Today (December 3) is the last day to take advantage of Target's offer of a 10% discount on gift cards. Using your Target red credit card, you can purchase gift cards for up to a total of $500 and snail-mail or e-mail those gift cards to friends and family.
Alternatively (or if you don't have friends and family) you can purchase up to a $500 gift card and gift it to yourself. I did this last night. I charged my account $450 to purchase a $500 gift card, and emailed it to myself. The email arrived a couple minutes later. When it did, I added the $500 to my account. Basically a free $50.
You're not cheating the company when you do this. Target knows that customers gift themselves money. It's basically a Christmas gift from the company to regular (Target-credit-card-holding) customers.
This post is basically my Christmas gift to regular TYWKIWDBI readers.
Today only.
Thanks for the offer! As I never shop at Target, it would be wasted on me.
