Just so people are aware. There was/is a scam going on where some apple cards were redeemed the moment they were activated in store and the buyer was SOL. I myself am still fighting to get 300$ worth of gift cards and getting bounced around between target, apple and Chase. Buyer beware
Warning: if you are going to buy (any) gift card instore, please take only a pristine looking card. Do not get any card that is less than perfect looking. If you do, it might have been compromised. Better yet, just buy it online.
Source: my own experience with target with the last promo during thanksgiving. Bought few apple gift cards in store. I didnt pay attention to the sticker part of the card. Several of the cards i bought had some small scrapes or imperfections in the sticker part. Thought they were just dirty due to being out in the open. That should have been a clue that they were already compromised. True enough, about 6 minutes after I activated the card on the Target self check out kiosk, they were drained. Mind you, i have not opened the card yet they were drained of its accounts.
Tried to get a refund because of this. Called Apple: they said, yep, were activated and drained by a fraud apple ID. Call target instead to get refund. I called target: they said call Apple instead because we already activated the card correctly. I think there were at least 3 more people from the previous deal thread who had the same experience.
I did exactly what people were asking about above, purchasing these at Target and redeeming at the store.
I think you can enter up to eight Apple gift cards for a single purchase. You can combine multiple Apple gift cards into a single Apple gift card at an Apple Store (if, say, you bought enough cards at at Target to get a MacBook Pro). You have to do this at a physical Apple Store, though, nobody online or on the phone would do it for me.

I see that you can add these cards to your Apple ID balance and then use that balance along with 8 gift cards to make your purchases at Apple.com I would think that's much easier than going into a store to combine the cards first and then make your purchase unless I am missing something here.
If anyone purchases this in-store, do the following:
1. Redeem it and add to your Apple account right away
2. If it's redeemed, call Apple right away. They can return balance if not used.
3. Repeat step 1

Target Red card should give another 5% instant discount.
The fine print isn't super clear to me. For the 5% redcard, it doesn't apply to the following:
"Target gift cards and prepaid cards, Game On, Gift of College and lottery gift cards"
Can someone confirm that target gift cards and prepaid cards are only for actual target branded gift cards, and not 3rd party GCs like Apple or Android.

Red card works with any other gift card including Apple and Disney.
Has anyone run into any issues using these to purchase a Macbook from the Apple store for education? I don't expect any problems but would like to ask anyway.
Any chance I'll be able to purchase eight of these online? Trying to get enough for a MacBook.
I bought multiple cards in the previous deal. Make sure to buy each one in a separate transaction to get the gift card. And redeem the card to your account as soon as you can.
