10% off Him, Love, Gift, Active & The Restaurant Gift Cards @ Target

640

Saw this at target Hornsby NSW store this morning and bought some gift cards. The discount didn’t scan at checkout and had to go to service desk to get correct price charged. Maybe an upcoming offer and this store has put the sign up too early?

    What is the face value of the cards, do they have big denomination, $500?

    • All $100 from what I saw

  • Is this a nationwide promo?

    • +2

      Would like to know too, I checked Target online catalogue, it says "Catalogue coming soon" - bah

    • Can confirm found some in WA but as mentioned by the OP. They don’t scan properly so need someone to sort it out in store.

    • Not here in Victoria, at least my local Target.

    • +1

      Found in WA, and did scan properly.

  • Can u use target egc to buy this gc at target?

    • I would imagine not…same as using a coles egift at coles. They have to be put through as gift card, and you can't buy a gift card with a gift card through their system. Not sure about physical cards as payment though, as they might be able to be entered as card payment, maybe someone else can elaborate. I don't have a Target very close me now, so, not sure.

      • U can use coles egc to buy gc at coles(the system allows that), but some staff don’t let u do that. So i am curious about target.

        • -2

          no, you can't use an egift card at coles to buy a gift card, as it has to be entered as a gift card and so won't let you. If you use a physical coles/myer card, you can pay as a card payment, and that allows it to go through.

          • +1

            @souths123: I've tested it and used Coles gift cards to buy other gift cards many times. You can't use a Coles groceries gift card

            I bought them via ShopBack and scan it at checkout

            • @BargainsGrabber: I thought they had closed that loophole ages ago about using an egift card to buy a gift card?? Woolies have and you can't use any type of gift card to buy a gift card anymore, and haven't for ages. Last time I tried a standard coles egift card, it didn't work to purchase one?? Says that payment method not accepted for that sale. Only the Coles/Myer physical ones do as a card payment, as the egifts, as far as I know, HAVE to be scanned as a gift card. and also the C/M ones can't purchase another denomination of Coles or Myer card, or the Coles Mastercard, but works on everything else as far as I can tell.

              • @souths123: Nope afaik they haven’t closed the loopholes yet
                I didn’t neg your comments btw

    eBay 10% off after so long…

    Oooh

  • Could I use OnlyONE Visa Prepaid Home Improvement Gift card from this: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/716916 to purchase the gift cards?

  • nice, thanks OP

  • That was a very painful 15 minute transaction… thank you nonetheless though!

  • +1

    Is there a limit on how many cards you can use at a physical jbhifi store in one transaction? and any exclusions e.g. apple products?

    • No limit - there's an OzB record with a receipt the length of a store posted somewhere.

    • +2

      Someone once redeemed 81 TCN/Ultimate gift cards in one in-store transaction at JB Hi-Fi. I have also seem rumours of (presumably) someone else redeeming 95 TCN gift cards in one in-store transaction at JB Hi-Fi…

      The only restriction I have heard in regards to the redemption of TCN (or Ultimate) gift cards at JB Hi-Fi is that you cannot use either to purchase JB Hi-Fi gift cards. However, I believe there is nothing in the JB Hi-Fi sales system to stop you from doing this, so it is up to staff to enforce this policy (and not a lot do this). In other words, you can use TCN gift cards at JB Hi-Fi to purchase pretty much everything else (including Apple products, which itself includes Apple gift cards).

    Anyone can confirm this promotion in Victoria? Eagerly looking for GC promos :D

    • Yes plz someone confirm for VIC

      • +1

        No promo, went to store in Airport west, manager declined to provide discount, it is store specific.

        • +1

          Why is VIC being difficult , need those eBay cards :(

            @razorite: Confirmed 10% off at Target Chirnside Park VIC

            • @icysprite: For all listed by OP? Target at the Glen only includes Him and the cinema card.

              • @Craze: Yes. For all listed inc. GIFT and Restaurant

            • @icysprite: May I ask if 10pct off auto applied at self serve checkout or was staff manual adjustment required?

              • +1

                @Supermari78: Need to check out at Staff counter to apply discount manually

  • Saw this at Westpoint Blacktown. Should be Nationwide

  • +2

    No luck at target eastgardens

    • Thanks for the heads up To save my trip going there:)

  • Just bought 5 x $100 'Gift' cards from Target Joondalup. They needed to put through the discount manually. The other type of cards correctly scanned at 10% off. Heaps left.

