THIRD UPDATE: Target posted the following in response to someone questioning the BOGO coupon on their Facebook page…

SECOND UPDATE: Before you head out, you may want to read through the comments below to learn about Hip2Saver’s most recent experiences.

UPDATE: After reading through the comments, it sounds like many of you are skeptical that this deal will actually work at your local Target. As I mentioned below, it worked just fine for me an hour or so ago as the cashier simply scans the Mobile Coupon barcode on your phone and the savings are applied automatically (the cashier does not have to key in any info). If you do indeed head out to test the deal, please share your success stories and/or any issues that you experienced below.

Wowza! Throw on your running shoes and sprint over to Target for a smokin’ HOT deal! If you are not yet signed up for Target Mobile offers, you’ll need to text OFFERS to 827438 (note that standard text messaging fees will apply) and click on the link that will be immediately texted back to you. Fill out the required info, follow the directions and you will receive a unique link for several Target Mobile coupons valid through October 4th – note that it took about 5 minutes for this text to arrive.

One of these Target Mobile coupons is valid for Buy One Accessory Item (sunglasses, jewelry or watch) and Get 1 Free up to a $58.99 value. And here’s the best part – clearance items do qualify and the higher priced item is the one that is ringing up FREE in the system. That means you can snag a FREE Accessory item (up to a $58.99 value!) when you purchase another accessory item on clearance – and yes, this makes for one *Smokin’ HOT* deal. Check out what I just scored at my Target here in Boise…


Buy 1 pair of Earrings $2.38
(note that clearance prices will vary but you should be able to find a similar deal)
Buy 1 Timex Watch $49.99
Use the Target Mobile coupon valid for Buy 1 Accessory Item Get 1 Free (cashier just needs to scan the barcode on your phone)


Final Cost $2.38 for both item!! Amazing!!!!

Come back and let us know what you are able to snag!

(A BIG thanks to reader, Sara, for emailing this deal!)

    No issues in Michigan. Worked like a charm 😉

    • Sally

      Worked perfect for me in Mishawaka, IN, less than an hour ago. ***Collin, you rock!!!

  2. Melissa

    Just got home from target and this coupon did NOT work for me. I bought errings $7.99 and a necklace $14.99. I decided to get something I really wanted it said no coupons applied. I asked her to scan it again and it said it had already applied those offers but took off nothing so I just asked her to take them off of my purchase! Sad day!

      Worked for me today in Simpsonville, SC

    • adam

      any chance you would be willing to send your # under the bar-code, so I could try? I guess I wasn’t signed up for mobile coupons. I would be happy to send coupons or something else in return (I have multiple computes, so if you need more than 2 of a print). 616grr@gmail.com

    Chicago city target worked!

    • Amelia

      I went to the Target on Elston and Logan in Chicago, and it worked there too!

  4. Stacy

    Thanks Collin! I was so excited about this deal b/c my hubby likes these watches and needs a new one. I did this deal this morning in Central IL and did not have any issues. My hubby also was able to do it at a different store and had no issues either. Now both hubby and son got new watches. I have been reading your blog since 2009 and am so grateful for all the hard work you do for us!

  5. carol

    Please help..signed up for target mobile coupons and installed the app too..but unable to find the coupon. How to proceed?

  6. Ramey Washington

    I am very grateful for your research, Collin and the unselfishness that you share your and others special finds. I hate it when people think that people owe them something. Collin did not demand that you go to Target, I went because I love deals; I feel that my money goes farther with coupons, apps and any other ways that I can find them. Thank you, Collin, your team and other readers who share their finds and successes.

  7. Katie

    Just went to Target , the coupon didn’t come up when she scanned, said there were no eligible items , the manager told her it ‘d been a problem and to give me the lower priced item. I showed her your post, jncl the response from Target and the honored the higher priced item. Thanks!

  8. Tammi

    You’re the best Collin! Everyone can choose the deals they want to do and that’s great that you’re able to post that even Target has taken responsibility for this glitch. I found a $19.99 set of earrings on clearance for 5.98 and then I was able to get one of the $50 Iron Man watches for my dad for Christmas. My husband just changed jobs and went down to half of his previous pay so please keep posting these deals for the big group of us that appreciate it!!!

  9. Christine

    Can you only use the coupon one time?

    • Christine

      Nevermind, I found on the message where it says the date of redemption.

  10. carol

  21. Amy

    This deal worked for my daughter and I both! Thank you for posting such a cool deal!

  22. jessica

    I saw there was a lot of controversy yesterday (and some very frowny-face attitudes on both sides) on whether this coupon was an error. I had decided to count myself out on the whole thing but after seeing Target’s clarification on Facebook this morning I will be making the trip. Their response was that the coupon should in fact take off the higher value item so as to give the guest the best deal. If anyone has problems at check out I would ask to speak with a supervisor.

    Thank You Thank You Thank You Colin! I got a pair of earrings for $2.46 and bought a really nice watch for my husband for his birthday! and used my redcard and got an additional 5% off. YOU ROCK!

  24. Aryanna

    Hi Collin!

    I just wanted to thank you for posting this awesome Target deal. I was able to get a cute pair of earrings for $2.38 and scored a $39.99 men’s Timex watch for FREE. The deal worked flawlessly. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

    This watch will make a great Christmas present for my hubby. He is a government worker and is forced to work with NO pay until Congress gets their head out their a##.

    As for the people who are all high and mighty and making nasty comments toward you or anyone who took advantage of this deal…Get over yourself, Target is honoring the deal, whether you approve or not! You all must be jealous and too scared to score a great freebie.

