Hi All, I ordered some items on Target.com recently where you would receive a $5 emailed gift card. Upon them sending the gift card I was charged $5 on my credit card for both orders where I ordered items that received the promo gift cards. Beware and check your credit card statements. I have put in an inquiry to Target but not heard back as of yet.

They have in fact had hundreds of inquiries because of it ( I have a friend who works there) and thy still don't see the wisdom of changing it.

Thanks for being my venting buddy tonight. I literally can't sleep tonight because my mind is racing over this.

I know this is an old thread, but I have just noticed the same thing. I am considering boycotting Target and their red card. It isn't right that they would charge you for the free gift cards they promised for buying said items. I am extremely irritated over the whole idea of it. After reading your comment I'm not sure if i even want to waste time talking to them about it.
For example say it's buy 3, get a $5 gift
Item 1 $4.99- $1.67 = $3.32
Item 2 $4.99- $1.67 = $3.32
Item 3 $4.99 - $1.66 = $3.33
Subtotal of items would be $14.97
Subtotal after discount $9.97
Gift card value $5
So subtotal after discount + gift card value = $14.97 original
You are charged the same price whether you got the gc or not just how the math works out is different.