  • Bought 4x$100 GIFT cards last night from Target Garden City. The staff has to manually apply the 10% discount but she said other elighible cards are fine to apply the discount automatically.

  • Scanned properly at Tweed mall.

  • Does these him cards work online and in store or just in store for jb hifi?

    How long is the deal on for?

    • For your first question, have a look at this comment, as it more or less addresses that question.

      For your second question, the sign in the photo on OP's description indicates the deal should end on 07 Sep 2022. I don't think anyone here has anything else (e.g. a catalogue) that states otherwise…

      • I grabbed two I don’t know if I be using online or in store yet or when.
        But am I right I can exchange them for jb hifi gift cards on tcn site?

        That way if online or in store I have no issues.

        If I did use this online as is tcn card am I right you can only use one card and can’t use the tcn card and combine with another payment same time?

        • But am I right I can exchange them for jb hifi gift cards on tcn site?

          Yes (for the moment, anyway).

          Keep in mind that JB Hi-Fi could be removed from the TCN gift card scheme (or change redemption options) at any time. I mention this, because there was about a one month period late last year where you could not exchange a TCN gift card for a JB Hi-Fi gift card through the TCN website, but you could still redeem a TCN gift card in-store at JB Hi-Fi.


          If I did use this online as is tcn card am I right you can only use one card and can’t use the tcn card and combine with another payment same time?

          Wrong.

          You cannot directly redeem a TCN gift card on the JB Hi-Fi website (or any participating retailer’s website), because you cannot redeem an EFTPOS gift card online.

          If you want to use TCN gift cards online at JB Hi-Fi, you need to go through the gift card exchange facility on the TCN website first to exchange the TCN gift card for a digital JB Hi-Fi gift card. You can redeem an unlimited number of JB Hi-Fi gift cards online.

          • @WookieMonster: Just so I understand this these tcn cards I just got can’t be used online as they are never knew that, I thought these could be used online and in store.

            If this is correct then my best option is to convert both to jb hifi card on tcn site and I’m all sorted and can use either in store or online.
            Is this done right away to convert being weekend or does it take a day or two or weekdays.

            I have used these cards before but was in store only in past but that’s cause it suited me better.
            But I might need to use online this time and reason I ask the questions.

            I think I’m getting mixed up also with ultimate cards etc of recentl which works differently also.

            • +2

              @bwatt72: You are getting the TCN gift cards mixed up with the Ultimate gift cards.

              • The TCN gift cards in this deal are physical EFTPOS gift cards. You cannot redeem them directly online, so it is a bit strange that TCN have online as a redemption option on their website. If you want to redeem a physical TCN gift card online, you need to exchange the balance for a digital gift card from a participating retailer (assuming they offer this as an option), and you do this through the TCN website.

              • The Ultimate gift cards you see pictured in other gift card deals (e.g. the current Coles deal) are Visa gift cards, so you can redeem a maximum of one online at a participating retailer (assuming a participating retailer accepts them online, and not all do).

              • Some stores (e.g. Coles) are still selling the older EFTPOS version of the Ultimate gift cards. Those can only be redeemed in-store at a small list of participating retailers; there is no exchange facility, no option for a digital version to store on a mobile wallet… These started being phased out 12 months ago, so you'll usually struggle to find a store still stocking these types of gift cards.


              If this is correct then my best option is to convert both to jb hifi card on tcn site and I’m all sorted and can use either in store or online.

              Yep.

              Personally, I would only keep TCN HIM gift cards and not do any exchanges if:

              • I was looking to purchase gift cards in-store at JB Hi-Fi.

              • I was looking to purchase an agency product (e.g. Miele, Asko) at JB Hi-Fi. You cannot purchase agency products using JB Hi-Fi gift cards.

              • I was interested in redeeming a TCN HIM gift card at multiple participating retailers.


              Is this done right away to convert being weekend or does it take a day or two or weekdays.

              It should take a couple of minutes for the gift cards to be emailed to you. I have not done an exchange over a weekend, so I don't know what that is like!

  • I’m curious if you could use this gift card at jb with the current $100 spend $10 off perks.
    So save $10 on gift card and $10 if spending $100.

    • +1

      I would expect that to stack.

    My local target only shows Him, and Cinema gift cards on special

    • Yip - also tried both Joondalup and Innaloo , both only have signs advertising Him and Cinema gift cards at 10% off now. No luck getting 10% off on the GIFT gift cards.