    I don’t feel bad and neither should anyone else. Get a life and contact your lawmakers so the government shutdown can end. I feel that’s a topic you all can bi### about.

  25. Pinky

    So I don’t have a smartphone, can I still do this?

    • jack

      yes u can. just register for mobile coupons using ur number.u will get a coupon url.
      open the url in ur laptop..take a print

      • natalie

        The coupons will not show up on my droid? Says, ” check back soon for more great savings”. Does that mean you can not get them anymore?

  26. ashley

    Anyone try this deal at a Target in Mesa, AZ? Just want to find out if I will be having problems if I go today?

    • Jennifer

      Ashley, it does work at Red Mtn Target.

  27. julie

    Mississippi worked perfect

  28. Heather

    I waited out the storm yesterday to see how things would pan out with this deal.

    Today I took my husband shopping and told him to pick out whatever watch he wanted. It worked! I bought some cheap earrings I needed and we got the $39.99 watch FREE in Cedar Park, TX.

  29. Amy

    Worked for me in Central IL. I got a $2.98 bracelet 3pk and a $32.99 Timex women’s watch which I love. The cashier was so impressed she said she was going to snag the deal for herself on her break. I told her thanks to Hip2save.com for the awesome heads up on the deal!

  30. Carol

    Did not work for me in Tulsa, OK.

  31. Sally

    Worked in NJ!!!! Thank you Collin – I can not believe peoples negativity!!!!! Smh

  32. Renee

    You are the bomb diggity, Collin! Thanks for posting this super awesome LEGIT deal. Just got mine…and Thanks Target for honoring it. 🙂

  33. Lizyroo

    Just did this deal in SA, Tx. The cashier was super nice and said she was going to do the deal herself.

  34. llc

    This worked in Houston BUT only after going to Customer Service. I purchased a girl’s Xhiliration watch (reg 16.99) and a mens timex ironman (39.99) for $14.71. There was a 20% cartwheel for the Xhiliration watch. At the register the coupon scanned but didn’t deduct anything. On screen it came up coupon card 0.00. So I purchased anyways and then went to Customer Service. They were nice and easily adjusted it (saying another person had the same issue.) FYI – I brought in several screen shots of recent Target facebook posts saying they were still honoring the coupon today. Otherwise I would not have gone.

  35. Amanda

    Works in Seattle at the Northgate target! Thanks, Collin!

  36. Jesse

    Just did this deal in Seattle. $4.98 clearance earrings for a $34.99 watch. Zero issues. Thanks, Collin!

  37. DC

    Just worked for me in San Diego! The lady working in the jewelry department knew all about the deal and was helping me pick out a watch. She was super excited about it and said many people have scored this awesome deal. Yay for cool employees!! 🙂

    • BT

      That’s great! Which Target in SD did you go to? I’m a bit hesitant to try this deal today, and get rejected!

      • DC

        The one on Sports Arena!! It worked perfect. I even checked out at the jewelry counter.

        • BT

          Awesome! Thanks! I ended up going to the one on College & it worked perfectly. Literally, 10 minutes after I got there more and more people showed up and were all over the watch & jewlery section! Lol. I felt more at ease when I realized others were going to use the coupon.

          I ended up getting two watches for my dad & grandma for $22 total ($64 value)!! 🙂

  38. Me

    Not finding Targets fb post… Anybody have the link? Just want to be sure I have it handy in case I encounter any problems.

    • llc

      I don’t think you can link a facebook post. Just look under “recent posts by others on Target”. For me its the right column near the top.

  39. Nicole

    Went today with my husband and it worked for both of us!! I got 2 necklaces, a bracelet and pair of earrings for $7!!

  40. Deb K

    Thank you. Thank you. I was a little skeptical about this deal. It worked! I really appreciate all of the time you put into posting these amazing money saving tips.

  41. Shelby

    Does it work online???

  42. Mel

    It worked for me in northern va fair lakes target! I actually had my link and my husband’s and got 4 items: 2 pairs of earrings at $2.38 each, an ironman watch at 39.99, and a unisex timex watch that was clearanced to 16.48 (originally 64.99!). This is how awesome the staff always is at my target– a manger rung me out at the jewelry counter. I told him I had 2 mobile coupons to use and offered to do 2 transactions. He said let’s see if it works with just one. It ended up taking off the 39.99 first, then the 2nd coupon took off 2.38. He then manually changed the 2nd discount to 16.48 off! So I paid 5.33 after tax and my redcard discount! I really love how coupon friendly they are at my target! Thanks for sharing this offer!

  43. Sarah

    Man I wish I’d seen the Facebook post before I headed to Target. The Target I went to wouldn’t honor the more expensive item. I just decided to not get the watch and left and also deleted the text with the coupon link, so now I can’t go back and try it again 🙁

    • llc

      retext “offers” and you should get another text

  44. Jeannie

    Worked great for me today!

  45. Carolina

    Tried this deal in Milw WI. No luck. The TL said they receive an email to enter the lowest price…

    • Lindsay

      This happened to me too!

  46. Sonia

    Worked in East Lansing, MI got a $10 pair of earrings and got a $50 watch free. Thank you so much, my husband got a new watch for work.

  47. Megan

    I’m so excited for this deal! I’ve been needing a new watch and on a college student’s budget $50 is a lot of money. I just hope there are some watches left when I go to my Target tomorrow!

  48. Tina

    Worked for me at 5pm in central Ohio. Casher didn’t even care. Thanks Collin!

  49. Kristen

    Worked this evening in Fayetteville, NC with no issues! Thanks Collin!!

  50. Nina

    Levittown, NY……no issues. The cashier even said ‘Wow, what a deal!”.
