    Can you use your target card to pay for them?

    • Cbeths

      You can. But you will not get an additional 5% off.

    • K.

      Yes you just won’t save the additional 5%, I believe.

  2. Kristen

    If I purchase the cards online, do I have to redeem them online?

    • Lisa

      No, Kristen, you don’t have to use them on line. I’ve bought them online and used them in store.

      • Kristen

        Thanks! So do I just show them an email or something? Or do I have to get it shipped to me to use instore?

  3. Lisa

    Collin, could you put like an **** about the Disney Giftcards to buy with the Target Giftcards? While it doesn’t impact me, so many of your followers have commented that you cannot buy the Disney Giftcards with the Target Giftcards. I would hate to see someone get “burned.” I guess if people were duly warned…! Appreciate all you and the team do for every one of our followers.

    • Fun

      I bought Disney gift cards with the target gift card. How am I going to get burned? It activated them as I called and verified the balance. Next I will be walking up to the ticket window at Disneyland and handing them over to payment. What’s the problem, as I don’t get it?

      • Casey

        Fun: Not sure when you did, but many people reporting the orders were canceled shortly after. If you were able to buy them that was a nice glitch!

        • Fun

          I bought them in store at the self checkout with no issue.

          • Casey

            Ah good tip! I can still save 5% with my red card when I need to buy them next year, so not worth all the hassle. Definitely good to know, though!

            • Katie

              I went to my target today and talked to the manager before purchasing. She even scanned a disney gc to verify that they can be purchased with no restrictions in store. Hth

      • Lisa

        Fun, I agree, some have been able to do it, but if you will read in past comments when Collin has posted this deal (in advance of today), some have specifically mentioned they have not been able to do it. No, it has not been an absolute, so good on you for getting them. Just trying to make others aware that there could be an issue and don’t want anyone pointing the finger at Collin.

        • Dawn

          Lisa, you were just trying to be sweet and help out fellow Hip2Savers by giving them a heads up regarding the Target/Disney gift card purchases. The comments by “Fun” weren’t very nice or fun. Sounds like she/he is one of those people who would be grumps at the Happiest Place on Earth! Merry Christmas to the all the positive people on this site who follow Collin and her fabulous team of friends who save us so much money all year round! 💗

        I was disappointed to learn you can no longer purchase disney gcs online using g target gcs, my orders were cancelled three times before I called customer service to ask why. Luckily I had a target store nearby that still accepts target gcs to purchase disney gcs. Customer service said this may be up to the store and may change at a later time. Purchasing hundreds dollars worth of cards in hopes to use them for Disney may tie up people’s money or “burn” them if denied.

    • Casey

      I decided to test it for the heck of it and there isn’t even an option to use a Target GC at checkout online.

    • Naomi

      I’m not sure if you have read my comment in the other post but while you CANNOT purchase Disney gift card with target gift card “ONLINE” (this was terminated in mid August this year), you still CAN in stores. But I’ve heard that some associates might give you a hard time doing that. I suggest using a self-checkout if that’s available at your stores.

  4. K

    I didn’t think you could buy gift cards using a store gift card… can anyone confirm that this is possible?

    • Julie

      Yes you can, you just need to have at one other thing in your cart.

      • JJ

        Yep, worked for me with another item in cart

        • Nana Hu

          it’s won’t work I just tried 2 times and the online chat staff said they changed the policy you can’t use GC buy GC.

      • Susan

        I added on a box of Mac and Cheese and I was able to use a Target GC to purchase 2 Target GC’s. Thanks for the tip, Julie!

    Off topic – anyone has any Kohl’s cash / rewards they are not going to use? I am putting together a donation for my daughter’s preschool. I already got some books and watercolors and would like to get more books and some play doh (I know, it is not the cheapest at Kohl’s but a good item to use kohl’s cash on when I am running out of ideas…).
    I have $30 Old Navy Super Cash (exp. today), Shutterfly 8×8 photo book (2/28), $20/$20, free shipping. Also have a $10/$10 LL Bean (they have free shipping with no minimum), 20% off Children’s Place coupon, 20% off Gymboree and Crazy8.
    My email is masila 2015 at yahoo.com
    Thank you!

    I just used a $300 gift card to purchase $300 gift cards online. I used my target app and the key is to add at least one other thing in your cart or else it won’t work (I tried 😉). So, yes you can use a target gift card to purchase gift cards if you have one more thing in your cart. Also had them ship the physical gift cards.

    • Brittany

      Thanks for the heads up!

  7. Heidi

    Thank you for the reminder to help me finish up my teacher gifts!! 🙂 I am trying to re-create the snow globe gift card post you put up earlier. I appreciate all that you and your family does for us!

  8. mal

    You are no longer able to purchase Disney gift cards online using target gcs! You may be able to buy in store but it depends on the individual store. Found this out last month, going to Disney in January 🙂

  9. K

    Thank you to all who gave me tips on purchasing gift cards with a gift card, didn’t know I could! (Don’t care about Disney, I’m thinking about other types of GCs) You’re so helpful. Thanks! Bought a $300 Target card through Ebates, got 1% cashback from them and another 1% from using my Discover card. Woop woop!

    • mel

      Are you sure you’re getting 1% from Ebates? In the terms it states under Exclusions – Cash Back is not available on gift cards and orders deemed by Target to be for resale.

      • Jessie

        I got 1% with ebates. It’s already added to my account.

