I think the "Returned my Forks DVD and got $9.05 back" part of this transaction, will kill the deal for most people.

OldBoy

nah.

I'm not sure what $5 coupon you are referring to, but I used the redplum $16 coupon on New Moon BD, and $3 coupon for Forks, so I saved $19 plus got the $5 GC back. I have no intention of returning anything. Suggesting that we do that isn't really a legitimate deal...

But I am curious why you got $9.05 back for Forks. I didn't think you could return anything that generated a free gift card without having to pay for the GC in full, but based on your amount, it sounds like they pro-rate it...

I asked my friend who works at target if this would work and he was told that at the store he works at you had to return the entire "twilight package" (the gift card, DVD and twilight in forks) to make an exchange.

newginafets

are you assuming that everybody has gift card? and where can i get the coupon?

Trevor

He is wrong. The receipt says that you must return the entire package, but if you return part of it the system automatically pro-rates it.
No, everyone who buys the package at Target gets a $5 giftcard.

The coupons are all over this site, look for them in the various twilight, coupon, and redplum threads.

Why don't you use the $16.00 off redplum.com coupon and get it for a lot less?

Trevor

That coupon is meant for when you buy all four titles shown. At most stores it won't scan automatically, and many will say that it is fraud if you use it for one title.

OldBoy

and can't you not use the GC on the same item it was given for? what a misleading/stupid original post.

On my receipt it says:
Refund value for BD Twilight $16.66
Refund value for Twilight $8.32

I have a question, a friend picked these up for me and I actually wanted the 3 disc instead of blu. Can I return New Moon BD without receipt and get 3 disc or does Target require receipts? Just asking because I figured the price might go up this week.

Mr.Briggs

From personal experience every Target I've ever shopped at won't even let you in the door to return something (especially electronics) without a receipt. YMMV

dkedvd

I've (and many others on here) have used that coupon multiple times. Target & Walmart for me (6 times). But if you don't want to save $16.00 that's up to you. And its not fraud. Its a badly worded coupon. If it said "buy all for of these titles together and save $16.00" then I would say yes. But just says "Save $16.00 when you buy" and listing the four titles. Sure you can put two and two together and figure out what they want you to do but since it doesn't actually say that you NEED to buy all four its poor wording on their part. Even the manger at Target said to me that there was no way of telling from what was written on the coupon whether or not you HAD to buy all four or could just use it per title.

We've returned stuff, hassle-free, without receipts numerous times at Target. We paid with a debit card, and they simply swipe the same card to issue the credit. Never had any type of problem.

SPRBD

That's different. If they have the purchasing debit or credit card, they can use it to look up the transaction for you.

Trevor

I've never seen a Target where they have anyone at the door, and I've been to at least 30 all over the country.

And they even have it written into their policy that you can return things without a receipt.

Trevor

Why do you need six copies?

But anyway, I was posting the obvious. The coupon is meant for all four titles purchased together, stores will possibly not get reimbursed for them, so if they want to refuse them, we shouldn't have any problem with that.

Also, many people will morally refuse to even try to use the coupon. And we shouldn't be upset with them.

Personally, I used it once, but wouldn't argue if they declined it.

People who try to take advantage of obvious misprints or glitches in the system, and then complain about stores trying to protect themselves really make me mad. Not addressing you personally, just the idiots with the sense of entitlement.

WMAangel

I don't think he meant he bought six copies of the same flick, but that he has used the $16 off coupon a total of six times (on different items, since four titles are shown for it)....maybe he got Astroboy on DVD one time, the Bandslam DVD the next time, then Astroboy on BD, then different store exclusives for New Moon on DVD and BD??

BuckNaked2k

So to be clear, you were out the door for $11 with 2 movies and a $5 gift card?

BuckNaked2k

Wow. I just printed that coupon out and I can't imagine my Target will let me get away with that.

The titles are clearly separated by commas, which in my mind, means all 4 must be bought simultaneously.

Of course it won't stop me from trying.

thelonelyisland

No, Twilight 3-Disc Only and $5 gift card.

Twilight & Forks: $30 [for both]
Redplum: $5 off
Giftcard: $5
Total: $20
Return Forks: $11 (for New Moon 3-Disc)

Travis McClain

Wait a sec. I'll forgo even asking why you would use it six times. I just want to know how you printed it six times. Don't you get an "already printed" message from their site?

Lucky. I've only had to return a few things, and I swear I think I would have an easier time going through airport security with a turban on my head and an AK-47 strapped to my back.

Also, I'd like to point out that the $5.00 and $10.00 coupons use the wording "Plus one/any two of the following," but the $16.00 coupon does not. It's implied, of course, but for some reason they didn't spell it out the way they did with the lesser-valued coupons.

dkedvd

Why? There were four titles so that's already four and my twin cousins b-days were this weekend got so that's two more. And to print 6 coupons I used my comp, my wife's comp, & my work comp.

Yes, its strange. But good for us.

kenbenobi

Yes and no. I could have paid $11 out the door if I bought the SD, but I bought the BD so it was $16 out the door...
