Just purchased (1) $100 gift card online. Then got my $100 Apple GC ($90 charge + $10 target gift = $100) in my email 2 min. later. Reordered the same thing again 5 min. later and was able to get a second $10 target GC and it arrived 2 min. later again. Paid with Apple Pay to get the extra 5% CB via Discover card. No need to go B&M on this deal it looks like.
So far I managed to purchase 8x$100 gcs. I wait for each one to arrive in my email before I place another order. It takes around 5-10mins for that. I will try to reach $2k, so another 12 cards. I will update later again.

Christmas 21/22 was 100 get $15. I miss Christmas 2020 when it was 100 get $20 lol. Bought my wife an ipad Air then stacking those gift cards plus the student discount.
Anyone know if the student discount on Apple's end is still just "say you are a student"?
Isn't it not recommended to buy in store due to risk of scam/invalid physical gift cards..?
Yep, that scam is still going on. My sister just purchased gift cards in store for an event and the people she gave them to were calling her saying their was no balance on the cards. She went to customer service and they gave her the runaround and told her to contact Apple. They only agreed to send her new cards after she put up a big stink and stayed on the phone with them for hours.
If you do it in store make sure you redeem right in your Apple account on the spot and do one at a time. I still don't trust it, every gift card I've ordered through mail or email has been fine.

There is some risk involved due to scammers. See comments in past SD threads for this deal. I'd advise checking for tampering, and verifying the balance while you're still in the store so that if there's an issue, you can go straight to the customer service desk.
YMMV on bad gift cards. I've never gotten an Apple gift card that was previously drained.
Time to buy 10 for the next iPhone and make an easy $100 in Target gift cards.
I'm thinking of doing this. Already set on getting a new phone in a couple of months. But I don't know how to get around buying ten, plus worrying about them being invalid

You buy one, load it to your Apple account. Then load the Target gift card to your Target account and rinse and repeat x 10.

In the store they have the extras not on display in batches that are wrapped up. They use these to refill the shelves when they are used up. An employee was able to get 10 for me from this batch and activate them all helping with the scam risk
