This collaborative space allows users to contribute additional information, tips, and insights to enhance the original deal post. Feel free to share your knowledge and help fellow shoppers make informed decisions.
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.
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.
The negative part of this deal is it seems like none of the apple stores have iPads in stock and its backordered until at least mid December, if not early January. While other stores like Best Buy have them in stock.
tldr - I'm sure some people will think I'm trolling but target accidentally sent me double gift cards on 6 of my 9 transactions. I'm posting to see if this happened to anyone else.
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.

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%
