Same - except my 5% bday coupon expires 02-Oct. Doh!

As OP for the Target & Walmart threads here, I continually find it frustrating (especially Target) to not see movie deals...

At least Walmart still carries (some) new releases, and bins (even just DVD).


Just an old member ranting.

Or, vice versa.

[HorrorBlu]

If this is for their October Circle Week or whatever like last year, they sent out 15% coupons that stacked with the deal (instead of B2G1 last year, it was 20% off books and movies during the first week of October).

That said, they didn't start sending out those 15% until around Tuesday of that week. Waiting runs the risk of sell-outs or pre-orders becoming ineligible, but just something to keep in mind. No promises.

Target and walmart have been countering amazon's prime day's for several years. A week or so after amazon makes their announcement, walmart and target makes theirs. Amazon seems to be trying to steal their black friday thunder by having a pre-holiday promo. As always, the real question remains whether or not every deal is their legit best, or if they're just trying to get people to jump early at slightly higher prices than what they'll be offered at in late Nov. For media, target's deal will be as legit as their B2G1 promos ever are. Though, select titles could still see even lower door-buster-level pricing later on. Though, I fear UHDs won't be as plentiful now that BB won't be participating, and studios seem intent on milking 4K as a premium option. If last prime day is any indication, the best media deals from walmart may be from gruv and pleaserewind, which could be even better through gruv's own site or their ebay stores, where they also have multi-buy coupons, should the pricing be the same.

I am in my local Target right now and they have done their media reset since last weekend; and I am sad to say there are no movies at all in the store. Their usual book reset for the holidays and has taken everything out. The music section has expanded into the 8 feet it shared with movies and the last endcap and 4 sided fixture are all books. I feel that if there is going to be movies during the holidays they will be on shippers. A sad day.

Damn. I was just in Target today, and didn't notice any movies, but I wasn't specifically looking for them. I just assumed they got moved. Now I'm betting they were gone... Well, hopefully online it will continue for a long time, especially with the B2G1F sale...

I'd like to believe that, but I do think Target is probably the next one to drop movies. Given the niche crowd that buys films (us) and that more/more buyers are collectors, I doubt Target makes much, and having to deal with returns and complaints over even minor issues, you have to think Target will eventually reach the point of just saying, "It's not worth the hassle."

I wonder if they keep track of customers who activate their bonus and don't get it, or customers who don't bother to activate it.

This is the kind of offer I'd rather have, instead of the spend X amount 4 times to get XX amount. Between the wife and I, we'd spend enough to get that $400. Target's site hasn't been carrying some of the BD's I want, so I usually end up just getting iTunes/Hulu/Netflix gift cards and the odd grocery purchase.

Got excited for a moment, got a $15 off $100 that expires Oct 5 plus a 5% that expires Oct 20, then I realized BOGO doesn't start until Oct 6. Hopefully they will give me something better.

[DanTheMan]

$5 off $40 in-store or online purchase for me. Exp. 10/5

[Marcus Carr]

Got a new offer.

Target Circle
10% off

Tech, Toys, Sports & Entertainment

Limit 1-time use · Expires October 5th

[JGCramp]

I didn't even get a bonus offer this time (which, by the way, is the best one I've gotten in months).

I got both of these bonuses! I may use them to pre-order the Frank Capra set, since I'm highly unlikely to find two other titles at the $176 price point to maximize next week's B2G1 sale (and that's assuming this title will even be included in that sale, since pre-orders are always hit-or-miss).

[bornthisway]

I used the $15 off $100, 10% Tech/Toys etc. and 5% on Redcard for Columbia Classics Volume 5

$136.02 total

My local stores (not sure if just some or all) have done this too. However, I did notice their website still says they have stock of a number of new release titles. I was looking for one and asked and they said their stock was in the back which they went and got for me. I can't imagine this is the new normal by any means (might just be until they stop even getting new releases/promo displays) but at least for now, you may want to check the website/app to see if the store shows stock and ask an employee to get it for you.

In my local store the ONLY disc based media (which was not the small handful of K-pop titles) was the cardboard promo display for Despicable Me 4 that was sitting in the main aisle outside of the book section, which also had a couple of other animated titles that they backfilled it with.

Target is giving me more offers:

- $10 off $70 or more (again)
- 10% off tech, toys & sports

I will be using both.

I got the $10 off $70 or more. The last time I got this offer it was $10 off $60. The offer also expires the day before the b2g1 sale of course

[mannam23]

Well, one of my Targets has gotten rid of ALL movies now. They didn't even keep the small section or the endcap. I assume all the other Targets will follow. I really don't understand why all movies have to be eliminated. First Best Buy, now Target. I guess stupidity reigns supreme in our post-covid world.
