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%

This has been mentioned hundreds of times on SD of what you can and can't do on every Apple gift card post.
Your situation sucks for sure, but it wouldn't have happened if you had read all 1000 posts in this tread or searched previous threads. Had you asked in this thread someone would have answered and many others would have down voted you probably. Lesson learned.
Maybe add to the wiki to help others too hard to find this so deep in the thread.
received 10 apple ones - waiting for 5 more
received 1 target one - waiting for 14 more
Quote from RussianBytes :
When ordering a phone online, do you get a trade in credit right away, or only after Apple receives the phone?
So, as an example, if you intend to buy a $1000 phone online with a $300 trade in, will Apple charge you $1,000 right away as opposed to $700?
Would it be different if you bought the item from the store...in this case is the credit instantaneous in the sense that you only pay $700 upfront when trade in done live when purchasing at the store?
You answer will help me decide if I should get $1000 in Apple cards or $700. Thanks.
Answer
And you cant use this GC thing in store since there is no way for the store to Apply your online account credit.. you might able to order and get a pickup etc... but still you will get charge the full price
There are no problems or any issues, any longer if you buy online.
What we know so far:
Limit of 7 on $100 denomination cards in individual transactions to get a total of $140 in Target spending cash/card.
No limit OR limit of 7 on $15, $25 or $50 denomination cards.
So, you can order 4 $25 cards, OR 2 $50 cards, or 7 $15 cards and still get $20 on Target spending cash. Woohoo! How is this possible? Each denomination gift card has a different stock picking unit (or SKU) so when placing a limit, Target apparently placed the limit only on the $100 denomination!
Thanks to the person who discovered this loophole (likely a programmer (but not Pagal, obviously) who understands logic in building code).

Follow up question: But, if you buy using $1,000 of gift cards, would the $300 refund be a an Apple gift card for $300?
And you CAN NOT BUY AN ITEM USING YOUR APPLE CREDIT IN STORE.
If you have any doubt Go to apple.com online, buy your iPhone and add the trade in info and this way YOIU CAN SEE EXACTLY HOW MUCH APPLE charges you,. Is it that hard for you to do tha????
Ordered 3x $100 last night around 2am EST.
Received 6x $100 around 3am EST.
Received 4x $100 around 5am EST.
Received 2x $20 Target GC around 9am EST. Still waiting on the other 8. Redeemed all Apple giftcards at 5am EST. Combined the 2 Target ones this morning.
Once you use your money to buy the "Gift Card" it is no longer your money it is the credit Apple sold to you and they dictate how you can use it. If you are unhappy you can use cash and credit card to pay for whatever you want to but plain and simple
received 10 apple ones - waiting for 5 more
received 1 target one - waiting for 14 more
BUYER BEWARE
-------------------------------------------------------
Question for the community:
1) I saw some posts about the online codes as well. Does anyone have trouble redeeming the $100 Apple gift card if sent electronically?
2) Any help from those affected would be greatly appreciated. This is only the surface and I'm sure many more are affected who don't even realize they've been robbed.
Thanks in advance,
I recommend that you file a police complaint.
started yesterday and finished up the last 6 today.
i have received all order emails btw
