I ordered the first or 2nd day (forgot which).

Honestly a day is all it takes for stuff to get backed up/delayed.

And hopefully with the turnout this time Target sees this as a huge success and makes the next one not as far out.

I've never had a single sale preorder item from Target ship in a timely fashion. This is pretty much par for the course in my interactions with them involving the b2g1 preorder titles. Some of my in stock orders had a 10 day delay.

I just randomly had $21.78 added to my Circle balance. I keep getting random amounts added over again after using them on other orders. A few days ago it was $18 something. I waited a few hours and it went away. Well when I saw the $21 added I decided to place and order this time. What can target do if they accidentally give you circle earnings twice?

Did the other orders that you applied the Target Circle Earnings to include preorders? I think the Target Circle Earnings remain in your balance until the preorders ship and the earnings are actually applied to a payment -- if you use the balance now on something that ships immediately, those earnings won't be available whenever the preorder ships. At least that's my guess -- I applied $28 or so in earnings to an order that includes two preorders, yet my earnings balance briefly went from zero back up to around $29.

If your previous orders did include preorders, do you still see the Earnings applied to those orders in your order history? Removing them would change the agreed-upon transaction, so I'm not sure how Target handles this. I skimmed the terms and conditions page but didn't see anything about this scenario.

Doesn't contain pre-order items but the order hasn't shipped yet. And still shows the target circle reward added.

The order I placed just recently seems to be shipping out soon and won't let me cancel now so it'll be interesting to see what happens with the other order.

The circle reward isn't the exact same amount but I'm pretty sure part of it is the same reward.

It'll definitely be interesting to see! I assume Target won't let the earnings be redeemed twice, but I'm not sure how they regulate that. Keep us posted (or don't, if you found an exploitable quirk that might violate forum rules!).

No pre-orders.
All mine are June delivery dates.
I ordered a ton right when the sale went live then made more orders throughout the week.
All the day one orders are already received.

My best guess is they could remove the money from your Target Circle balance, making it negative. But I do not know that for sure. I've definitely had them remove $15 from my balance when I accidentally returned an order when helped me qualify for a bonus reward. They had given me the reward, and then took it away after my return. But your situation is a bit different...

Another take: Target saw that the only way to sell blurays is to have a sale where the margins are even thinner.

I'm really not sure what is actually being said in meetings about the books, CDs vinyl and blurays but there's been a constant inventory adjustment at all the big box stores and we see it weekly when we go in.

Again, Black Friday will be interesting this year. I thought last year it was going to be bad but Best Buy came through and Walmart less so even though they did have titles. Target was a complete bust.

Unlike previous years Walmart had a very neat section that was gone ASAP. No movies flung all over the place. They had less titles and almost didn't care about this area for BF. It was almost an attitude of let's get this over with.

ZSJL 4K for $10 was the BF jewel for Walmart.

I used my $20 Circle reward during the B2G1 sale and have seen it return two more times now, and I used it both times. None of the orders have shipped yet, but I'll circle back -- huh huh -- to report on the results.

Nice. So it's not just me. My one order arrives today. The other hasn't shipped yet

Are those $$$ Circle Rewards for spending a certain amount under the "bonus" tab on the Target Circle website or buried under the "Offers" tab? I looked during the last couple B2G1's and a couple other times, but haven't had any luck. Sorry in advance if it's a noob question. I haven't kept up with Target coupons closely since they switched from "Cartwheel."

From my logged in dropdown menu, I click on CIRCLE and am taken to this dashboard. This is where my $20 Circle Bonus reward would appear, but I spent it, so it shows Available Target Circle Earnings: $0.00

My copy of Massive Weight shipped and should arrive tomorrow. While The Bad Guys and After Yang still say will arrive Monday. While my copy of Fantastic Beasts 3 shipped already.

I should now have completed the target circle to get $15 back. I just placed the following for In Store Pick up tomorrow.

- $11.99

- $19.99

- $22.99

[therock666]

Anyone know if Firestarter remake blu-ray will be sold in stores?

[ThisIsJonny]

New Target Circle Offer:

Military Exclusive (not really)

10% off two in-store or online purchases beginning June 26th

Expires July 4th

[jkoffman]

I've noticed this in effect at Target more than any place else I've returned damaged items.

CNN: Just keep your returns: Stores weigh paying you not to bring back unwanted items

So instead of piling returned merchandise onto this growing inventory heap, stores are considering just handing customers their money back and letting them hang onto the stuff they don't want.

[Jennifer Lawrence Fan]

So I have 2 titles that say they are a estimated arrival tomorrow. Only problem is they haven't shipped. The Bad Guys BD and After Yang BD. I am afraid they might cancel those. If they cancel those. Will I still get the others I bought during the b2g1 sale at a discounted price or will it just be like I am buying them normally.

Also another question. Do the target circle rewards expire? I recently got a $15 target rewards after completing the buy 3 $50 worth of purchases.
