Making sure we're on the same page, this is the offer I get:
Target Circle™ Bonus
Earn a $10 reward
Make 1 qualifying purchase of $70 or more to earn $10 in Target Circle Rewards.
Expires April 13, 2024

You don't earn the reward until you've purchased/picked up the order in store, or the items have shipped.

Under the Terms & Conditions, these are some relevant details:

A pre-ordered item is eligible only if it is shipped during the bonus period.
Online, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup and Drive Up purchases are eligible when the order is placed within the bonus period, but credit for the purchase isn’t received until the items ship or are ready for pickup, respectively.

Under the Terms & Conditions, these are some relevant details:

For example, I tested $70 worth of music (CDs & vinyl). Upon checkout, there is no mention of a $10 reward. This is just one example of what I tried.

I’m not sure what qualifies for the $10 reward. I’m lost.

FYI: I tested the $15 reward for $50 household essentials and there is a mention of the gift card @ checkout.

Make sure you have activated the reward (clip it like a coupon), and then place an order for $70+. You will not see it mentioned at checkout. $70+ worth of items in the order must be in-stock and shipped before the end of the coupon period (this week). In other words, avoid pre-orders.

Once your items ship, you will get $10 in points added to your Circle account for use on a later purchase.

As many orders as you want. Not everything is eligible though. Make sure it shows on the item page

This is a very common Target offer, but not the kind that shows up in your cart. It has a progress graph that advances as your qualifying items are purchased/shipped. This was my previous one, but of course shows full and completed:

You can click on the View Details link for the offer and get the FAQs plus full Terms & Conditions:

[Show spoiler]

A “qualifying purchase” is a purchase transaction that is made after you activate the Target Circle Bonus, meets the stated minimum purchase threshold and excludes all items that do not earn Target Circle Rewards. Purchases made with a credit or debit Target Circle™ Card are eligible for these bonuses. A pre-ordered item is eligible only if it is shipped during the bonus period. Online, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup and Drive Up purchases are eligible when the order is placed within the bonus period, but credit for the purchase isn’t received until the items ship or are ready for pickup, respectively. The minimum purchase threshold is calculated before other discounts (other than Target Circle Deals and sale prices) and taxes are applied. Except for online orders that include Target Plus™ items or use the Same Day Delivery service, an online order qualifies as one purchase transaction even if items in the order are delivered or picked up separately. An online order containing Target Plus items from multiple sellers qualify as separate purchase transactions. An online order that has both Target Plus items and Target.com items qualify as separate purchase transactions, and each transaction must independently meet the qualifying purchase requirement to be eligible for the Target Circle Bonus. In an online order that uses the Same Day Delivery service, the Same Day Delivery items qualify as a separate purchase transaction. Purchases that are returned, reversed or cancelled may cause the purchase transaction to no longer qualify for this bonus or may result in the Target Circle Bonus reward being removed from your Target Circle Rewards.

These bonuses are valid only for the fully enrolled Target Circle member who received this bonus and cannot be shared, copied or transferred. Valid from the time the bonus is activated through 11:59 PM (PT) on the expiration date. Limit one Target Circle Bonus reward per Target Circle member per bonus. You must be a member of Target Circle during the entire offer period to participate. All other terms of the Target Circle Program Rules remain in effect, including the circumstances in which Target Circle Rewards expire. Visit https://www.target.com/c/terms-condi...N-4sr7l#circle for additional details.

What is a qualifying purchase?
A “qualifying purchase” is a purchase made after you activate the offer that meets the minimum purchase threshold. Your purchase qualifies after automatic Target Circle deals are applied but before other discounts and coupons. Taxes, fees, and tips do not count toward the minimum purchase.

I had the $10 dollars as well. Pre-orders don't work. You aren't technically purchasing a pre-order item as it doesn't count until it ships or picked up. I was able to get mine to work with a movie that was already released and 2 pre-order items.

Coupon is clipped with the green bonus activated check mark. Also, the items that I did was for store pick up. I tried various items from food, toys, garden, movies and more.

None of those items qualify.

Again. It is not a $10 discount on your purchase.

It is $10 in rewards aka store credit after your purchase or all items have shipped before the expiration date of the offer.

You will not see it in any checkout or order confirmation page. To track this offer, you go to your wallet on the website or app. Then click on the offer after completing the purchase.

Once the offer is completed, you can use the $10 for more purchases.

Got very lucky to have a spend $100 and earn $15 plus 15% off one time. The Scream 4K 3-movie collection went from $47.99 to $27.19. Planet Earth 3 4K $29.99 -> $16.99. IMAX Journey to Space 4K 3D $14.29 -> $8.10. I bought Journey to Space from Best Buy last week for $10, I'll be returning it. The Scream collection was bought from Amazon last month for $37, I'll be returning that too.

This is a "Target Circle™ Bonus" vs the "Target Circle Deal: $15 Target GiftCard with $50 home care purchase" you're referencing. Since you didn't seem to acknowledge what myself and others have told you, all I can do is repeat what I told you.

You don't earn the reward until you've purchased/picked up the order in store, or the items have shipped.

This is a very common Target offer, but not the kind that shows up in your cart.

Grabbed a $50 and $25 third party gift card and can confirm those still qualify for the Spend $x Get $y promos. Also got a $5 Target gift card from the $50 purchase; love getting free money for buying things I was going to get anyway plus saving 5% with Red card

Well, that's certainly not supposed to happen based on Target's policy on those promos. Was it in-store? I've never heard of the 5% working on a gift card. It's never worked for me.

Fairly certain target 5% off 3rd party giftcards when using a redcard has always been a thing

What type of giftcard were you trying to buy and didn't get 5% off? Doesn't work on Target giftcards themselves.

Hmmm ... it's been a while but it was a non-Target giftcard and in-store. Good to know it works now. That said, pretty sure the policy states that giftcard buys aren't eligible for Target Circle bonuses as I just read it to make sure my purchases would work.

[Diesel]

I’ve never tried in store that I remember but don’t see why it would be any different. I’ve purchased a large number of third party gift cards and always get the 5% off. It’s just Target gift cards that don’t get the 5% off or qualify for promos.

Question about the Regal gift cards. Can you add them to your account on the regal app and use them to pay for Regal Unlimited payments? It's $21.99 a month. That cover 2 months and have $8 for whatever else.

Good question there. However, I know for AMC the gift cards aren’t applicable towards A-List monthly subscription charges. So I imagine it’s the same answer for Regal, sadly.

Yes, you absolutely can use gift cards to pay for Regal Unlimited. I've been doing it for years. It can be annoying at times when it mistakenly charges a credit card even when you have a gift card balance, but you can usually get it reversed and sign up again by contacting them through social media. I've used Facebook for that purpose, and they usually respond within a day.

They have a convoluted system whereby the gift card needs to be checked to be used. And over the years, gift cards have magically become unchecked on their own. Just keep an eye out. But definitely do buy gift cards for Unlimited if you're going to subscribe.
