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.

"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.
Thx
The 5% target red card discount will be applied to $90, in turn the Apple Card will cost $85.50. An additional $10 will be charged for the $10 Target Gift Card.
Furthermore, one loses the ability to use 5% discount on the target gift card. In effect the true cost of Apple $100 gift card will be $86 — 14% discount for Red Card holders.
I want too hard, too fast. Now Apple gets an interest free loan from me.
- They were limiting purchases to 1 every few days. If you are looking to buy multiples, you might only be able to get 2 within the week.
- Redcard 5% didn't work for me at the time, so I used a Discover card for the quarterly promo. Currently Redcard 5% seems to apply when I add the GC to cart, but it might not apply during the promo period.
- There were a lot of reports that GCs bought in-stored were already redeemed. While you can get around the purchase limits by buying it in-store, there is a risk attached to it.
