FYI Target is once again offering a free $10 Target gift card when you spend at least $100 in Apple gift cards online or in stores. The deal is valid 4/2 thru 4/8 according to page 6 of the weekly ad preview:
https://weeklyad.target.com/promo...402&page=6 Ad does not indicate a limit of 1 per guest, but YMMV in stores.
RedCard holders can save an additional $4.50. The discount is not equal to 5% ($5) because Target assigns a $10 charge to the "free" gift card and $90 for the remaining balance owed. Therefore RedCard 5% is based on $90 so the discount equals $4.50.

P.S. Apple has a limit of $2000 to be saved to your Apple Account Balance (*I believe*) + an additional 4 gift cards during checkout when using the Apple Store app, but the website checkout still allows 8. An individual gift card can also not exceed $2000.

Avoiding purchasing physical gift cards from now onwards.
They're lying. During a previous promotion, I bought 7 when the store policy was apparently limited to 5. They had no issue whatsoever voiding the extra 2 transactions and refunding me even though I didn't want them to.
For those buying this in store, make sure you open the gc and check for anything that look specious before buying it. I found one that the redeem code had been scratched off.
Go to self checkout, there's a bunch of target gcs right there. The machine will prompt you to scan one after each apple gc. To be fair it's pretty slow and obnoxious. I prefer doing this online from now on. Much less messy.
I hope you purchased using a credit card. This is "not as described" (it's not $100 value). Keep everything you can to prove your case. Give Target one chance to fix this: document their name, date, and time.
If they refuse to resolve it your next call is to your bank and tell them you want to file a chargeback on the cards that failed to activate. Reason is "merchandise not as described." Target knows full well this has been going on a while and it's on them to be accountable for it.
But one order per account online though. At least no one here says otherwise. Cancellations on additional orders.
Look at my previous post on page 2. As long as I use the target app on my iphone I can keep ordering gift cards. I bought and redeemed 10 so far. All online.

Maybe I can offer you a good tip now. Go into your user page and select the tab "Settings and Options">"Edit Options">"Number of Posts to Show Per Page". You can adjust the number of posts you can see per page up to 45. Less page turning. All of the posts are in my "page one" for this thread.

I bet Apple still hasn't fixed their manufacturing line yet. My problem was clearly an issue on Apple's side where the gift card inside didn't match the packaging outside (so the wrong card gets activated at checkout). Everything looked fine - it was sealed, scratch code still intact.
Long story short, I also am never going to buy these in store again. Slowly building up my balance 2 cards at a time (we have 2 accounts) whenever these deals show up.

AFAIK, people had some success doing it online (safer) multiple times. Give it a shot.
