My Target High Noon just arrived today.

Of course, one of the discs was loose in the case.

Woohoo.

I got spend $280, get a $30 bonus. That's a little better percentage than yours but what the **** do they think I'm going to spend $280 on?

That’s the one I had too. Used it with grocery purchase the other day.

[JudgeJuryExecutioner]

I don’t get those offers anymore. My latest bonus offer is (I kid you not):

Subscribe to Target Circle 360 for $49 for the first year and get a free bouquet of flowers.

Same. Looking forward to those flowers. (Just kidding).

I got a "spend $400 to get a $40" (by May 18th!) bonus. This just might be my limit for spending to get a bonus. So I started off by getting 3 movies and a 20-pack of AAA batteries (Firestick remotes REALLY suck up batteries!). Probably get 3 $100 iTunes gift cards to round out the $400.

[FlamedLiquid]

No offers for me. Ah well

A suit? A TV? A week's worth of groceries for a family? If you're in the market for something in that price range, $30 off is better than a sharp stick in the eye.

Do video game consoles count?

My bonus is a bouquet of flowers for signing up with Circle 360.

First of all, I'm 77 and there's just my wife and me. And we've got plenty of TVs.

I've actually earned some bonuses with purchases that were mostly groceries and household goods. But they had to come with other special deals on these items like percentages off (earlier this year I had a 20% storewide discount that was supposed to be one-time use and they gave me three orders before it was cut off) or Target gift cards (such as a $15 GC for purchasing $50 of household items).

On my biggest order I ordered $550 before discount, got discounts totaling $202 and also got $35 in Target GCs. I had nine separate discount deals including the 5% Circle discount and my birthday 5% discount. Target coupon stacking is wonderful (although I think lately they have cut down on what's allowed).

But now I'm kind of ahead on nonperishable cleaning and paper products and Diet Dr Pepper (and some other stuff) has a long shelf life.

Anyway, there are a lot fewer good deals and discounts lately and spending $280 to get $30 is simply not worth it for stuff without good discounts and of which I still have enough to last me awhile.

So admittedly, part of this is because I don't need much of these items right now but also the Target deals are not very good at present. Much of it I can get as cheap or cheaper at Costco or Woodman's (our regional big supermarket chain), even if I get $30 off $280 at Target.

[VictoryAtNight]

I didn’t get any offer of, spend an X amount and get an X bonus.

It might be a good thing because I spent a lot the past 30-days @ Target. I need a break anyway.

I’m interested in that Star Wars Outlaws Steelbook. $70 for a pre-order. I have till the end of August to make a decision. Plenty of time.

Dune 2 blu-ray (not 4K) release in the corner, no Target exclusive.

I realize this is apples and oranges when we compare Taylor Swift to any other performer...but I was shocked that vinyl accounted for 859,000 sales of Swift's latest “TTPD”.

I assume that's why Target feels like vinyl has a chance for sales. An interesting question would be how many of those Swift vinyl sales customers actually have a turntable? Or just collectors/completists?

If they have turntables, than there's a decent chance that vinyl would be a draw for those fans.

I preordered Once Upon a Time in the West but after early reviews, seems like it might not be worth it. I am wanting to either price match Amz’s current $30 price or possibly cancel.

Every purchase or Preorder from Target will generate a "Get ready for something special! An item from order #xxxxxxxxxxxxx is about to ship" email just before they send it off to you. That email will have the actual price that they charged on the item that is shipping, after all the discounts and rebates are applied.

Lots of vinyl buyers are collectors who never play them even if they own a turntable.

Target’s gone strong in the vinyl and music game. Lots of Target exclusives, sometimes with multiple editions of a single title.

I am not a collector then. I only buy things I intend to enjoy (watch, listen, etc.). Just to buy something just because it is a collectible and never enjoy what made it special? not my cup of tea. I do know collectors who do this - I just can't relate to them.
