Haven't seen it mentioned, but FYI.

One of my local Target stores had the WWE 15 preorder cards out, but they do not work with the promo. I had to run all the way back to electronics at closing to grab 2 more cards to take $30 off my order.

 
I'm in need of a game to pair with my fighter within for the $15 bonus at gamestop. Madden and ghosts are not options since my target has been cleared out of those. Any suggestions?

you don't need pre-order cards to pre-order in store. find the giant kiosk thingie, always in the games area, its touch screen interactive and you can use it to spit out a pre-order ticket for any game that you take up to the cashier and pay $5-full for your pre-order, which will qualify for any RZ bonuses.

Went in today and found the kiosk. I didn't even realize it was anything more than a tv. Haha I walked past it several times and stared at it before I realized what it was. Took a while for the cashier to figure out how to do the preorder even though it says on the ticket. In the end it all worked out. Thanks!

Battlefield 4 for XB1 (PMed to Walmart.com's $30.57 price) with its $17 base at GS?

 
Thief (whether you want it for yourself or for any trade-in deals) is $29.99 for all systems on Amazon.

Seriously considering getting it for $15 at this point.

Unless you have other reasons to go there or be in the same area, don't forget to factor in the gas for driving to Target. :whistle2:

Thankfully I could walk to the one near my house. I'm pretty grateful that I have a Best Buy, Wal-Mart, TRU, Gamestop, and a Target all within a few miles. Otherwise it'd probably be all online purchases for me!

Thanks. My local store is cleaned out of that one too. I'm gonna try a target about 30 minutes away that I've never been to. Gotta make it worth it for an hour of driving
 
Any deals on the last of us ps4? Keep checking amazon but price stays the same. I had to try 3 different targets to get madden for 9. Knack is another game on sale through amazon. So is that nba live comes out to like 5 bucks after 15 through preorder.
 
Decided to buy a few more copies of Madden and Battlefield and was able to move the last of my credit from the triple trade in promo. Gotta think they'll wise up to this and fix it sooner than later, but then again people have been saying that all along, so who knows.. Wish there was an easy way to move Best Buy / Gamestop credit back to Target if some more opportunities arise in the future, but I'm pretty pumped about the deals I've been able to get in on up to this point

 
Just and FYI... Someone posted that Sonic Generations for 3DS is a good PM at Target

I did it just now and the preorder card did NOT take the $15 off. It seems that way because the in store price for Sonic Generations was $30.
 
Guys I found this in targets return policy: Open music, movies, video games, and software cannot be returned, but may be exchanged for the same title on the same or different gaming platform

This means that if you want to exchange the lower priced XB1 games for their higher-priced PS4 counterparts you can just open the game and exchange it.

Edit: Word of warning though I haven't tried this, but I will try it for PvZ: Garden Warfare next week

in order for the game to get the 15 off. it originally has to be priced at 39.99 and up. so if you price match it and throw in the pre order card. the promo will work since the computer still reads the original price but give you the competitors price.

EDIT:
bravely default is 33.57 on amazon. at target with promo 18.87
mario party 3ds 27.97 on amazow. at target with promo 12.97
yoshi island 33.57. at target with promo 18.57.

Do you have to talk to the customer service/returns folks to get the games price matched to Amazon prices?

I did, and this was just to get the online price from targets own website. fortunately, the supervisor/manager was a younger chick who was cool and lemme use the preorder cards as well. the csr told me normally they only allow one or the other, and i was lucky to get that specific manager who let me do it, which was awesome as my friends always make fun of my bad luck and refer to me as the unlucky one.

kinda odd honoring their online price is considered an actual "price match", but regardless im just thankful the manager was nice enough and/or didn't really care. btw, this was on COD ghosts for X1 whose online price was $25, while in-store was $60. really, who is gonna pay full price for ghosts? its $23 on amazon and recently went as low as $19 last month.

So correct me if I'm wrong here.

Right now Madden 25 on XB1 is marked at 29.99 at Target. It's 22.98 on Amazon, but it's from a third party so I'm assuming I won't be able to use the price match. This will still qualify for the $15 off because it was previously listed at 39.99.

