Re: Target Prices - April 5 - April 11
I did my local Target (Canton, MI) had 4 or 5 Eagle Eye Blu ray's with the coupons attached, so i used one and got Transformers and Narnia Prince Caspian both on blu ray for $19.99.

Yes, I got denied. The BS excuse used by the power-mad manager of the moment was "quantities are limited" meant it was not a normal sale. A week or so earlier the same store had no problem matching a similar Toys R Us promo. So, as always, with Best Deny/Worst Buy, whether you get a PM depends solely on how power-mad the manager or supervisor of the moment is that day. I do honestly believe many of them get their power trip and satisfaction in life from denying people. That's why I recommend ordering from Amazon or going to Target.

Exclusions: The Price Guarantee does not apply to our or our competitors' free offers, limited-quantity items, items for sale November 28th & 29th, 2008, open-box items, clearance items, Outlet Center items, mail-in offers, financing, bundle offers or pricing errors.
Instead of bitching about them denying you (properly) this time, you should be singing their praises for letting you get the (improper) price match last month.
I believe you can PM the Target BOGO sale with the target ad at Best Buy. But be aware because I went to BBy with Target ad last Sunday b/c my local Target was out of stock on most of the BDs that are on sale. I took Transformers and Ironman to the cashier and show the Target ad. They called target and ask them if they have these titles in their stock. Of course the answer was no and they told me that they can't price match if target is out of stock on those titles. ?!?!?!

I can't imagine stores calling another chain more than 10-15 miles away for a pricematch.

The past several days I had been looking for the $10 off coupon on all the Eagle Eye blu rays I had come across, and none really had them. I hadn't seen this post for a few days until now, but at Target and Walmart took a look at the SD version Eagle Eye and almost everyone had the coupon on front. I would almost check the SD version before blu ray if you are still trying to find one.
I also wish to give a BIG THANKS to Leapfish for initially mentioning this coupon!

Re: Target Prices - April 5 - April 11
What do you mean "BS excuse"? Have you read their policy? It clearly states the reasons why your PM was denied.
So number one, their policy does not include B1G1F offers, and number two, it does not apply to limited quantity items.
Isn't of bitching about them denying you (properly) this time, you should be singing their praises for letting you get the (improper) price match last month.
Of course it has to be in stock at the competing store. That is a standard rule of price matching, and described in their policy on the wall at customer service and on the web site.

Does taking the coupon off of the Eagle Eye dvd if you don't plan on buying it seem kinda sketchy to anyone else? I mean I could see if your going to buy it and use it but I couldn't see myself doing that...

It definitely feels sketchy, but on the other hand, the coupon does not say you must purchase Eagle Eye to use the coupon.

Re: Target Prices - April 5 - April 11
Ok... I hope I don't get too flamed for this. I went there all ready to peel off a sticker from Eagle Eye to get Tropic Thunder and Transporter but when I grabbed Eagle Eye I was thwarted by the hard plastic shell target places over their BluRay movies, keeping my prized coupon away from my eager fingers.
Was there a simple solution to this I missed?

Re: Target Prices - April 5 - April 11
Ok, I was at Target last night and wanted to pick up Iron Man and Indiana Jones on Blu-ray, but they were out of Iron Man. I figured no biggie, I'll just order them from Amazon. But then I realized that Target has the Indiana Jones exclusive. I hate to pay the same price for it on Amazon and not get all that Target has with it. I thought that maybe Target might do a raincheck deal for me, but it's a little far for me to drive, and I won't be that way until Monday. Am I really losing anything by buying it from Amazon? I noticed Target had them both for $14.99 on their website, but it looks like they're just using Amazon as a supplier and still charging shipping, even though the order is almost $30. Man, this really bums me out. Maybe I should just pull the trigger on Amazon.

Re: Target Prices - April 5 - April 11
Okay, answered my own question today. Got Punisher and Tropic Thunder for $30 at Best Buy. Did the price match no questions asked. I was shocked; the manager just said they dont normally do this but shell try!

I have a question about the $10 mail-in rebate on Transformers. It says that if you send in the UPC for the Blu-ray and your previous DVD copy, you will get a $10 rebate. Does anyone know if they would accept the UPC for the HD-DVD version or can I only do it with the SD version?

That really works? I figured they would have separate UPC codes. Though I guess that depends on how close the cashier pays attention. But many places, anymore, scan the receipt and the item has to be on the receipt. I'm not sure about Target, though. I went ahead and ordered from Amazon and it should get here tomorrow.
That said, as long as the UPCs match, I don't see a problem with it.
