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.

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

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.

It still comes out behind the 20% PayPal offer, because you can get a little bit more through CB sites and CC rewards stacking on top of the 20% from PayPal.
Would be a killer deal if there were a way to combine PayPal 20% with the Apple GC deals, but looks like every retailer only lets you buy 1 GC in a single transaction.
