Received an email this afternoon with the subject: "Nintendo Switch 2 delivery follow-up"
"Thanks for your recent Nintendo Switch 2 pre-order. We appreciate your excitement for this release and your trust in shopping with Target. We hope you're loving your new gaming system!
We know you were hoping to receive your purchase sooner. Unfortunately, we didn't make that happen. This isn't the experience we intended, and we're sincerely sorry.
As a thank you for your patience and understanding:
Get a free $50 Nintendo eShop Gift Card on us
We'll auto-apply a special Target Circle Deal so you won't be charged for the gift card at checkout. Deal expires at 11:59pm PT on July 31, 2025."
Checked my Target Circle Rewards and the $50 off offer was auto-applied. Here's the direct offer link (for those that qualify):

I have the offer in my circle offers but it is not giving it to me for free. Maybe it's too early to try?
Subject of email: Nintendo Switch 2 delivery follow-up
Sender: [email protected]
It's a legit email; I did not click any links from the email and went directly to Target site. Lo and behold, there was a wallet offer waiting for me for the $50 eshop gift card. I've attached a screenshot of the wallet offer. Deal expires at 11:59pm PT on July 31, 2025

Just 1. I can access the circle bonus deal but it doesn't apply.

I also see the offer when clicking OP's link, but doesn't show discount in the cart. I didn't get the email, so maybe our accounts do not qualify.
Don't see the offer in my Target Circle offers.
Would have been nice to use this to buy Donkey Kong from the eShop.
