Deal Details
Takes advantage of 2 deals and 5% off from Target Circle (credit) card.

1st deal is the $15 gift card back with $100 Apple gift card purchase at Target.com or in store.

https://www.target.com/p/apple-gi...nk=sametab


2nd deal is buy an ATV direct from Apple and receive a $25 Apple gift card.

https://www.apple.com/shop/gifts/shopping-event



Step 1: Buy 2 $100 Apple gift cards from Target with Target Circle card for 5% off. Total of $190 not counting the pennies. Get 2 $15 ($30 total) Target gift cards back. Separate transactions.

Step 2: Go to Apple.com and buy the ATV 4k 128gb for $150+tax with your $200 of Apple gift cards (can add to Apple account first.) Current Apple promo runs thru Dec 1st and gives you a $25 Apple gift card back with purchase of ATV.

Sidenotes: Tax is YMMV and will determine the exact total of Apple gift cards you have left over after the ATV purchase. Apple accounting charges you $125 for the 128gb ATV and $25 for the $25 Apple gift card. Side effect is it helps you pay a bit lower tax. A 7% tax rate on the ATV purchase at Apple adds $8 to the price or $158. (Again ignoring pennies to keep math simple.)

After 7% tax that leaves $42 left over in Apple gift cards (credit) plus the $25 Apple gift card received for the ATV purchase at Apple.com plus the $30 in Target gift cards.

***End result***

Pay: $190

Receive: $67 in Apple gift cards, $30 in Target cards and 1 128gb AppleTV 4k w/ethernet. (For 7% tax rate.)


YMMV on how valuable the gift cards are to you. For me they are like cash. I give Apple money every month as it is for cloud storage etc. And Target sells basic necessities.

Note: Feel free to use Amazon or Best Buy instead of Target as they are also running the same $100 Apple gift card promo last I checked.

I didn't know how quickly the $25 GC is received from Apple. Instantly or they take a few days to send it.

Oh, ..good question.

Apple says "Your gift card will be sent to your email address when qualifying products are shipped or ready for pickup. Gift card must be used on a future purchase."

Because the $99 model at Costco is the 64GB version not the 128GB version with Ethernet. Costco did sell the better version for like 1 hour before it sold out, same as last year.

The Target terms say "Limit one coupon/deal per Target Circle account" though.

You can buy more than one. I have. Many have. See the details in the SD thread on that deal. Might have to buy one today and 1 tomorrow online. Might be only a 12 hr wait. Maybe less. In store doesn't have limits iirc.

Also if you are running into a limit online and want to get the deal done today you can buy the 2nd $100 Apple Card from Amazon or Best Buy. And get a $15 Amazon or Best Buy card back. 5% points back with the respective store credit card.
