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.
https://www.bestbuy.com/site/blac...8908893088

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%

How is this Apple's problem? You loaded a physical gift card to a digital account and you walk into a physical store to pay? Use the funds to pay for cloud or netflix subscription through Apple at 20% off.

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.
I am not sure I follow you. If you add the $100 Apple card...lets say $1,000 ($100 times 10 cards) to your Apple App store account, are you saying you can't use it to buy an iphone a) in the store, and b)online?

Yes you cant do it in store you can only use the credit ONLINE people please don't ASSUME anything. take your time and READ what other people say. This is MOST likely mentioned in all the iTunes GC thread if you are too lazy to read or ask question don't blame others please

Question:
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
Quote from keung :
Get 700, as far as I know Apple suppose to charge you full price refund your trade in value to your credit card or whatever form of payment.. the simplest way to check is just go through the payment process with out complete then you will see.

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
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?

You are Pagal indeed.

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).
I tried to do just this and it didn't work. I ordered 10 $100 gift cards (separate transactions) only 7 out of 10 went through. I tried to do 4 $50 on the same account, but those got cancelled instantly. Had to get the last 3 cards on my other target account.

This doesn't make sense if Apple won't let you use the money in your Apple account to make a purchase in the Apple physical store.

I don't know why you are asking the same question apple Charge you FULL PRIE + TAX and will refund you the trade in once they review the trade in.
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????

Apple designs how they let you pay, if you are unhappy you can suit them but it is perfectly within their right to do whatever hell they do since once you buy the GC you agreed to their TERM OF SERVICE
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

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,
#1) No issues online.

I recommend that you file a police complaint.
