My Target in NJ did not have the cups included in the GC. Looks like I am the only one ( Went to 2 diff. Targets and no deal

They should issue you 2 gc’s if you purchase 10 of the items. I rang up 25 and it prompted the cashier to give me five 5$ gc’s.

I’m new to this so, If I buy 10 oatmeals in one transaction does that mean I can get 10.00 in the gift card?

I got my 5 on Tuesday and received my GC.. and I just went again today and bought 10 more and got 2 more GC’s! (They had just re-stocked.. there were plenty left!) I love my targets here in SoCal. They never ever give me any hassel.

I also found Baby Aveeno Sunblock on Clearance for $3.41 and I had a coupon for $2.00 off. But when I went to pay it rang up as $8.99. So off to Customer Service I went. The lady told me that the Clerance sticker was actually for the UP brand.. So I told her to please remove it. She said “no, you bought it”.. and adjusted down the price for me and gave me the difference in cash!!! Love Love my Target!!!

I tried to buy 10 of the brown sugar oatmeal cups today using 4 of the Quaker $1 coupons ( I was able to print 2 from each of our computers). The register did not prompt the cashier to issue a gift card at all. She actually tried reringing and doing some things to get around it, to no avail ( Target is not usually great on customer service so I was thankful for her help!).

I ended up going to customer service and returning the 10 cups. I tried and tried to explain to the girl that I had used $4 worth of coupons so she wouldn’t cheat the store but she still gave me the $10-something on a gift card. But they kept my coupons, so I guess I just “sold” some coupons essentially. =)

The cups at my store were priced .97 and did have a sign for the brown sugar variety only that told about the gift card deal. If I get to another store this week, I will see what the wording is on that sign — I betcha anything that it is only advertising the Quaker deal but that product is not included ( it is not listed in the write up in the ad). If so, VERY misleading!

If it does look like I can buy them, I will try buying 5 without a coupon and see what happens!

Glad some of you have gotten this deal to work!

I had a similar experience today. The individual oatmeal bowls are also 99 cents at my Target here in Front Royal, VA. There was a sign on the shelf stating the deal. I got five bowls and when checking out the computer did not prompt for the gift card. When I told the cashier there was supposed to be a gift card, he called someone to check, and what I had told her was verified. And then she actually QUESTIONED the supervisor and said “but these are only 99 cents each!” She then begrudgingly went to another register and got a gift card for me, but then claimed ‘the computer’ wouldn’t allow that gift card to be used towards the purchases on my next transaction. Grrr. I’m thankful I got it, though.

My Target wouldn’t price match the Quaker Oatmeal with Walgreens because it said 2/$5. It has to specifically say $2.50 or they won’t honor it. Pretty lame!

Sweet!!! I went to Target today and there were exactly 10 of the oatmeal cups left. I took them all…used 6 $1 off coupons….paid $4.20…..and recieved to $5 gift cards……can’t beat that!!!!

My Charlotte, NC Target would not honor the gift card even though there was a sign below that clearly stated that golden brown sugar easy express oatmeal was “buy five get a five $ gift certificate”. I talked to 2 managers and they wouldn’t budge, but they did take the sign down.

The stores are having absolutely no love for me this week. There was only 1 oatmeal on the shelf, and, by the way, it did not have the buy five, get $5 GC tag at my store – while all the other oatmeal products did. So, I’m not sure this would have worked at my store. Hmmmm….

mine worked just fine but only the brown sugar rung up with the gift card and they were $1.07 but 7 cents a piece still a really good deal I’m going back to another target tomorrow with 2 $1 off coupons so excited!!

Maybe the single serve cups count as the Quaker ready-to-eat cereals you listed?

The single serve oatmeals are not producing the gift cards. The manager at my store called and told them to take the sign down that said you would receive the gc with 5 purhases. She did not give me a gift card but I did 2 seperate transactions and she took the $5 off like a manu coupon so my 10 single serves only cost me $.20. So glad I got there before they took down the sign LOL

Ok after going to 3 Targets and 2 cities, I say, screw this deal! I give up! Im sick of Targets around here not having the same products at each store. The bigger one that was suppose to have these singles did not carry them either. Uuugh. One of the 4 total Targets of course was out! Did meet another follower though so that was cool although we both left empty handed.

im pretty sure they just took $5 off mine instead of giving me the gift card although I did get my $5 gift card for the healthy choice

By: Brandi

Brandi — Tue, 09 Feb 2010 02:01:20 +0000

Yippee! Just bought 10 for $1.02 each, plus used 10 of the $1 off coupons. Turned a profit of $9.80! I also got the Healthy Choice meals at the same time so obviously they didn’t refund me any money (nor would they have), but I walked out of the store with 10 packages of the oatmeal and 10 of the dinners for less than $5!

My Target was out of these and the cashier said someone had come about an hour earlier and got 25 at once. The register would only do the transaction one time to get a GC so the cashier had to ring her up with FIVE separate transactions. THAT is why we couponers get the eye rolls and foot tapping behind us during checkout. Not only were there none left for the rest of us but this cashier has now gone from someone that can appreciate a good deal to someone that dreads the couponer/deal shoppper. Good grief. Please respect the purchase limits.

Sheryl: Just remember, the person who cleared the shelf may have just taken the last five and not bought 50.

Just a FYI, they may not had “cleared” the shelf. There may have been several people that bought 5. I bought 5 earlier and a friend bought 5 and there was only 2 left. They may have done the same thing.
