Saw this at Slickdeals. Apparently Target sent an email to their customers about this Buy 1 Get 1 Free on Zelda Link's Awakening or any Switch games plus you get a $10 giftcard as well so check your email if you got one.

In-store only.

Note: Reports on slickdeals you can also do this too with an online chat rep.

Fyi, on my credit card my initial pending charge has now been broken up 3 times, 2 posted and another 1 still pending. If that final one posts at current amount, it will exactly equal the full price for both games. I'm hoping at some point an actual credit gets applied here.
 
Mine is doing the same thing. The fact that it’s pending probably means it won’t go through. If it does, I’ll for sure be disputing since my receipt shows a different price.

I used the target card. My order is now displaying for the correct amount

I'm in the same situation - my Target account showed the credit immediately after the chat agent had it applied (and about 2 minutes before the credit email confirmation arrived).

 
I received my shipped games.

Anyway, I also tried again a little harder and spoke to one of the specialists over the phone who was pretty in the know about the whole event. Apparently, there was directions sent out the first day, but whatever they were, they seem to have changed since. This is probably why we started to get the reps trying to send people to the stores around Monday, but then changed to the hard "it's a mistake" copypasta around Tuesday night. For the most part, it sounded like it was just a big clusterfuck of confusion on their end.

And... I may have cost someone their job. Oops.

 
My chat experience didn't go well. I believe they now have automatic responses set up in the chat. 

Hazel: Thanks for reaching out to us with this issue.
I apologize for any confusion our email has caused.


Hazel: It was actually an in store promotion. But due to an error in the email it was taken as an online BOGO offer.
Hence, since the offer is no more valid, I will not be able to honor the promotion.


Me: Oh, ok. I was wondering if it was an error or this was just a good promotion to sell more units.

Me: Alright. Thank you for your time!

 Hazel: Pleasure is mine. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Hazel: It was an error email, but however we do not honor the offer.

Me: I don't believe so. I'll still browse around online. Thanks! 

Hazel: Thanks for visiting Target.com. I hope you'll visit us again soon!

Did you guys use the target red card or another type of credit card?
Another type of card. I’m so confused by targets backwards way of doing everything. I have one invoice that says 127, a pick up that says 58, I’m being charged 68, then the online receipt shows 59. The last 59 is still pending. So we’ll see. This is definitely turning into a headache though.

I still have that ghost pending amount showing as well. Whether or not it falls off means the difference in paying 50% or 100%. I'm hesitant to even open these games before the final charges settle.
 
Yeah I am very curious what the final charge will be as well. Currently all the different prices I have are what the agent said, what my online invoice says, what the refund email said (and at the bottom of that the price is even listed different) the charge is $10 less than anything else but I don’t see another charge for $10... I feel like there is another price but I don’t remember. Plus when i did a receipt it shows full price on the game. I’m thinking my charge is only half of what I’m actually going to pay since I did a pre order but again I am not sure. Im definitely waiting to open anything and I don’t mind a little extra work because this is a deal that will never be repeated. I just want to know what I’m actually paying in the end :p
 
Hmm. After looking at my cc charges, it looks like I got charged $74 for b1g1 plus $10 promo gift card for the in store pickup. They only refunded me $60. I was charged $54 and then two extra charges of $10 the next day; these are all posted charges and not pending.

I guess they charged for the gift card, but should I talk to a rep or just leave it be since I participated in a weird glitch. I only did it once, unlike SD peeps. Also, is it possible to return just one game? I heard people exchange them, but I already opened one copy for myself. I was planning on selling the other copy to a friend.

All of my orders charged for the correct amount on the order page. If you're a redcard user just check your pending charges they aren't gonna charge you more if you got the refund email stop worrying because it'll reflect on your bank statements. Worst case just return the games lol. All of my charges from Sunday posted the correct prices.

You got two $59.99 games and a $10 gc for $74. Be happy and move along.
 
The 10 dollar gift card is weird, you are paying for it but they take the 10 off your order so it evens out. Sometimes it doesn’t though my games were 62 and the gift card 10 so the invoice was 72. Guess I paid for the card ahaha

FYI - if you did it even once, you’re an SD peep.

Just leave it alone. Returning one game is possible, but if you show them the receipt they won't give you the full $60 back for the game, just half of what you paid. You'd have better luck returning it unopened without a receipt, but that would make you a "sd peep" for sure.
 
What's a sd peep?

Soulless bastards who would prefer getting chat reps fired so they can buy 2 switch lites for $200 over interacting with another human being with any shred of integrity.

We have a few of those types here, actually. But we like to pretend that we're better folk than sd peeps on the whole.
 
Yyyoooo that's insane lol

Another convert haha. Nobody is losing their job over this, otherwise they'd fire the entire staff that has allowed this for days. Do whatever you need to do regardless of the moral police here that think their holier-than-thou way of life is higher ground. At the end of the day, you only answer to yourself and that's your god damn right.

Couldn’t agree more, people acting all high and mighty over someone else getting a better deal than them but you know at the end of the day if they could do the same thing they probably would

I get where people come from, everyone is raised different or has different values. It's when they impose those on others; that's why religion is a disease to me. Holding it above people like they'll have to answer for their deeds. Get over yourselves. . .

 
I can confirm that at least in Rockville, MD I was able to do the deal in store. Told the associate at electronics tonight about the promo and even told him about it being on CAG--I think he actually checked the thread on here to confirm! His workaround was to give me half off each of the games (Link and Mario Tennis Aces). He also said he didn't think the other associate would have done it for me, so this is most likely YMMV, but at least it is some confirmation of it working in the wild.

(I forgot to get the associate's name, but if you are out there, you rock.)

I'm seeing a lot of codes for links awakening coming up for sale on here. Was this error original for a digital code ?

This sounds like it was written by an SJ (aka, Super Jealous).
 
Did anyone who got the back ordered email about dragon quest ask to get it changed for store pickup
YMMV

Somebody on SD said they were given a $10 gift card for the delay.

I asked them to change mine to pickup, and they said they can't, but they can cancel the old order (refunding me $30+tax on that order since I already picked up LA), and then adjust a new order with the same discount.

 
I was only charged about $33 for astral chain but not yet for Luigi's mansion 3. So I'm not supposed to get charged for LM3 yet until it releases right?

Yes, this is correct.

 
Great deal for me. I was able to get 3X Link's Awakening, Luigi's Mansion, Daemon X Machina, and Kirby Star Allies. I sold 2x Link's Awakening locally for $50 each, and I returned the last copy to Target for Dragon Quest. Daemon X Machina should be delivered soon, and I'll get Luigi's Mansion at the end of the month.

So basically you got three good games (and they were all Links Awakening).
 
I'll buy anyone's DQ for $30 if available

Good luck with that one, cowboy. I'd wager that those that were able to capitalize on this deal (getting DQ as one of the titles) aren't interested in selling it at 'cost' when they could offload it at much higher value, closer to MSRP. That is, providing that they're interested in selling in the first place.

Personally, selling was not a consideration as I picked up four games that I plan to play and keep.

Exactly! I have Link's Awakening Collector's Edition in the mail so I didn't need another copy of it. Switch games hardly drop in price so I was happy to pick up those games with this deal.

Meanwhile I am still waiting for dragon quest to ship
Mine is "backordered". I hope it ships. I think it will. One thing to watch for with target backorders is that they sometimes send out an email with an updated ship date and a button you need to click to indicate you still want the item. I have had a few things cancelled because I did not see the email and ended up having my item get cancelled.

I'm guessing with this email BOGO kerfuffle, they probably ran out of their initial DQXI allotment and are just waiting to get some more in
