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.
Let me know how you fixed it... I've been transferred from Apple Order Support to Technical Services like 7x on the same call, each time explaining the same thing and the person helping me not really understanding the issue.
My iTunes balance disappeared into thin air and nobody can explain why...
No way to get both. I ignored this deal at first because I kept hoping Verizon would come through with a deal for existing customers. But they didn't. So this was the best deal for me.
Verizon does nothing for existing customers. My wife was able to get us BOGO iPhone 12 Pro Maxes by getting me a new line and giving my old number to our son. We considered moving my SIM card into one of the new phones so I could keep my number but the rep cautioned against it.
Next time, 2-3 yrs from now, I plan on moving my number out of Verizon to a prepaid service for a month or two and then moving it back in as a "new line" to get the BOGO.

Swapping the SIM cards won't cause an issue. It doesn't matter which line your phones are used on. But don't try anything like moving the device payment to a different line.
And if you do try porting out and back in for a deal next year, be sure your number is gone for 51 days or more. Anything less and Verizon could consider it a "winback" and not a new line and deny the BOGO credits at some point in the future.

Thanks. Where did you hear the 51+ days rule? I chatted with a rep online a couple days ago and they said there was no minimum time away to bring the same number back. I couldn't find the rule online. I figured on doing it at least two months anyway.

Let me know what happens also. Same thing here. Morning I received a email that said cannot process order. But called apple and they were able to fix it

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%
