PSA for those who preordered Red Dead 2 from target buy 2 get 1 Free

[gepet0]

With the change of Red dead's release date.   Target is sending out an email letting you know that the date has changed they are also stating that if you do not click on the approve button your order will be cancelled.   Also make sure your credit card that is on file has an  expiration date is good through October because they periodically check and if it is expired they cancel the order.  

When they auto cancel it sucks because customer service won't help you.  There is always an approve button.  LOL

We wanted to let you know that the release date has changed for the item that you preordered. The new release date is: Friday, Oct 26, 2018.

You may need to approve the new release date. To do this, simply click the button below to see if there's an approve button next to your item. If not, there's nothing else you need to do.

My orders get cancelled for not hitting approve even when I hit approve. Calling CS they will give you the discount again, but it’s a pain in the ass

The one sale before last I tried to fight and they was like the price is 59.99. I would say over 50 percent here probably used that sale for the far cry 5 pre order and red dead. On the sale early last year while I was waiting for my preorder The credit card co sent me the new chip card and I didn't update the profile when they randomly tested and failed they immediately cancelled the order. I told myself I will be more vigilant this time. It is easy to blow off the email.

This was cliff notes from the cancellation email
