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.

- 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%

Missed this one and was going to purchase some Apple products soon.
I ordered 9 gift cards on separate orders in order to get my wife a new iPhone 12. I had delays like many others, I had 1 come through a couple hours later, then 6 the next day and the last two took a while longer.
It seems the system glitched and for the 6 transactions I ended up getting emailed again from target. In both emails it's the same order number but with two different gift cards. So it seems like I got an extra $600. I double checked and I only got charged for the original 9 orders. I ended up verifying with their customer service and they said "there was a system issue happened that's why multiple GiftCards were sent to your account". They said I won't be charged and I'm fine to keep them, so it ended up being almost a bogo. Not bad at all.

Subtle aside that I discovered (after purchase of deal and then of iPhone 12 pro max 512) for those with ATT, and an iphone 6s that will get you $350 credit over 30 months.
You can't pay for phone in full from Apple with gc AND do $350 trade-in with ATT. It's one or the other.
This is an important detail when assessing this deal. If someone knows how to do both, please let me know!!!
When buying the iPhone 12 Pro Max 512G (top price phone), aside from time invested in buying gc, it's basically a wash when buying from Apple or ATT. (Other issues aside, such as locked/unlocked).
When buying a lower priced phone, the pendulum swings clearly to buying from and trading in with ATT (assuming the $350 trade-in).
However, in situations where no trade-ins or "good" trade-in value are available, the Apple gc deal still rocks.

I just got an email saying my gift cards "didn't go through" and to update my payment method. I'm in meetings all day and probably won't be able to call until tonight, anyone else have this issue?

Girl I spoke to put the payment through again. She was unable to fully articulate what was happening but when I logged in it looks like I'm still paying $899 for a base MacBook, using 8 gift cards, but now I'm paying $100 more.
My iTunes account has a $0.00 balance so I'm not sure what's going on.
I guess I'm the only one with these strange order issues...

If you had 8 GCs then its $800 value -- $899 MacBook would mean you still have $99 + tax on full $899 left to pay
Stuff that doesn't matter a ton to me, but, might to others - the phone is unlocked, I am not locked into AT&T for 30 months, and I don't have to wait 30 months to realize the benefit of the tradein (and in fairness for comparison on this, I did have to put forth now the full payment for the phone, rather than paying out in smaller chunks over 30 months). I also think, and will know for sure in my next bill, that I won't have to pay a $30 activation fee (I think I would have incurred this charge had I purchased from AT&T, but, am not sure whether this is the case).
