Update 12/5/20: This deal is now live. The discount doesn’t initially show on the gift card page, but you’ll see it taken off in your cart.
Update 2: It looks like you might need to load a digital coupon in your Target Circle account in order to get the discount, so I’ve added a link to that below. If that is indeed required to get the 10% discount, it makes it a lot more of a pain to scale this deal as it’ll require multiple accounts. Thanks to Jay and jsf416 in the comments for the heads up about this.
Update 12/2/20: Target has actually increased the limit this year from $300 to $500. Looks like the resale market will be getting even more flooded, but it certainly makes it easier to rack up even more spend.

Tips & Ideas
This is always a popular deal which is break even or profitable for many resellers. It’s nice that it’s a two day sale as it’ll give people more time to be able to scale this offer.
With regards to scaling this offer, be very careful when doing this. Target tries to keep a tight rein on this promotion and has zeroed out the balances of gift cards where they’ve identified cases of people exceeding the old $300 limit in the past. This is much more of an issue when ordering online due to accounts and billing addresses, but gift cards purchased in-store have also been zeroed out in the past. If buying in-store, it’s therefore safest to only use each credit card you own once, even if buying from a different store.
Some of the most rewarding cards to pay with (if not working on the minimum spend requirement of a new card) will be the following as they’re all offering 5% cashback this quarter:
- Discover It (Target.com only)
- Chase Freedom (Target.com only when checking out via PayPal)
- ABOC Platinum Rewards (both in-store and online)
Note that this deal doesn’t go live until December 5, so I’ll republish this post once it’s live.

Thanks both – I’ve added that to the post.
Target’s system will auto cancel any online orders going to Discover over $200. Wait until later to try
I placed an order for the full $450 earlier this morning using a Discover Card. No issues and fulfilled within minutes.
Somewhere there was a warning about the cards being redeemed/attached to the Target account. How is that avoided?
You can’t avoid it unless buying in-store. If buying online, if it’s the first time you’ve purchased a Target gift card then it’ll get attached. Well, one will get attached – if you’re buying 5x $100, only one will attach.
If you have a gift card attached to your account already, the other gift card(s) will show up in your account, but you can resell them as they aren’t actually attached. However, you have to be careful not to actually use them yourself in the future.
I just checked and the cards I bought with this offer don’t show up on my account.
Thanks. I hadn’t gone ahead with it because it sounded like a hassle.
