[…] Get a $10 Target gift card for $5: It’s always nice to save a couple of bucks on stuff you were already going to buy. If you’re interested, grab this one before it’s gone. […]
Ok I’ll say it – this feels like fraud. – If the offer is by invitation only, these machinations by design are to get something not intended to be given to you. For $5? Nope, I’d rather steal paper clips from the office.
Worked great, just signed up and got it. Thanks
[…] $5 for a $10 Target eGiftCard On Groupon. Targeted offer, but check if you’re able to purchase. These usually go quick. (HT: Frequent Miler) […]
I got by the “invitation error” only email by switching accounts, and completed the purchase, BUT I got an email only a few minutes after saying they could not process my order.
Nope. Tried incognito mode, but as soon as I logged into my Groupon account, I got the “by invitation only” error message.
I do think you have to be targeted, the link is only good if you got an email.. so that’d be one way to check (esp. if you got multiple groupon accounts)
You can create a new account rather than logging into your usual account.
So are you going through the portal, then pasting that link in? That doesn’t invalidate the portal? I’m targeted, but outside of directly clicking the link in the original email I haven’t been able to get it show up. Was hoping to check out using Discover.
Yes, when you click through from the portal, you should see that the URL has lots of stuff at the end after a question mark. I pasted the above URL into the first part, but kept the question mark and everything after it since that includes the tracking info
Gotcha, I did that so hopefully it’ll still track! DD is doubled within your first year and it feels like they pay out faster than these smaller portals.
Says invitation only, and cannot buy. Bummer
Can you try in private or incognito mode without logging into your account? I was able to buy without an invitation. And then I tried again on a new account (different email address) and that worked too.
Tried incognito mode, doesn’t let me buy without signing in. No luck 🙁
