10% off Target Gift Cards next week

Target is again running a week of promotions called “Target Circle Week” from July 6-12. This year’s promotions will include three rotating “Deals of the Day,” one of which will be 10% off Target gift cards. These can obviously be worthwhile both for personal use and potentially for reselling.

Target hasn’t specified which day the gift card sale will be in effect, but we will republish this post when it goes live.

Target usually runs this promo in December with a coupon that’s good towards a maximum of $500 in total gift cards. We don’t know yet whether or not that limit will be in effect during Target Circle Week as well, but the deal should be valid for both online and in-store gift card purchases.

The Deal

Target will be offering 10% off purchases of Target gift cards for one day only between 6/6-6/12:

• • The deal is auto-applied when you as long as you have a Target Circle account
  • Direct link to offer (we will repost once the deal is live)

Key Terms

Terms from last year’s deal. We will update these once this year’s version goes live.

• Offer valid for one day only.
• Transaction can include multiple Target gift cards.
• Limit one coupon/offer per guest.

Quick Thoughts

Target runs this deal every year in December with a $500 limit and regular Target shoppers always get excited about the chance to save up to $50. It’s nice to see that they’re now offering another shot (at the target) in July as well.

You can load these gift cards to your Target wallet and use them on your phone to pay in-store, making them easy to use over time. Many people will find this worthwhile for personal use, particularly those who shop regularly at Target and/or are trying to, ahem, hit the target for a minimum spend on a new credit card welcome offer.

If you don’t shop at Target regularly, this could still be useful depending on your resale avenues. I wouldn’t expect to turn much of a profit, but for many the chance to break even on a decent chunk of spend is appealing.

Whatever the limit ends up being, we don’t recommend trying to exceed it. A few years ago, there were reports from people whose gift cards were zeroed out days after the promotion, which was a giant headache.
