Gelddings are male horses that have been "fixed".
Filly's are female horses that are not yet old enough to breed.
Mares are females that are able to breed.
My parents have horses.
I wear a 34DD so they are very hard to find and in the past have been limited to more expensive brands. At least now I don't sob when a bra finally falls apart. Its also really nice to be able to buy some that are actually pretty, and silky, and lacy.
I went in to do the pantene deal this afternoon.While I handed the TQ to the cashier, another cashier went to her to whisper something. My cashier said, yes, I checked the expiration date. Then when I handed her the MFC, she called over the LOD. She then told the LOD that the pantene TQ took off more than the real price. The LOD told her to adjust the coupon to the actually price. It's ok. But it took forever for her to check the price for all the pantenes. I have a fussy baby and my DH is waiting for me. So my DH told them to void the whole transaction and we just left. On the way out, DH told me that another cashier behind my cashier said something like "she is one of the suspect". Suspect of what? I have no way to know. But well, I guess I finally have to stay away.
I ask this because im beginning to get paranoid regarding coupon usage and returning. I was returning some toys at target the other day, and of course the message came up after 2 toys were scanned "Call for approval code". In the beginning, I assumed this came up when a large quantity of the same item started being returned in a short period of time throughout the various targets. After a while, I came to a pretty safe conclusion that the message also appears when you return an item that actually costs MORE than you paid AFTER coupons. Now im thinking it comes up after the 2nd item returned. Moving foward - so the message came up, and I dont know why I just didnt say "nevermind, just return the two toys, ill keep the rest". Anyhow she was on hold, and she asked me if the coupons were on the toys and of course I said no, and that was the end of that. Then another target employee walked by the desk, and said "oh the coupon thing". Then while she was talking to the rep on the phone, she said "yes theres coupons on it, but it doesnt say, just says "store coupon" $5, $10, $8, etc". I wasnt worried about this part. Eventually she said "Hes in the CAMERA room". To this moment, I still can't figure out if that was a bad indication or not. The other weird thing is I paid with Cash, but the lady said she was going to give me about half in cash, and half in giftcard. Strange as well. Can they rig the giftcard serial number and track wehre I use it? Isn't that a little far fetched Hah. My GC must be tainted and I must sell it! or Get rid of it!
In any case, this was a target FAR away from my home. I'm wondering if one Target communicates with the other and if they look at the surveilance tapes of the certain target I shopped at. Im pretty sure that they have the location of where I purchased the items (I purchased them at a different target nearby) so would they go through all the trouble to catch "the coupon bandit"?
*Sigh*
Anyhow im going back to target... near home. See what happens. Someone said stay away from the $10 ETQs since they are bait for Target. So I'mma try not to. Thanks

I don't think you'll get much advice about doing that here since I haven't read about any of the regulars doing it.

With that said, the message came up because your return total was higher than your AC total. That happened to me once when I couldn't find my receipt. I had used my cc, so they pulled my receipt up by that. This was a run when I just started using q's there and I TOTALLY forgot that my OOP was lower than the price of the 2 toys I was returning. Had I remembered, I would've just returned one of them.
That same return, they gave me half back on my cc and the other half in gift card. I just figured they gave me back the amount I actually paid in the first place, AC's, and the rest they put on the gc so I would have to spend it back in the store. They also told me they would be watching my transactions in the future! They can't rig the card, to track you. They didn't have any of your info. to begin with.

yes the call was for approval because u went below ur oop total. DONT DO THIS!! it is return fraud! i mean on accident... but dont do it more than once!!
I was talking to a close friend and they do not even have a budget let alone a target budget ....... I allow only 50 $ a month for Target, but that means also that if I spend less one month I can roll over to the next month.
Which is a great system because some weeks the deals and or coupons do not justify shopping ......
My dh is a disabled vet and we own a small business , so a budget is a must plus I was raised to plan/budget. You get more sleep at night that way

Stay legit, follow the rules, and work your deals. If you are doing nothing wrong then let them waste their time watching out for the "suspects"
There is nothing they can do to you as long as you are doing everything by the book.
Just want to mention to anyone that has rediculous amounts of Pantene, as I do, to look into donating some of it to a Women's Shelter (or any kind of shelter). I just found out that there is shelter near my job so I am thrilled to unload some of it there
Bronc - I knew you were a dude!
