Do you have your Apple Account Balance added as a card in the wallet app? It was a feature released in iOS 15.

If you don't, add it by tapping on the +. This might solve your issue. Let me know if it does.
Thanks for the suggestion. I didn't when I started this odyssey, but I did add it later to no avail.

For anyone who may stumble upon this thread in the future, the 5th customer service rep ended up having me charge it to my credit card, and then transferred me to a 6th who was supposed to refund my card and apply the Apple Account Balance to it. She couldn't get that to work so she had to put a request on it.

At this point I'm fully expecting to have the $500 just sitting in my Apple account forever.

Mine applied without incident but I did pay the tax on credit card all the rest on apple balance.
I bought the target gift cards and within 15 minutes had the redemption links email to me.
So just to clarify, you were able to buy multiple online with the free $5 via the same Target account? Past deals enforced a limit of 1 online, but this one doesn't have those written terms.

Sorry you're in this situation. Interesting to know that they can shift the gc balance over like that. I would expect your request to be honored since it's being escalated to someone with more tools. Post a reply to this when you have one.

Good if you need to buy something from Apple, add to your Apple balance or pay for AppleCare service like new battery, etc. I've used on all three. Once upon a time Apple had two separate gift cards: iTunes and then a gift card for Apple product purchases. So glad they just combined into one card some years ago.

Yes I ordered 10 $50 target gift cards all as separate transactions. All got the $5 target gift credit.

I wish I had know that this would happen. iTunes gift card discounts/promotions were pretty readily available. Discounts are smaller now, which I'm sure is not a coincidence due to the gift card change.

Nice, that's definitely a change then! Thanks for clarifying. Repped.

This was much better than the last deal around the holidays which I think was limited to a single 10$ Target gift card per account. I bought 6 today and now have my subscriptions paid up for over a year with an effective 15% discount after red card.

Talked to a rep and they said they will put in a request to check why I can't checkout (24 hours). So going that route for now

I had that same error. I just applied a few dollars on my CC and the rest on my apple account balance and then it worked.

I was finally able to complete my checkout. What I did was change to in-store pickup and try to checkout. The site complained that it's only available for delivery. I went back and checkout out again for delivery and it finally worked. What I noticed was that the site changed my billing address to the pick-up store address. Not sure if the billing address is the caused of the issue.
