay with red card, you'll see a $4 discount, i.e. $96 total.
This is how Target normally does promotions with gift cards.
Here is the breakdown:
1. $80 for the Apple gift card (5% red card discount)
2. $20 for the Target gift card (no red card discount)
So, using Discover 5% or Paypal+Chase 5% is better
How to redeem more than 8 Apple Gift Cards: wingroks
Yes, if you order through Apple.com online and pick up in store, the maximum giftcards that can be applied to the order will be 8 only. However, one way to work around that is added the giftcard into your AppleID account first www.apple.com/redeem - maximum amount you can have under your AppleID is $2000, then you can use the giftcards for the rest.
In able to add balance, either use apple.com/redeem and follow the steps or
go to Apple.com --> select shopping cart --> account --> "your apple balance account" --> Manage balance --> add money to balance/ redeem gift card voila!
Once you have added the giftcard into your "apple balance account" (reminder: only $2000 max), during the ordering process, make sure to sign in to your AppleID, and it will show that you have *insert how much credit you got here* and hit "apply", the credit will then apply to your order.
Scenarios 1:
Total order is $2200. Apply $2k credit from previous steps, then you "pay with Apple giftcard" to order…enter giftcard pin…and done!
Scenarios 2:
Total order is $2900 total. Apply $2k credit from previous steps, then "pay with Apple giftcard" to order …entering $100 gift card pin 8 times… pay $100 with debit/credit/paypal.
NOTE: you can use however many giftcard in Apple store to buy products if you want… however keep in mind, all shopping required reservations since they only allowed limited amount of people inside the store at once due to the pandemic.
NOTE **: Yes, you can use Apple gift card for anything, to pay for AppleCare+, books, apps, subscriptions, pay for accessories, etc. "treat it like cash" and yes, it has no expiration dates.
I dont know if this was posted in this thread or not, but people that have instantly fraudulently claimed Apple GCs, this class-action lawsuit may help you out: https://topclassactions
Obviously one customer reached out to ABC news, and Target then refunded him the money. We should make this public. Target should not discriminately process customers' cases just because we didn't go to the media.

There is a 20 transaction limit on the RedCard when used at Target.com. In other words, you can place 20 online orders on Target.com per 24-hour period. There is no limit on the in-store purchase. Unknown if this limit apply to the RedCard with the MasterCard logo.

- 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.

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.
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%

Number of posters here have done that and it just works out much better than hoping online orders go through.
So if you have a Target near you, stop by the electronics section and look for a giftcard rack. Grab $100 worth (in total, doesn't need to be a single card) and go to a self checkout.
You'll be prompted automatically to scan a Target giftcard for the bonus $20.
Guess you then have to keep your fingers crossed you didn't buy a giftcard like some are reporting where the funds are "stolen" or taken immediately after activation. ;-) <Not sure how widespread the issue is but it seems like more than an isolated incident and I feel for anyone having to try to get their money back...>
If you are really paranoid, once you check out immediately add the card to your Apple account while still in the store. Takes 1 minute using the Apple Store app.
Good luck. I was able to get $1,000 (2 online and 8 in store) this way without any issue and just bought a MacBook Air.

Timeline:
1. I ordered one on Nov 22 with my credit card. Apple GC and Target GC were delivered within 10 minutes.
2. Nov 23 I placed 2x orders at 11pm thinking I'd get deliveries next morning. It's now 11pm on Nov 24 and I finally got both successfully. The listing says you'll get it within 4 hours, but I think they're definitely backed up. But I can confirm I did each transaction separately on the same Target account with the same credit cards. The Target gift cards were all delivered and applied to this single Target account. I've also applied the Apple gift cards to my Apple account successfully.
I was afraid of getting orders cancelled, so I guess I'm spacing them out. I'm going to order another 2 tonight. Hopefully I'll see it delivered in the morning!
Just make sure any card you purchase doesn't look tampered with, activate the card immediately in store, and there should be no issue.

I found the courage to order a bunch more tonight but hopefully they don't get canceled. I'll try to remember to report back in the morning

My sis and I have the same billing address and she placed her 7 orders the night before mine and she had no issues. Then, she continued to place more orders yesterday morning too and again none got canceled. So we are wondering maybe Target is tracking the billing address and the system only recognizes one account per billing address?
