This thread is being created so people -- generally, those people who can't seem to resist talking about off-topic junk in the Target coupon thread -- have a place to talk about shopping at Target and other miscellaneous matters.

All you folks who hang out in the Target coupon thread, start hanging out here instead! When you've got something relevant to post about Target coupons, please post about it in the Target coupon thread! We'd love to hear about it, but NOT about your dog, your cat, your mom, your genital herpes, your... well, you get the idea.

PMing you! Smilie

Finished my 2 day sale about 1 hour ago. Made $2500 after paying the sitter $100 and meals. Totally worth it, a little shy of my hopes but beautiful weather and some extra cash for the holidays, travel etc. woot
Whee Congrats!

Quote from Dec12Girl :

Laina - thanks for the heads-up .... that is weird!!!! Is it poss your cashier didn't know what he/she was doing?
Quote from Bronc :
That's not good news! Were you able to get a full refund?

Merde!
Quote from Sharon526 :
Sh*t! I just checked the Amex card I bought at Target and it's blank. I checked the Visa's and they both have money on them, so I guess it's just a Amex problem. I'm reallllllly glad I bought a f***ing $106 piece of plastic Mad

I found the receipt, but I threw out the outer packaging a while ago... It says on them you can't get a refund unless it's unopened... Wonder what I can do...
Okay, for those of you that need to know.... The Targets that sell the Amex are the only ones set up to activate them... No other T's can!!

I went to another T on my way home and went to CS. I had the receipts and each GC with the receipt. I told him that I had bought them and that they were showing zero and he had to confirm the GC # to the outer package ID # and then confirm that with the DCPI on the receipt... Then he called the 1 888 # , didn't know how to do that, so I called them, got a CS agent on the phone and then gave the phone back to him.

He told her that I had all the receipts and could match the GC # up with the T. receipt and that I had clearly paid for them, and she confirmed they were showing up zero and that it showed in her computer that they were indeed still on the shelve in a T store.

She asked him for their Merchant Amex #, and confirmed that "your store is not set up for activating the cards".

Thank goodness she was kind enough to say that she could activate them for me, after confirming with T that I had paid for them, but that it would take a day for them to be activated.. I jumped with joy and said that is fine!!!

So basically if you buy them where they aren't sold, the money just goes "poof" into Targets pockets...

Learned my lesson. nod

Sharon - Sending you a PM....

I hate when I leave q's behind. Frown I also hate trying to do/redo math in a store. Completely messes me up.

Congratulations on your sale - sounds like a great one. I did $420 at ours, which was way more than we anticipated, and we got rid of a ton of stuff! Feels great. We have to get a new tire tomorrow - ours will not hold air long. *sigh* Then we'll be paying down some of hubby's medical bills. Yay.




We don't have cat machines here either, and the only time I get a coupon on my receipt is if I pay with my debit card - which doesn't happen often (maybe 1-2 times a year!)

...gotta go finish reading...
Hey, congrats on your sale, too! I know all about the bills. As we were sitting there finishing up our sale, mailman came and there was a lovely urgent bill notice that half of our money is going toward. And then we have to get work done on the van before we can go on any sort of extended road trip, and then get money together for Thanksgiving. Just never ends, does it? But I am SO incredibly thankful for the ability to shop and use coupons and make a little money off it to help my family out.

And its really frustrating, because some of the stores in our area have the cat machines and others don't. So last week, I kept forgetting that this one store didn't have the machine and TWICE I bought Wii games there and didn't get the $5/$50 cat. Frown

Went to T, needed a DS game for a bday gift, so *had* to get 2 to use the q, right? Checked out in electronics, left happy.
Found the mouse gc last night at one store and a digital camera one today. But it was the only one left.
Found 3 packs of Bounty Halloween packs! Woohoo! 29 papertowels make me a happy mofo!
I'm curious about the DS, too! Now that the Wii sale is over, the coupons attach to every 2 games, right?

Finally got the Listerine gift card deal! Works out pretty sweet if you use the right combo of coupons. Need to buy more coupons now. Big Grin

And the 18-roll pack of Charmin is on sale this week for 9.99. Just saying... And its has over $15 in coupons inside.

The coupon attached to each two DS games when I bought some on Friday. At least it didn't beep INF like the Leapfrog Tag TQ.

WOW - you went thru A LOT of rigamarole!!!! I am sorry you had to do all that!!! Don't suppose you were told anything about their Visas ....

Thanks for the tip on Charmin as I definitely need some of that!!! It is AMAZING the amount of TP that we go thru with 7 people in this house!!! For those getting Charmin there is a $1.50 TQ off the purchase of Charmin & Bounty and there is a $1/2 MQ off Charmin ... plus you get whatever Q's are inside. Sounds like a good deal to me!!!

Could you let me know what the deal is on the listerine?

nod to the DS games. I found $1 TQ peelies on Charmin. Expire sometime next year.

and I just checked and the toy catalog that was mailed does have 2 extra pages of coupons to be used Dec 1-24. I wonder if those will beep if they are used now? Also, did you guys notice the Up coupon is not in the books?

Really? One local paper had the toy catalog today, the other paper did not. Mad Wonder if those are the same as the mailed catalog? I can't find the one I did get, my 7 yr old hid it away from the 2 yr old. laugh out loud

Ours is the other way around. The 2-yo likes to hide things from everyone, including the 7-yo, by dropping them btw the couch and the wall in the living room.

I haven't seen the remote control for days....Crying

We have one of those as well! This summer he lost the remote so well, we still haven't found it. I gave up and ordered one from the manufacturer because they used a private code so universal remotes didn't work. Frown

Glade Target coupon..? Confused
Instyle mag Q
Quote from smegalicious :
Just an assumption, but I *think* they might be referring to the Glade Fragrance Collection BOGO TQ that was in magazines awhile back.

I had the (rare) good luck to find one sitting on the shelf at one of my stores. When I used it, the TQ was coded to auto-deduct $10.99, regardless of the actual price of the candle. Cool
WAS being the keyword.
Quote from tmcws :
By "now" I assume you mean it used to be less smart? Annoyed I haven't had time to T lately and I have about 50 of those stupid things to use up.
Less smart as in, it groups the candles and autodeducts the price of one candle. Which is fine and dandy EXCEPT you can't use the raincheck along with it. One or the other. And if you try to use the raincheck first, it autodeducts 4.49 instead. And don't even think of trying it on other candles. Smart......very smart. And I was saving mine for black friday. Sadwalk

On another note.........Why is it that I have a lifetime supply of cleaning products and yet my house is so filthy?????????????????????

What is this Listerine GC deal we are speaking of? laugh out loud
I haven't seen anything posted in any of the stores. Is it on certain sizes, double packs, etc. can someone break it down barney style for me?

also, I saw on deals that someone reported a Maxwell House 5.00 gc wyb three. Anyone else tried it?
