Apple part...
How do I add the Apple giftcard into my Apple account?
On your iPhone/iPad: Click on App store --> top right corner, click on your account or picture --> "Redeem gift card or code" --> either manually type it in or scan with your camera.
On your App store on your MacOS --> App store --> bottom left corner click on your account or picture --> "Redeem gift card" (top right corner) --> same step as above.
How many giftcards can I add to my Apple account balance? The max is $2000.
I thought I can only use 8 gift cards for the purchase? Yes, even though that is correct, you can use up to 8 gift cards per order; however, you can use your "Apple balance" on top of that, so $2000 (Apple balance) + $800 (8x$100 gc) = $2800
Can I use half giftcard/Apple balance? Yes, see above.
Can I use half Apple balance/ credit card? Yes, however can't use Paypal.
Target part...
How do I get more than 1 gift card? GO to the store!
Do they have to ring up separately? Yes, and through the self-checkout lane.
What's the process? 1) pick the giftcard, either 1x$100, 2x$50, 4x$25 = $100, 2) bring the gc(s) to the check out lane, 3) scan the card, rescan the card again to activate 4) look up at eye level, you will a stack of Target giftcard, pick one 5) self-check out machine will prompt you to scan the Target giftcard 6) hit pay 7) rinse and repeat 8)use the same Target giftcard earlier to keep adding $15 into the balance. 8) immediately redeem the Apple giftcards through the steps mentioned earlier.
Hopefully this is helpful. wingroks

If buying multiple gift cards you can reuse the same target gift card and just scan it again, the $15 will just add to the existing balance. I did separate transactions for each Apple gift card to be safe. Also, try to redeem your apple gift cards in the app store ASAP to make sure it's not an empty card.
Target considers the promotion in the background as follows: $85 Apple + $15 Target with $15 Apple (bonus).
Therefore, the $100 you pay is split between $85 Apple and $15 Target. Since Red card only gives discount on the Apple one, you get an additional $4.25, not the whole $5.
