Target General Deals Thread

[xxnomad]

Hoping it's okay to ask a question for the pros here who know more than Target customer service...when using a Target red circle debit/credit on a pre-order item, when do they charge? I know they charge when the item ships when using a regular credit/debit card, but I can't find anything on their FAQ when using a red card.

They charge once it ships, so beware that you might see the charge a few days before release date as they prepare the shipping.

I've actually received pre-order shipments early (Monday) before the charge finalized on my Red Card (Wednesday).

Good Luck, XX Nomad!

If the price of those Beats Solo 3 headphones are a representation of the deals during Circle Week, it's going to be a bust.

If there's an official delay, I'm sure everyone will see it.

I have it pre-ordered there as well. Target's page says street date of 8/11/23 and that it's Out of Stock. Wouldn't mind the cancelation if I hadn't ordered it with 20% off coupon months ago. Can't even ask to have it fixed as it won't allow a purchase atm.

I checked Cujo 4K as well and it's the same street date and unavailability. Not sure what's happening, but appears to happened to both movies. I also had to google search directly into both pages as Target didn't pull up either movie through the site's search engine.

I did a search for Kino and it looks like there are no longer any pre-orders available. The 4 I had cancelled were at a good price, which sucks, but I wonder if this has anything to do with Ingram going out of business.

That massive WHO’s Next Life House box was delivered to me on Friday, the day of release, no issues. Was in a box with foam lined around the box. I think that’s how Universal sends them out to the retailers.

I am a massive fan of The Who, but 10 discs of Who's Next material is overkill for me.
I am gonna just get the 2 cd set, I call that a bargain at $19.99

Who's Next is just perfect as is, I still prefer my old 80s cd pressing, over the 1995 remix.

It was overpriced for sure but does include 2 hardback books and two live shows.

A lot of the demos and outtakes have already been released.

To give you an idea on how smart the packaging is, the CDs are in cardboard sleeves and the inside fold is at the top which is label side and won’t put a line or leak glue on the play side.

Unlike the Criterion Godzilla package where the discs are not in sleeves and glue got on the play side on some of the discs requiring replacement.

We all hate the slipping in and out of discs from slits which can leave small marks on the disc.

Geez! Folks around here are crazy.

My collection is much larger than it would be otherwise *because* I wait for sales and good deals. I only have so much expendable income, so I have to spend it wisely. A few dollars saved here and there adds up over many years and hundreds of Blu-rays (thousands for some of you guys!).

Just noticed you own close to 5,000 Blu-rays. Holy moly, man. If you saved $2 more each on just a quarter of the titles in your collection, that's $2,400 you could have spent on more movies, a new TV, a nice couch, whatever. But if you don't need to worry about saving here and there, that's awesome. Some of us do, though.

Everything you said, plus waiting for sales is part of the fun of this hobby. If I could just buy everything I wanted whenever I wanted it would take away a big part of the “thrill of the hunt”.

You're right, it wont let me change mine either now if I wanted to.. It worked no problem a few years ago when I did it so I don't have any real answers. Customer service is sadly always a toss up on what kind of help you'll receive so i'd say try one more time or just call that number and i'm sure they'll help you out as long as you haven't tried to change it a bunch of times.

I'm just leaving Target now. They still have movies at the moment. They just removed the area for the new releases and put them on the side. Where the new releases are they have vinyls and cds. Plus they used to have 2 back end caps of movies. Now it's 1. They replaced the other with more books!

But I guess I should be grateful they still have movies for the time being.

Same happened at my store. Movies have been put back on shelves, but basically one side only. It's the bare minimum, but it'll have to do.

Also... this is literally called the deals forum. A place to look... for deals. Kind of the wrong place to make such a comment.

Although I agree Target.com may not be worth waiting for - even if we knew for sure a sale would be scheduled. Their B2G1 sales were great for picking out niche label stuff a few years ago, maybe TOO great. Hell when music was included I was even using them to get a few box sets i wanted. Last few sales they've been more of a pain in the ass with things selling out quickly or just not being there at all

Basically that's how all retailers used to look when they had full movie sections. Even the big box stores (although I think Target and Wal-mart maybe were never fully fully stocked, whereas at one point even Best Buy had most releases that came out - and all arranged by genre). It wasn't even THAT long ago LOL. Certainly well into the blu-ray era. After the 2010's is when they started going to sh$% to varying degrees.

Got a "Make 1 qualifying purchase of $150 or more to earn a $20 reward" for Circle Week.

Also got a "10% off One In-store or Online Purchase."

Personally I would say wait if you have other stuff you want that’s out of stock and you’re not worried about what you’re looking at going out of stock. You need to keep options open to realistically take advantage of the buy 2 get one sales.

[HorrorBlu]

Only one item is eligible in my cart anyway, and it's a book. Oh well.

[HorrorBlu]

Was poking around in the app. I got $10 off $75+, and a storewide 15% one purchase.

That said, it appears the 15% off does not stack with the 20% books and movies.

Mine too. I may never go back. Probably won't.

[1080irony]

I have a Spend $135 Earn $15. I know this has been answered somewhere before, but is that threshold before or after discounts?
