    I don’t have a smartphone, and I don’t have the Target ad. Can I price match without them?

    • Mary Sue

      I just pulled the weekly ad off online and printed the page. Hoping that will work.

    • Rae

      Our walmart keeps the weekly ads from each store at the registers.

  2. Sarah

    You can pick up the ad at customer service.

  3. Sarah

    Or print online if you can’t get to Target.

  4. BRITTANI

    Can you use the gift card right away?

    • cbeths

      yes — but not on the current purchase

  5. Janet

    I know target won’t pm and give you the gc, will walmart do it? Tia!

  6. Jessica

    Is the Walmart $50 gift card deal regional? I cannot seem to find it in my Walmart local weekly ad?

  7. Andrea

    Bless you. My nephew has been dying for this but I couldn’t otherwise afford it

  8. Natalie

    So I just left Wal-Mart and they said they won’t do the price match and the gift card. It’s one or the other.

  9. DJDon

    Last time (for a different item) my store rejected the PM saying that they have a GC promo and I can’t combine 2 promos (aka I can’t get the PM and GC too). I know lots of people have success with it though. Is there something mentioned in their policy or somewhere using which I can make a case in my favor? TIA.

    • truescoops

      i just read their PM Policy and saw nothing regarding not being able to get the gift card along with a price match. I think this deal is a YMMV.

  10. Samanda Bear

    I just tried it at my Walmart, and they wouldnt do it. The manager said I can either do the gift card or the price match, but not both. Gonna try the other Walmart, just in case.

    • Samanda Bear

      Well, they did it at the other Walmart, no problem. I guess its just up to each store manager. I was able to get two. Now, all I need is a few cheapy stocking stuffers, and Christmas is in thee bag!! Thank you, Colin! You made this Christmas super cheap!!

  11. Jacque

    I tried this last week when it was $149 at Best Buy. My walmart wouldn’t do both the gift card and the price match. It’s not stated directly in their coupon policy, so it’s up to the store manager.

  12. tam

    I think it is fair that they wont do both….but totally understand why people ask!

    • Michelle W

      I agree 😊

  13. Christine

    Our local Walmart wasn’t going to do the Ninja pm and gift card the other week but I told my husband to tell the manager that they gave my sister the pm and gift card on an ipod touch the day before and they gave my husband both for the ninja. It is up to the manager in each store.

  14. Elizabeth

    My walmart let me do this. I got 2 and also was able to get the Mario ones with the preloaded game. I love my store manager!

  15. mel

    My store has two very tiny signs taped to the bottom of the case where the ds’ are stored. Very tiny and about to fall off- so I would ask.

  16. Jessica

    In which walmart ad are you finding this? I have checked my local one online and do not see it.

    • Melanie

      Under the regular ad on the website, there is an electronics ad. It is in there.

  17. Natalie

    Have any of you had success at any Wal-Mart’s in utah? I tried Clinton, but they wouldn’t do both.

    • Rebecca

      I was able to get the deal in Riverdale today. Apparently the manager yesterday wouldn’t let them do it but the manager today was all for it! Good luck!

  18. Stephanie

    Just bought one at my Walmart in Florida with no problem! Thanks! I would go back to your Walmart and demand the gift card…. There’s nothing on writing that says one or the other

  19. Shannon

    I tried in kansas they wouldn’t let me do both. πŸ™

  20. Pat

    I actually did this deal online and the price of the DS comes up on the receipt as only 149. The gift card is $50 which is your $199 total.

  21. SR

    So you did not get the deal, Pat.

  22. Diane

    I got the deal. I only asked for the Target price match and the register prompted for the gift card so it didn’t cause a problem. This was a similar deal last year when I price matched a power wheels and it prompted the gift card without me saying a word. Good luck

  23. Brooke

    Yeah our walmart said no way – it’s one or the other. I raced there right after reading this :/

  24. Jess

    I just purchased the Nintendo 3DS XL and they did honor the Target price match and the $50.00 gift card. I did walk in with the Target ad and the cashier did have to call the manager to have it ok’d. She was having doubts until I showed them the deal (on your app!) Thanks Collin! πŸ‘

  25. John

    Good deal thanks!

  26. cindy

    If anyone has a Sephora code that they didn’t use, I would greatly appreciate it! (expired ones as well) Thank you!! email: cindynguyen111-at-gmail-dot-com

    • ana

      Why would you want expired ones?

  27. JaxC

    I rushed over to my Walmart with the printed target ad, and after about 20 mins the asst manager okayed it. I didn’t mention the gift card but he did ring it in for me at the register. Thanks Colin!! My son has been asking for this and otherwise wouldn’t be getting it for Christmas. 😁

  28. Jill

    I was able to PM and get the $50 GC in the Newport News/ Hampton Roads area of Virigina! No problems whatsoever. Got 2, one Mario one with preloaded game. Had to call manager over to override PM, but was no problem as I had both ads open and ready! Thanks for the heads up on this deal. Had to get a few things and used the gift cards on the way out!

  29. laura

    The key is to not mention the gift card to the cashier. Just ask for a PM. The register should automatically prompt for the gift card.

