Welcome to the Target Chat thread. This thread is for everyone, and is for off topic chat. Which more often than not pertains to poop LMAO

Slickdeals.net does not condone discussions of how to perform, elude capture or profit from unethical and perhaps illegal activities.

Brought over from deals to discuss:

That's what I'm wondering as well. Guess they don't realize how many people have multiple computers.
Bricks to me would be a nightmare, as too many people copy them and use them over and over and over, just not at the same transaction. The trainee's trainee was doing this and we put a stop to it quickly.
With all the newbs that have come out of the woodwork, look at just how many newbs posted crying that their mpps were gone and I'm sure there are hundreds (thousands) more that used the thread for their benefit and were just lurkers.

That is really weird. I don't have an answer - sorry. Frown

ETA:

Maybe it's supposed to be coming up "expired" or something - like an early update? Was it close to closing time? Or, if they are working on the programming - maybe it's just messed up.
I wondered that as well except someone else posted that it happened with the C9 that expires 9/11. Frown

I was surprised that people copy Bricks and yet still are able to print. Wink

With school computer rooms (50+ in one room), you'd never know who printed the first Q to start with.

The Trainee's trainee was going to the library, just in case the IP was ever shut down. Smart, almost too smart.

Never even thought of that! It's like printing from the library.

LTL7, I posted about this in the deals thread but thought I would ask here. Dh went to T for a few more clearance shirts and the $3 TQ came up invalid. What exactly does invalid mean? Is that set by programmers at corporate or is it something each store has control over? It wouldn't even work for shirts that were $7.48.
IIRC, they make the cpn to come up invalid when they want to stop the use of that cpn...But what confuses me is what happened to T all of a sudden..They fixed the C9 and it has been there for quite some time now...Why code it as "invalid" now..shake head

I know, and why make a coupon invalid that was expiring today anyway? And I had used it just 2 hours earlier at another store, no problem.

Could it be that it is upto each store to decide when to implement the upgrades sent by corporate..Confused

I emailed a real estate agent that a friend used.... she responded with leetspeak - "R" "U" etc.... no farking way. Deleted that email like it had a virus.

Great, off to read deals thread about all this Q invalid crapola.... went to a ST twice in past few days just to *try* to use some food TQs... I say *try* because the register is only letting 2 of each TQ be scanned..... third one comes up "Limit one coupon per guest" or something like that. Why not only one then? Why 2? Annoyed If/when this one spreads, T'ing is over... Censored

No offense to anyone, except for a few short cuts (lol, tq, mq) I think it's annoying to see adults using text speak. Sure English is a changing language but geez it doesn't reflect well imo. And yeah, what's with the one per coupon but allowing two? laugh out loud

I guess I'm thinking that unique numbers are next and the rule that if your printable TQ doesn't have a number, you can't use the printable TQ period (thus everything already printed wouldn't be any good). Unique numbers are fine with me, provided they leave them on ecentive Wink but I would be Crying for the C9, as today is the first time I've ever used it.

Where's my crystal ball?

You're right- a few shortcuts are fine...but is "you" really that long of a word that it needs to be shortened? I only do that on Twitter if I've run out of characters!

You could be right. The manager at the store dh was at told him it was an invalid tq because it didn't have any unique numbers. Whether the man was confusing tq with coupons.com or smartsource mq, or whether he knows something that hasn't been announce to Target shoppers, well guess we'll know soon. Of course, he was also accused of copying the coupons. We all know how that song goes.
