    Can I use in store credit to purchase these? I have $50 store credit and would love to buy two $25 GC to give out to my nieces! TIA

      I have used Target gift cards to buy Target gift cards in the past, so it does work–I just don’t know if they’ll let you do it for this particular promotion. I guess we can try it and see.

    • Cathy

      I was able to use $5 gift cards from store promotions (the buy 4, get $5 gift card deals, etc.) to purchase a gift card during last years similar promotion. I just wanted to only have 1 card in my wallet so it was nice.

      • LeaLea

        You won’t get 5% off Target gift card purchases. Many of the others are considered entertainment cards and you would on those. Hope that helps.

        If u ever want to consolidate all ur $5 gc at target, go to customer service. I had about 10 and was doing a return. The girl noticed and asked if i wanted them on one card. I said yes. It took her just a few minutes. So nice!

  2. NV

    Thank you for the post!! I was hoping they would do this again this year! 🙂

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

    Are you sure I’ll save 5% with Target Red card? It never gave me any discount on gift cards, though I always buy with my RED card!

    • Donna

      I bought gift cards the other day from target and used my red card and it deducted 5%.

    • Helen

      No, I do not think you get the Redcard discount on GC purchases as it is not a true merchandise sale. Which is also why you do not pay sales tax on GCs. Only at the time of sale/ redemption and only on the amount after using the GCs.

    • Katie

      I’ve bought a handful of giftcards from Target and gotten the 5% off this holiday season.

    • sf

      I just bought a 25 dollar target gift card today and used my target debit card and it did not deduct 5% off.

      • Kim

        Same here. I just purchased a target gift card last week using target debit card and it didn’t deduct anything :/

        • Brandy

          You can only receive 5% off NON-Target gift cards when you pay with your REDcard. I do this year-round to purchase SW Air & Disney gift cards for vacation and iTunes, Olive Garden & Texas Roadhouse gift cards.
          If you sign up for the Pharmacy Rewards program, you’ll receive a 5% off coupon after every 10 prescriptions filled. The coupon can be combined with the REDcard 5% for 10% off your total purchase (except Target gift cards). This is how I pay for Disney World each year 🙂

    • Shannon

      I work at Target, and know for a fact you will not get your 5% off when buying a gift card. I’ve had many people try it.

  4. Jen

    Can you use a target gift card to purchase another gift card? Like an apple gift card for an example! Thanks for your help

    • Ph

      Yes

    • Brandy

      Yes, I received a Target gift card as a Bonus to my H&R Tax Refund this year. Then I used the Target gift card to purchase iTunes & Disney gift cards

  5. Lydia R

    I never get my Redcard 5% discount when I buy gift cards 🙁

  6. LindaK

    Yeah! Is the sale all day? Thanks so much!

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      Yes. On Sunday 🙂

  7. Prats

    Silly question
    Can I use my paypal to buy gift cards at target.com

    • Jessica

      Yes

  8. Caryn

    Yay – thank you – was totally hoping for this again 🙂 woohoo

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

      • Dana

        You won’t save the 5% in addition, right? I don’t see how that would work

        • Caryn

          I don’t think you save the 5% on gift cards

  9. eyez1998

    Yay. Been waiting on this. THANK U

  10. Laura

    I bought 8 gift cards today ($10 each). Do you think they would take them back so I could re-buy them on Sunday? I’d love to get that discount!
    👍🏻 Also, I don’t know if they took the 5% off from my red card but that would be awesome if they do that!

    • mel

      Gift cards are final sales. CS might work with you to maybe do a missed coupon by manually figuring the discount to refund. Good luck.

      • Pat

        I know it’s late in the day, but for anyone who still hasn’t done this deal, I thought I’d mention that you can get an additional 2% if you go through Ebates.
        I bought a $300 card for $270 and will get another $5.40 back.
        Every little bit counts!

    • Julie

      You could use them to purchase new cards

    • Brandy

      I’ve returned gift cards to Target. The CSR said they accept them as returns as long as they haven’t been used at all. Fandango are the only ones that have us trouble.

  11. Lau

    Bummer for me! I just bought four today😩. Wonder if I could get a credit adjustment ?

  12. Tia

    Too late for me this year. I got 3 of these for teacher’s gifts last year but last day before break is tomorrow.

  13. Laura

    I’m wondering the same thing Lau!

    • Katya

      Why not rebuy new cards using the old gift cards 🙂

  14. Sarah C

    Ooh this IS a great way to combine all those $5/$10 gc I have…gets an extra 15% WOOWHO! Thanks Collin, I was literally about to order w some after I caught up on your App!!! ❤️

    • Mama Mia

      I have 15% off from college registry. Will I be able to use with this gift card deal????

  15. Gina

    I wonder how long these take to ship? It seems like it may be cutting it close to Christmas….Does anyone know?