    • Megan

      I totally agree! We didn’t mention it, just let the register do the talking and we were able to get two with no problem.

  30. Amelie

    My Walmart would not allow me to do both.

  31. Lisa M

    I got one! Michigan Really, really wanted to get one for my nephew and feeling so blessed to have found this site. It has helped me save so much money and helped me to bless others too. You guys are all awesome! Thank you for posting the deals Colin and thanks all of you hip2savers for sharing your finds too.

  32. Andrea

    Update. I did manage to snag the deal, however when the guy in the Electronics department tried to ring me up after doing the Target price match, the register wouldn’t process the gift card. I went to customer service for them to ring it and they tried to give me a hard time claiming you can’t get the $50 gift card with the price match. I told them that the Associate in Electronics didn’t tell me that and pointed out they offer the savings catcher on the receipt and I would still be back if the price came in lower. They finally put it through with the price match and gave me the gift card.

  33. Kate

    Off topic, but if anyone wants to trade a macys, target or a walmart gift card for a $10 vs ones please email me at katekarpenko@yahoo

  34. Sole_Pro

    It worked at my store. I picked up one in each color(black, red, and blue) for each of my boys. Thank you for helping us win Christmas!

  35. Mike

    I got the deal at Walmart in El Paso, TX. I agree that the key is to not mention the gift card at all. It’s a national deal and the clerk will be promoted automatically after the manager approves the price match. One Walmart did not allow me to price match the super Mario 2 bundled version of the 3DS which has a free game pre-installed, so I got a basic 3DS XL and DID get the gift card automatically. I stopped at another WM and was able to get the super Mario version with the free game this time which is a $30 value (the manager didn’t even look at the ad before approving…btw the bundled 3DS versions are the same price as the basic versions…$199). This is a great deal for $99.99! My nephew will be super excited!

  36. Crystal

    Is the gc off at Walmart in the ad? I’m not seeing it?

    • Mike

      My paper had 3 different Walmart ads, and the gift card offer was only listed in ONE of the ads, and it was not posted anywhere at my store…u can try purchasing one and if it doesn’t work out for you simply return it at customer service…no biggie.

  37. Shelley

    Thank you so much for this deal. It was the only way my son would have gotten this gift. Merry Christmas.

  38. Katharine

    We could not have afforded to get my son this without this deal – and even then my husband was a hard sell, but the benefits to kids with autism convinced him. We were able to get this deal then used the gift card to put towards a Keurig and got a $20 on that.

  39. Holly

    Best shopping trip savings for me so far. Went to a Walmart in town and they wouldn’t allow the price match with the gift card so I left and went to a town close by (5 miles away) and they did the deal with no problems. I got 2 with the PM and 2 $50 GC just a MGR was called to override the price match.

  40. Jen

    What cities are you all finding this deal in? I have checked a dozen weekly ads in St Petersburg, Largo & Tampa Fl and this DS deal is not listed. I called one of the stores also and they said they didn’t have this GC promotion going on.

    • em

      I asked for a ad at customer service. Its a small 4or 6 page ad and smaller in size then normal. My walmart had a little tag with the 3ds xl with the gift card deal labeled. They should only ask for the target ad.

  41. Shannon

    Thank you Collin! This deal worked great. I was looking for an alternative gift before I saw this post.

  42. Ash

    This worked in Woodhaven, Michigan today! The cashier said he didn’t think he could do it so I asked if he could try, called the Ass. Manager over and Yep! It worked πŸ™‚ Thanks SO MUCH! Only two more in stock at this location.

  43. Amanda

    Just worked for me in north alabama!!!!

  44. Alyanna

    Worked for me in San Jose. I went to one Walmart and they would only let me price match one 3DS – had to drive to another one 20 minutes away because they sold out the following day! As others have said, the key thing is to not really mention the gift card… since it seems like the register prompts for it regardless of price match.

    Kinda bummed I wasn’t able to get one of the bundle packs that had Mario Kart preloaded, but I’ll take what I can get!

    Thank you so much, I wasn’t sure if I’d be able to get one for my little sister.

  45. Janelle

    Worked for me in CA. I didn’t mention the gift card and the clerk handed it to me on his own. Yeah!

  46. Stefany

    My Walmart would not give me the $50 gift card. They said the price match voids their own store promotions. Weird.

    • Howard VA

      Go to another. It works….

  47. KeeKee

    Did the deal here in Chicago on Southside, manager price matched and machine prompted him for $50 GC, no issues. So, bought a 2nd DSI, manger price matched, well this time i used the 1st GC to help pay for the 2nd purchase now my total was $99.99oop and received $50GC like i should have. So, 1st order was $149.99oop, 2nd order was $99.99oop walked away with $50GC.

  48. Howard VA

    Just happened upon this post at work this evening and sure enough standing in line at Walmart right now! Works. Thank you…

  49. Sandy

    Just went over to Walmart and got this in bowling Green Kentucky. When the register prompted for the gift card they said I couldn’t have it with the “sale” price. They tried to override it but the register would not allow them to so they ended up giving it to me. πŸ™‚