So I will attempt to use the Amazon price match but assuming it gets denied, what will this ring up at? Is it going to be $15 off the 29.99 price or the 39.99 price?

Exactly. The total will be around $16

So I should be able to get Madden 25 XB1 x2 and trade it in to Best Buy for $50 TIV plus $10 towards Madden 15 PS4. After pre-ordering Madden 15 PS4, $32 should net me Madden 15 PS4, plus $10 RZ. I don't have GCU but still a pretty sweet deal. Thanks guys.

I price matched it to Walmart since it was $25.75 i think. I didn't wanna be that guy even more by asking them to price match a third party on amazon

I have been looking for a Wii U recently and haven't been keeping up with all the deals.  Is the Toysrus Skylanders bundle for $250 a good deal or should i wait for something else?  How much do you think i can get for all the Skylanders stuff if i sold them on craigslist or something?  Thanks

A lot of stores sell the Skylanders bundle for $250 so no it is not a good deal. If you don't mind a refurbished go with Nintendo.com $220. Cowboom might have a good offer for a 8gb on the daily deal for $150 time to time. If you want new that much selling the Skylander stuff will net you around $30 depending on where you sell it. You might just be able to buy one with a $50 gift card or $50 discount and get a game you might actually want as well. Also Toysrus is clearing out the Zelda Bundle for $200 at least in my area.

Principle? What principle is there in getting the dollar back off something you shouldn't be allowed to do in the first place.
Click to expand...
As I said before you won't get the full dollar back since it says on the receipt what value the return is worth which when using certain promotions using Target's system make the items go down a certain percentage. Arguing to get the full dollar back would be a dick move. Not everyone double dips with the promotion and some people have the rule of conduct of spending as least as possible.

Well a lot of people had success with it in the past couple of days but currently it might have changed. Honestly just PM Walmart if you want the PS3 version $19.20 currently or Xbox One.

I feel like a dumbass. The store near me does have a kiosk. I pass by it everytime I'm at best buy. It's somewhat hidden. I thought it was just a screen showing games. I'm looking at the pre order cards and see a receipt on the floor. I grab it and see it's a pre order receipt. I notice right next to the pre order cards is the kiosk. I never paid too much attention to it because its about 4.5 feet high. I notice on the screen is a pre order for destiny. On the side of the kiosk is a sticker explaining how to preorder.

Edit: I got the ultimate edition of madden. I put 5 down but on my receipt it says I still own $70. I have gcu, so should the price be lower on the pre order receipt or does gcu only take affect when I actually buy the game. I had a new cashier and he kept having trouble doing the pre order.

Thank you for the reply. I was looking for a new one but a refurbished one from Nintendo does sound interesting. I will have to check my local Toysrus and see if they have any Zelda bundles left, that would be great. If i can't find one I hope one of the retailers have a good deal in the next coming weeks

Thanks

You might be better off posting this in the request area here

http://www.cheapassgamer.com/forum/13-deal-requests-advice/

Your area might also help pinpoint a good local deal as well.

 
was able to trade in a second batch of 3 of madden 25 (XBone) to best buy. Couple hours later I realized one of the didn't received a $15 discount from the target promo. Oh well, already have a nice fund accumulated for a ps4 as well as some credit set aside for holiday gifts and fall semester textbooks.

 
Well, pretty good day today.  I traded 3 :ps4: and 3 :xb1: Madden 25 in separate transactions so I got 2 coupons.  3 of those Maddens were from the Target promo and the other 3 were from my B2G1 renewal at GS.  Also got :xb1: Lego Hobbit and Lego Movie at Target with price match/preorder promo for $16 each.  Those will trade to GS tomorrow for $28 each.  Success!

 
I have some gamestop credit and looking at last of us for ps4. I assume it was marked wrong because the sticker on the box showed 30 used. But if you buy used does it have all the dlc? I didn't know if it was a psn voucher or dlc on game
 
Well busted by jr detective. Girl rings up games. Manager over rides price and leaves. Then sherlock holmes from 2 registers away spots my 2 pre prder cards and comes to stop the transaction. Says the cards can only be used if thr game is 39.99 and price matching exploits it. Told him to takr cod off and un price madden. Then he rings madden up 29.99 and takes 15 off with the card.....