  16. Lori

    Yay! Hope you post a reminder on Sunday!

  17. Katrina

    The extra 5% off with Redcard doesn’t work on Target gift cards. It does work with other gift cards, which are classified as entertainment cards.

  18. Brenda

    Thank you so much for the heads up, this is s great deal

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You are so welcome Brenda!

  19. Chrystal Page Bachmann

    The extra 5% redcard discount only applies to gift cards OTHER than Target ones. It will not give you an additional 5% off Target cards, but will on all other ones (chick fil a, regal, etc). 🙂

  20. eyez1998

    Last year the deal was available in store as well

  21. marcy

    Then you’re really only getting an extra 5% off then. If I use my redcard at checkout at Target for an everyday purchase, I get 5% off my purchase, however, if you buy these target GF’s while you get 10% off, you’re only gaining 5%…good, but only 5% more since you don’t get the additional 5% when BUYING with your redcard. Am I right?

    • Cbeths

      Sounds correct to me.

    • E

      Nope. You get 10% off when buying the gc. When you go to pay with that gift card, use your red card too and save an additional 5%. So use your red card to pay some and the rest use the gc for 10+5. Make sense?

      • M.

        You only get the 5% on the amount that actually goes on the red card. My daughter had a gift card to use for half of our purchase and I used my red card as well and it didn’t take 5% off the full purchase.

        • E

          That stinks. I based my response on what is posted. I have not tried it myself so maybe I’ll try it out today on a small purchase.

  22. Lindsey

    Sweet! We are going to DISNEY world the last week of January! I will purchase target GC with this promotion then use them to purchase DISNEY gift cards with my red card!!! Thank you so much Collin!

    • Heather

      Can we use the target GC to buy Disney GC? We are going too in May and I would do that too if I knew for sure that we could buy Disney GC with the target ones.

      • Andrea

        I always use target Giftcards to purchase other Giftcards sold at target

    • Sam

      Does this work? Was thinking the same thing

    • Julie

      Yes! This is exactly what I’m doing. Just the limit won’t get me very far

    • Kim

      Thanks for mentioning it!! We are doing dopeys challenge follows by castaway 5k! Was just getting ready to buy $1k in gift cards from Sams Club but this is a much better deal!! Just worked out to a couple of dinners and deserts free from the saving between the stores 🤗

    • Collin (Mrs. Hip)

      You’re welcome!

  23. Anita

    I notice that when I check out on target.com as a redcard member it will take the 5% even if I am paying with gc. That way I am saving 5 AND 10%. Again, online order only. Pick up in store works too.

    • cannielle

      You are getting the 5% off with your RC but minus whatever your GC value.

      • Anita

        No. I often pay full with gc. So there was no redcard charging involve.

    • Shar Rundio

      Yes, I’ve done that when buying Disney GC online. If you’ve entered your red card info you can change the payment method to Target GC and still get the 5% discount.

  24. MJ

    I like to use my Target GC”s on pharmacy prescriptions since the red card does not give you the 5% discount on prescriptions. So this deal would be great for that!

  25. Amanda

    Could you purchase a $300 gc online and a $300 gc in store?

    • Mary Beth

      Yrs, I purchased $300 in store and $300 online last year – No problem.

  26. Jul

    If you buy your gift card online do you have to wait until it’s mailed to you to use it?

  27. matysgirl

    You do NOT get 5% off the purchase of regular target gc with your redcard. If you buy a gc with a bunch of stuff, the 5% only comes off the STUFF, not the gc. This is a good deal…and for those that already bought gc as gifts, use them to buy new ones Sunday!

  28. krista

    Anyone else have issues getting their comments to consistently post? I swear sometimes they take and sometimes they don’t……is there someone on the other end approving them or deleting them?

  29. Tracy

    I already bought almost $250 in go this year for gifts! I brought them to customer service yesterday. They consolidated them and I’ll be able to use the one go to re-purchase during this promotion. I’ll have to remember this for next year and wait to buy my gc’s until last minute. Even though I HATE last minute shopping!

  30. JoAnn Kentgen

    You can get a 5% discount buying Disney gift cards on line. Also can get additional if you go through Raise. We just went to Disney and I purchased $400 in gift cards for a reduced cost.

  31. Julie

    Can you buy the gift cards in any denomination?

  32. Tyra

    The max discount total says 30.00 Is that per transaction as well? Im looking to buy a stereo system that would at least require me to buy 4 to 5 — $300.00 dollar discounted cards. So do I buy them all seperate transactions?

  33. Pat

    I know it’s late in the day, but for anyone who still hasn’t done this deal, I thought I’d mention that you can get an additional 2% if you go through Ebates.
    I bought a $300 card for $270 and will get another $5.40 back.