      • Looks like Target has changed the cards on promo. Morley has the updated signs too. Unsure if it is a WA region specific special.

      • Wow - That was quick. :(

    • Same for me as I had visited the store in Midland. Only the TCN Him and TCN The Cinema cards have discount.

    Went to Chatswood target. Only him card on special now. Anyone got luck for gift card on special in NSW? Thanks.

    • Nopes, I was in Broadway target yesterday, waited for a response from a manager, after a while, i was advised that the new promotion updates will be coming soon which only promotes him and cinema gc , What a drama!

      • Is broadway currently selling the him ones on sale?

        • only $50 left, can’t be bothered .

  • Do you get flybuys points ?

      No. Bought $200 worth, scanned my card but nothing.

  • Whats the maximum amount of gift cards you can use at JB Hifi?
    I'm looking to buy a TV

      I don't think JB Hi-Fi has a specific limit on the number (or dollar amount) of TCN/Ultimate gift cards you can redeem in one transaction in-store.

      • One OzBargainer redeemed 81 TCN/Ultimate gift cards in one in-store transaction last year.

      • I have seen rumours of (presumably) someone else redeeming 95 TCN/Ultimate gift cards in one in-store transaction a couple of years ago.

      If you convert your TCN gift cards into JB Hi-Fi gift cards, there is no limit on the number (or dollar amount) of JB Hi-Fi gift cards you can redeem online at JB Hi-Fi (and I believe it is the same in-store too).

      • How would you convert your TCN gift cards to JB Hi-fi gift cards?
        Can you do it online or would you do it in person at JB?

        Lol that receipt

        • +2

          Can you do it online

          Yes, but you will need to go through the TCN website to do this.

          • Go to the webpage for the TCN gift card you have (in this case, the HIM card).
          • Scroll down to the How To Use section
          • Choose the desired participating retailer from the dropdown list
          • Click/tap on the Online button to the right of the box or dropdown list (only required for participating retailers that permit TCN gift cards to be redeem in-store as well)
          • Click/tap on Proceed
          • Follow the subsequent steps to have the digital gift card emailed to you.

          or would you do it in person at JB?

          Probably not, considering you can use the TCN gift card exchange facility (at the moment, anyway).

          The one item you're officially not allowed to purchase using TCN (or Ultimate) gift cards at JB Hi-Fi is JB Hi-Fi gift cards. However, this is not enforced by the checkout, so if you are served by a staff member who is not aware of this official policy (or they never realise you are using a TCN/Ultimate gift card as a payment method), you can get away with it.

          • @WookieMonster: If I bought 20 TCN gift cards, even after converting I'd still have 20 JB gift cards right?
            There's no way to combine them into larger denominations?

            Also thanks for the replies

            • +1

              @nathywathy: You cannot consolidate multiple TCN gift cards into one TCN gift card.

              You cannot exchange multiple TCN gift cards at the same time for one JB Hi-Fi gift card through the TCN website. You can only exchange one TCN gift card for one (or more) JB Hi-Fi gift card through the TCN website.1

              You cannot consolidate multiple JB Hi-Fi gift cards into one through JB Hi-Fi anymore. You used to be able to do that, but that stopped in late 2020.2

              However, if you go into a JB Hi-Fi store and ask to purchase a large-denomination (e.g. $500) JB Hi-Fi gift card, the checkout system will let you use multiple EFTPOS/Visa/Mastercard/AMEX cards as payment methods (including TCN gift cards). However, it is up to staff whether they will allow this. If you only ever tell staff that you want to use EFTPOS cards (and do not mention anything about TCN gift cards), you may be able to get away with it.


              1. For reference, Swap Celebration gift cards are the only multi-retailer gift cards I know of that allows you to exchange multiple multi-retailer gift cards at the same time into one retailer-specific gift card. 

              2. I suspect OzBargain had a hand in that due to this deal, where people were trying to think of creative ways to get around JB Hi-Fi's (short-lived) $500 limit on the redemption of TCN gift cards in a single transaction… 

  • Seems like there’s only for him and cinema available now, unfortunate I was keen for a 2nd round.

  • fyi Was a no re discount on any of these cards on Thursday night at Robina, QLD.

  • No discounts in the ACT either..

  • Why does this deal show expired? My local target still has the sign and i assume "remove 7/09" means expires 7th Sept?
