Share deals, target deals... Don't fight. Be adults.
It's (Strikers) on sale at Amazon and BestBuy, though only 20 off.Was lamenting no Mario Kart 8 before, wish they'd add Golf and Strikers too
Worked for me - got Super Mario Odyssey yesterday and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe earlier today for $9 each before tax!Gamestop has the Mario games on sale for $40 new. A price match + circle coupon would make them $10 each. I'm gonna try my luck today lol.
I added the game to my cart and then used the chat function to ask a rep to price match to $40, but was told it could not since there is already a $30 promotion for the game. Is it just YMMV or is there a specific order this should be done?I priced matched Super Mario 3D World to Best Buy for $50.99, then with the $30 Target Circle discount I paid $20.99.
They aren’t supposed to stack cart wheel deals and price matching you kind of have to hope the person at the register doesn’t care.I added the game to my cart and then used the chat function to ask a rep to price match to $40, but was told it could not since there is already a $30 promotion for the game.

Probably wario64. You'd be surprised how big of a deal poster that account is.Someone on twitter tweeted a picture of wild hearts being $15 on ps5. Guess Twitter is another place like here and slickdeals to see deals on games.
And SD killed it. Too many of them were try to PM online and get the $30 off. So Target just made it ineligible.Mario Kart 8 Deluxe has been added to the $30 off Mario coupon
once it was posted by wario it was overAnd SD killed it. Too many of them were try to PM online and get the $30 off. So Target just made it ineligible.
is that why we can’t place orders anymore for shipping or pick up? I see the games like odyssey and 3D world “out of stock” but I just went in store and they had at least 5-6 copies of each.We all know it's possible. And we all also know that employees are not supposed to price match when it can be combined with a bundle sale or a Circle offer.
It's cheating the system, and it's against their company policy. Try it if you want, but there's no reason to discuss it publicly. So that other people don't come by here and think they are entitled to that offer at the store. mods delete posts and ban people over this on other sties.
Any cashier should see that $9.99 final value on a full-priced first-party Nintendo game and know that that's not supposed to happen. This is the kind of thing that makes supervisors angry and can get regular workers in trouble if someone catches it.
Cheating the system like this also leads to us not getting these Circle deals like this again in the future. So keep it to yourself.
I feel like these discussions never end well. I feel it’s best to leave it at to each they’re own.I have a different take. We all have our own sense of where the line is for things like this. I'm aware that selling $9 Mario games is not what they were trying to do. But I also believe it was their responsibility to set up their system to process these things in compliance with their policies. I do feel a duty to refrain from willfully deceiving anyone. I feel no duty whatsoever to correct a large corporation's mistake, nor to refrain from benefiting from it. I will not lie to any employee about what I'm trying to do, I know I'm not entitled to any such deal, and if they decline I thank them kindly for their help and I leave. If they know what I'm asking for and they give it to me, then I'll take my $9 Mario game home and I'll sleep just fine. The other day I went to a yard sale, and the guy had Pokemon Crystal for $1. I gave him a dollar for it and left. I suppose I could have told him that the game was worth a lot more than $1, but I didn't, and I don't think I did anything wrong.
I also don't see any point whatsoever in trying to quell the discussion, as if anything any of us nerds writes in a video game internet forum has any effect on anything. The cat is clearly already out of the bag so to speak. It would also just be pretty funny if Target execs were monitoring this forum and the post that tipped them off and killed the deal was yours talking about how we shouldn't post about it so no one will find out.
Yup. Didn’t get anything else like a $10 off $60Anyone else get a $5 circle earnings reward option for ordering/scheduling a drive up delivery?
That makes sense. I was starting to wonder how all the Mario games were oos suddenly. Thought morons were hoarding the Mario stuff like they were collecible - lol - Nintendo sure has trained these idiot consumers well.is that why we can’t place orders anymore for shipping or pick up? I see the games like odyssey and 3D world “out of stock” but I just went in store and they had at least 5-6 copies of each.

I relooked it was someone that replied under him. Also I looked at his tweets he is really out there tweeting deals alot. Worth a follow and better thing to pay attention to then the chaos on Twitter these days.Probably wario64. You'd be surprised how big of a deal poster that account is.
Guess I am returning Mario Golf. Amazon has it $10 cheaper. Should have known better.Grabbed last copy of Wild Hearts for $16 at the Pinole store. Also pm'd Mario Golf for $39.99. That was probably my buy point on it and I missed it in March.
He certainly finds most deals on games. Occasionally he posts food deals too. Definitely worth following him and Occasionally checking dealseeker2u since he posts about Amazon warehouse deals Occasionally that are good finds like 34$ ps5 controllersI relooked it was someone that replied under him.

