    Well played Target.

    • Homr on 07/01/2016 - 11:10

      Same thing happened to me!!! :(

      I would've been better off if I shopped at coles normally and used my ING debit card to get 2% off paywave!!!!

      Shady Target, very shady…

    • hpwqust on 07/01/2016 - 13:31

      Just call them to get the $25 refunded or get the order cancelled.

  • diazepam on 07/01/2016 - 11:03

    damn they got on that one fast

  • bobbie34567 on 07/01/2016 - 11:03

    For those who squeezed in an order near the end check your bank accounts to make sure $100 was charged and not $125.

    • 18 on 07/01/2016 - 11:05

      Yeah… same here. It even said $100 on the paypal page. Wtf :\

      • iRMonkey on 07/01/2016 - 11:06

        I think best everyone raise a paypal dispute over it.

        Hopefully paypal will take notice of the flurry of similar paypal disputes and just refund everyone

    • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2016 - 11:05

      Just double checked, charge $100

    • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2016 - 11:32

      If you got charged the full amount try calling their support line (1300 753 567) to see if they can cancel the order or give a partial refund before the gift cards get issued. If worse comes to worst you'll be doing your daily shopping at coles for a little while ;)

    • DavidRu on 07/01/2016 - 11:35

      Got charged $100 on CC, so still hoping - what does "created" actually mean on target.com.au? Anybody got an idea?

    oh ffs, they removed the discount before I paid and I didn't pick it up. So now I paid $125 for $125 giftcards booooo :(

    • SevenSmurfs on 07/01/2016 - 11:10

      Exact same thing happened to me…
      - had it in my cart showing $100,
      - paid with paypal for $100,
      - check paypal and was charged $125
      - raised a paypal dispute case against it

      • Homr on 07/01/2016 - 11:12

        Do we have a chance of winning though?

        • matrix83 on 07/01/2016 - 11:13

          It's worth a try since it clearly said $100 when I paid via paypal (wish I screenshotted this)

          Surely it can't be right that we thought we paid $100 and then check our accounts later and be charged $125.

        • Homr on 07/01/2016 - 11:17

    Not sure what awaiting review means 😐

    • wildstone on 07/01/2016 - 11:09

      Most probably means it is gonna get cancelled… Whenever something is posted in OzB things are gonna go the other way as the community is just too strong a force.

      • cjmorgan87 on 09/01/2016 - 14:59

      Except that the owner doesn't 'lose' those $25's, instead they earn many many many $100's, temporarily. Until the gift cards are used.

    • [Deactivated] on 07/01/2016 - 11:31

      Ethical in regards to Coles and Woolworths ? try asking them first about their practices

    • tianyujojo on 07/01/2016 - 11:38

      This is ozbargain. What do you think?

    • SlickMick on 07/01/2016 - 12:27

      I don't see a problem. Gift cards have been discounted before.
      If they offer $25 off for spending $125, what does it matter whether it's an immediate purchase or via a gift card?

      I usually shop at woolies. Would wesfarmers be willing to wear a 20% discount with an intention of converting me to coles? That's their call.

      Also, I think gift cards have a lower value than cash due to risk. They'd count on some never being used (give one to someone who isn't interested in shopping there, or doesn't get or like how they work), card gets lost, don't bother with change left on card etc.

      If I managed to pay for subsequent cards with the previously purchased card, hence just accumulate free $25 cards, that might be different.
      To answer your question, I was going to make the owner aware of the glitch by purchasing as many as I can until the alarm is raised. :)
      (Unfortunately I got distracted and only made first purchase.)

  • tomorrows_angel on 07/01/2016 - 11:10

    I had two accounts so placed two orders. I've only received an order confirmation for one of the two and vouchers for neither. I hope it comes through! Could do with a discount after all the bills I've just been hit with!

      If they don't honour it, the least they could do is give us a $25 gift voucher for our time.

    • victorheaven on 07/01/2016 - 11:26

      Looks like they will, as they've agreed to refund me with $25 due to code not working rather than cancelling the whole order.

      • SlickMick on 07/01/2016 - 12:31

        Dang maybe I should go and put a heap of orders in, then ask for $25 refund on each. Do I need to call, or can it be done online?

        I'm joking - I'm not keen to go through that.

  • Food on 07/01/2016 - 11:16

    Quick! Go and use your gift cards to buy e.g. a Coles myer card at the self serve so they cnat cancel it on you!

      Was probably meant to exclude gift cards, as they can't make money that way with such a large discount. The $25 off offer is genuine, just no longer for gift card purchases

    My Advice to anyone who was charged $125 instead of $100: call target online store at 1800 814 788.

    They have just refunded me with the $25, although it will take 5 days to process the refund.

    Funny thing is that the lady asked me at least twice on where I saw this code. :P

    Good luck!

    • SevenSmurfs on 07/01/2016 - 11:26

        call anyway, you might get refunded twice. 1 from Target and 1 from paypal :)
