Target Raincheck Explanation

[Chris Dillon]

Im having problems figuring this one out. Can someone give me a dummy explanation. Sorry if there was a sticky guys.

It's simple: If a game is on sale for 45% off and it's out of stock, the raincheck for that game lets you buy ANY other game with the same 45% discount, easy as that.

This applies no matter what the amount of the discount is, 10%, 30%, whatever, you get the same discount on any other game.

Let's see if I can make this simple enough.

1) Pick a game that is on sale.

2) Look for it in the display case.

3) If it's gone, ask a sales associate in Electronics for a raincheck.

4) Take the raincheck and you've now essentially got a 45% off coupon.

I still have mine for GTAouble Pack on Xbox. Though I already have it for PS2, I'm wondering if I shouldn't just get it for Xbox anyway. But they've been sold out the couple times I've looked since the sale was over. May end up getting something else for less eventually.

It should also be noted that this is YMMV at this point because Target seems to have gotten wise to this.

Would it be possible to apply a raincheck for a game to game hardware, like a GBA SP?

Most likely NO, but it doesn't hurt to try.

lets say you bring the rain check back a couple weeks later and they now have the game in stock will they still let you substitute it for another game or do you have to get that game? Can you use the rain check on another game on sale? or no?

You can't use it on other sale items unless you get a stupid employee.

An employee at my Target said there was a 45 day limit.

There are no stupid questions.

hopefully this is not directed at me. Cause this is an old topic that has just resurfaced.