Yup sometime yesterday afternoon.Did they remove Mario Kart from the circle offer?
Wario was actually a mod here.How does someone who joined CAG in 2010 not know of Wario, who used to post CAG deals before splitting off?
Is it not a troll post?
I very rarely bother to look to see the name of the people who post, so I understand how this could happen.How does someone who joined CAG in 2010 not know of Wario, who used to post CAG deals before splitting off?

It wasn’t just the Switch games, people were combining a Beats offer with PM and a computer Pm with offer to get those for dirt cheap. I don’t think they’ll do offers like these via circle offers in the future.Target pulling the plug on the whole offer because of people combining it with price matching is funny as hell, nice work everyone
I didn't know they used to post here let alone were a mod.Wario was actually a mod here.
He ran the CAG Twitter for a long time. Then they had a falling out over affiliate links and he went off on his own.I didn't know they used to post here let alone were a mod.
I was supposed to know that??Wario was actually a mod here.
What was the beats offer?It wasn’t just the Switch games, people were combining a Beats offer with PM and a computer Pm with offer to get those for dirt cheap. I don’t think they’ll do offers like these via circle offers in the future.
people were price matching amazons $130 beats and combining the target circle $80 off beats making it only $50 for a pair of $200 beats.What was the beats offer?
https://www.cheapassgamer.com/user/770-wario64/I was supposed to know that??
weird.
Who is (was) it?
It's not DealSeeker4U; he has his own Twitter handle. It's not Thorbahn; he still runs CAG Twitter.
Not bad. The deal is better today. Walked into a target today with a customer buying beats right as I walked into the electronics department. I casually mentioned “getting in on the deal eh”? Verbatim the guy goes “yeah I heard about this deal from twitter about combining deals.” It was an employee on his day off, in street clothes, buying a pair of black solo beats. Was $30 after PM and circle offer.people were price matching amazons $130 beats and combining the target circle $80 off beats making it only $50 for a pair of $200 beats.

It's not weird or unique. As per recent comments in this thread there seems to be a sale/clearance going on for various Electronic Arts titles.Here's a weird one... I'm on holiday now and near the one and only target for two hours in any direction. Very remote and new target with small inventory. It seems many sports games are $16, any console. Dead Space PS5 was $27 while the target website shows as $35.
What's odd is the specific pricing lower in this remote target. They were not yellow clearance tags. They were marked with general white/red sale tags except with lower prices than advertised online.It's not weird or unique.

They are showing that price at several targets here in the Bay Area. I suspect it's mostly nationwide this week.What's odd is the specific pricing lower in this remote target.

How does one verify an in store clearance price now that brickseek doesn’t show it anymore? I’ve been traveling up the east coast yesterday and today. I found one store with these headphones and it was still full price. Today there’s one more store showing stock and I have no idea of the price. Don’t want to drive out of the way to find it’s also MSRP.My Target has the $300 Sony inzone h9 headset on clearance for $90. And the $100 H4 I believe for $30
Is the target Circle offer for Beats expired? I can't find it anywhere in my offers.Not bad. The deal is better today.

all the offers last week were promoted as circle week i believe, so they all have expired.Is the target Circle offer for Beats expired? I can't find it anywhere in my offers.
Okay thanks. I missed out. Life will go on.all the offers last week were promoted as circle week i believe, so they all have expired.
Coupons will always be abused so cheat early, cheat often. Nobody was complaining when BB and TRU were giving games away for free via coupon abuse (and a fair deal of company incompetence).We all know it's possible. And we all also know that employees are not supposed to price match when it can be combined with a bundle sale or a Circle offer.
It's cheating the system, and it's against their company policy. Try it if you want, but there's no reason to discuss it publicly. So that other people don't come by here and think they are entitled to that offer at the store. mods delete posts and ban people over this topic on other sites.
Any cashier should see that $9.99 final value on a full-priced first-party Nintendo game and know that that's not supposed to happen. This is the kind of thing that makes supervisors angry and can get regular workers in trouble if someone catches it.
Cheating the system also leads to us not getting these Circle deals like this again in the future. It will also get the generous price matching policy killed eventually. So keep it to yourself.