  10. K Neal

    Can you buy a GC with a GC? I buy mine at Giant Eagle for Fuel Perks.

  11. Amanda M

    Thanks for the reminder! Did $100 for next weeks grocery trip, then did (2) 10.00 gift cards for teachers, the 10% deducted 12.00 so it was like getting one of the teachers cards for free! Awesome 🙂

  12. HBS

    If you buy them online, do they ship to you the actual physical cards or do you print them out at home?

    • burgys

      You can choose to have them physically mailed or emailed.

      • JJ

        If you have them emailed, ” Your eGiftCard will be active after 10am CST on 12/5. “

  13. Zimmerman

    Has anyone that bought their gift card in store today tried using it? Kind of odd that it isn’t available to use until tomorrow I’m just wonder if they put a hold on it or if they are just saying that?

    • ayselskye

      I’m pretty sure they are not allowing people to use them today so people won’t try buying another gift card with that gift card.

  14. TheDealGetterRN

    Just a heads up couponers-went to target today & they rejected nearly all of my coupons!!! I had to talk to the manager to have them accept my target coupon! What the heck :/

    • Tina

      The last 2 times I used coupons at target it was a huge hassle. I felt like a criminal and I wasn’t trying to pull anything shady. Very frustrating!

    • Qgirlfriend

      I had that problem, too. Haven’t been back to that store since. Other Targets in my area haven’t given me any problems yet…fingers crossed, as I would hate to have to stop shopping at Target. I’ve already started doing some of my shopping at Walmart.

    • katefree138

      My Target told me their new system automatically handles accepting coupons & when to give a Target GC for items purchased….the manager told me she couldn’t override it!! I was attempting to use coupons for 2 items w/ OOP $2 something & then receive a $5 GC back for a moneymaker. I’ve done those deals tons of times before but they wouldn’t let me do it.

      • Corina

        I also was told the CS desk could not over ride the computer when I had purchased an item with a coupon it did not recognize. I told the CS desk to then to return the item and refund me. For some reason the person was able to issue me the $1.00 bill in cash I was trying to save in the first place.

  15. burgys

    I took advantage and bought my gift cards online. If you have Paypal Credit you get 6 months interest free if your purchase is $99 or more. So I can pay off my $300 gift card at $45 each month 🙂

  16. vicki smrecek

    Thanks for the reminder

  17. NV

    Just FYI if it hasn’t been said…I’ve placed multiple orders online for emailed Target GCs exceeding the $300 limit (in total). I think you just can’t order more than $300 at a time.

    As for Disney GCs, you can use Target GCs in most stores, just not online – that’s what most Disney forums and the like state based on user experiences.

  18. Luna

    Wow this is great you can buy a gift card with a gift card!! Thanks

  19. ann

    is there a limit to how many gift cards you can use when making a purchase either in store or online?

  20. Wendy

    Ok so I am thinking you can purchase these to use for yourself and then get 5% off your purchase with them when you use them to spend in the store. Totaling 15% off your purchase?

    • mel

      You mean 5% with red card? That’s what I’m wondering too.

      • Lisa

        Wendy/Mel, I think in the earlier posts followers have commented that you do not get the extra 5% off with the Red Card (if that is what you mean). I don’t have a Red Card… just going off of previous comments in Collin’s earlier posts.

        • mel

          (different mel than above) In the past when I’ve done split payment for transactions (gc, redcard), I *have* received the 5%, but it is based AFTER the GC payment. Like I did the $50 in food/beverage get $10 off a few wks ago. After q’s + CW, my total was about $35. I used a $25 GC and got 5% off the remaining balance of $10. HTH.

          • Heidi

            Great explanation – thank you!

          • mel

            OK, thank you!

          • Wendy

            No I meant when you use the gift cards you bought (at 10% off) to make purchases for yourself (not as gifts for someone) in the store you will save 5% more for a total of 15% do you know what I mean??

            • S

              No because you won’t receive the extra 5% off if you use GC. The 5% off only applies if you use your red card. HTh

  21. Diana

    Extra 1% back from Ebates! Other said Ebates wont give you cash back for gift card purchases but I just received my 1% 🙂

  22. Donna Hand Gavin

    What is the promo code to get the 10% off gift cards at Target

    • hippy

      it comes off automatically in the cart.

  23. Deb

    I have $20/20 Gymboree coupon for trade , i want $15 worth of Amazon or kohls gift card.
    Email me
    Sjack143@gmail.com

  24. KK

    Not all targets will let you purchase gift cards with a gift card! Then I called corporate and they informed me that they stopped allowing the purchase of gift cards with a gift card 2 months ago! I’m so annoyed that I just wasted a trip! Choose your target carefully everyone!

    • Ann

      I so wish you didn’t call.

  25. Iuliia007

    Hi Hip2Save community! Do any of you still receive Similac or Infamil checks that you no longer need or use? I have a little one on formula and those checks would be a great help for me 🙂 Please e-mail: iuliiasherrod at gmail dot com if you could share your checks! Thank you all 🙂

  26. Ashley

    If anyone has any shutterfly codes they won’t be using or would like to trade, I have some $20 off holiday cards or an 8×11 free photo book (valid through March 2017) to trade for free items (I don’t need $20 off codes or photo book codes). I also have some pampers codes I could trade. Let me know imashorty61633@gmail.com thanks!

  27. sophia

    Anyone interested in trading for $50 off tiny prints? Told myself I’d find something but ended up being too busy too look 🙁 slyn 208 at gmail com expires 12/4
