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%

tip #2... use CB even if you don't think you will get a percent.. at worst you get 0.. at best you always get something.. For instance... if you use urlhasbeenblocked and buy electroncis at amazon, you will get 0 %.. but urlhasbeenblocked aka urlhasbeenblocked now still gets 4 %, they just cant share the 4 % as amazon doesnt allow splitting of electronics..
how annoying w/ the url is blocked SD.. if u dont want your competitors mentioend then give CASH BACK.. i'm referring to rakuteeeeeeen in this example

Which is the best for CB I've used others in the past that you have to have min $30 in CB before they send you the earned CB and so I basically quit using it.

They probably know that X percent of people will LOSE the GC or never use it... My guess is 5-10 % that get it... Then they can calculate that yes we give $20, but the average person spends $50 in store per purchase where 10 % is profit to them... So i'm sure they are making money off it (my number is a guess)....
That makes sense for their own Target gift cards - and they probably make money off the float - but I'm less clear about the 3rd-party cards like Apple or Starbucks. When they aren't running this sort of promotion, how much money does Target make on a $100 Apple gift card?

i bet 0 if i had to guess... they probably assume that people will buy a apple GC + something extra.. just like when you buy MILK at the local grocery store, the store basically makes 0 on it, but knows you will buy other stuff.. its also why its on the opposite side of the store , so you have to walk far to get to the milk, and pick up 3 other items prior to getting to that area..

i would not be holding more than i can apply to my account.. to many bots etc that try to break the code mechanism.. why do you want to hold more than 2k?
Well even if I buy a M1 MacBook right now it won't ship until 12/30, which is when they'll deduct the funds from my account and will be when I can add more cards to my account. So at minimum I have to wait until then. Alternatively I might decide to wait for a 16" M1 later in 2021 so I'll need to hold the funds until then.

No, it's what both the regular store says as well as my corporate discount store. I assume education would be the same but I don't use that one.

Sure they do, of the $100, $80 goes to Apple ($100 value card) and $20 goes to Target. Apple is the loser!
And how do you know that? It could be a coop split between the two or a loss leader for Target to get you to use those 20.00 credits on high margin stuff? Apple also knows there is some breakage on cards and I have no idea to what total that becomes for them.

A true SD would get a job at Apple or at least a P/T job merely in order to get the employee discount, or date somebody who does work there.

Just checked... education store says the same dates. All the way out to 12/31. This is custom configured one, not default model.

Yeah, it's probably already a loss leader, which makes giving away an additional $20 (or $24, if the buyer uses the Red Card) an interesting strategy. Maybe they figure people who buy Apple gift cards are probably also the type who buy higher ticket items like TVs etc. The margins on those things are pretty slim though.
