Random question. So I preordered 3 games during target's last b2g1 deal (none have shipped). If I cancel one will the prices for the other 2 adjust or will they still apply a discount to each game as usual? I've done the order/cancel trick before but not solely on preorders.

The discounted prices of the remaining games will not change.

I don't typically eat sugary cereal but.....this stuff is honestly my favorite. It is excellent. Found boxes on clearance yesterday for $1.49 so those should last through the expiration in September ha. 231-000-876

In this circumstance I kinda wish I wasn't dieting or else I'd stock up on clearance junk food. I remember several years ago I bought about a dozen 4th of july pop rock oreos that were less than a dollar a pack and they lasted me well into October.

I'm wondering if anyone here could help me out. So I applied for the Red Card a few weeks ago and received a $40 promo code. Once I received it, it says that Switch hardware and games are excluded. Smh.
I know it's a dumb question, but there's no work around this, right? I'm bummed because that's the main reason I even bothered to apply for the card in the first place.

Only workaround is chat with customer service and ask them to apply it

Speaking as a Switch owner who has followed these things in the Nintendo landscape, I can tell you that Switch hardware and games are generally excluded from these kinds of promotions at Target.
** Note that based on in my experiences in the past "hardware" has actually meant "consoles", so a coupon or promo like the one you mentioned may work on first-party accessories like Joy-Cons or the Pro Controller. The last time I could verify this was awhile ago for me though.
Edit: On a side note, when they run their periodic Buy 2 Get 1 Free promo on video games (probably due for one soon) it's only select Switch games that are usually eligible. And rarely first-party ones unless they slip through the cracks early on.

I don't know a work around, but you can actually use the $40 off promo twice. Scan the barcode for instore and use the code for online. Not sure if you are aware about the double dip.I'm wondering if anyone here could help me out. So I applied for the Red Card a few weeks ago and received a $40 promo code.

So based on history next week should be the B2G1 week on video games, but the ad is showing B1 get 50% 2nd. Inflation at work?
It's a multitude of factors. Inflation is surely one of them, but perhaps moreso is the growing number of folks who don't buy physical media anymore. Physical video games, like bluray/4k movies, have always been either loss leaders or thin-margin products, often meant to help drive store traffic.
This is becoming less so every generation, with the last bringing the tipping point.
We might still see a B2G1, but guessing it'll be limited to BF. Either way, B2G1 sales on this stuff is going to go away.
B1G1 half off isn't as good, but it's still better than other retailers. Don't be surprised when these disapper, too, because they will.

What happens if you buy an eligible item, use the $40 promo, then return the item? Is the $40 lost, given back to you as a promo, or given to you as a gift card? Does the fine print say?

Good question. I just saw it as well. Very sad that it's not B2G1 free like usual. Unless the base price of the items is already discounted then BOGO 50% off is going to seem weak. MEH.

I could be wrong but I suspect it would simply be forfeited.

Wasn’t there another B2G1 sale around Easter last year? I could be wrong, but I feel like it’s also appeared around that time period as well. Hoping for one around then, given that more Q1 releases will be out. Also got my eye on a few smaller indie releases dropping physically late this month and into next (Signalis, Prodeus, Asterigos).
Perhaps a B2G1 delay at this point also gives stores a continued opportunity to restock/recover from the holiday season too. Because I don’t know about anyone else, but my local Target’s game section is still mostly empty. Whether that’s intentional or not on the part of Target corporate remains to be seen.

BOGO 50% excludes games published by Nintendo/Sony but Horizon Forbidden West is one of the games advertised. Lol.
Boiler plate text is boiler plate text. There's been a lot of 'it says this is excluded, but it's not' in prior ones, as far as like, Sony or non-Nintendo P stuff.

As far as the B2G1 free promo goes, your recollection is correct. Last year we got such a promo in February, April, June, and then November.
That's an interesting point about Target store stock as I've also seen a ton of empty slots in the video game display cases at multiple locations all throughout January, though it begs the question of whether that's different than any other year, including last year.

Looks like Target is finally clearing out some games again. Hope several of those make it to 70% off.
I have to wonder whether it's more of an isolated case. In my area at least the annual 50% off clearance on select games seemed to have ended like a week ago on Jan 28th. As mentioned here previously, it felt somewhat like slim pickings this year (especially for Switch) since they had already salvaged a bunch of titles months earlier prior to the holiday season.

Pretty garbage. Not many pre orders if at all. No wanted dead, hogwarts, FFXV. Just went with dead space for $52. No sword and fairy, SF6, Star Wars.. thinkin about crisis core but I’m guessing it’ll drop to $30 or less eventually plus I want the steelbook so

I bought 2 copies of FF7 Remake for PS5 for $70 each like a month ago. Both new and sealed and within return policy. If I take them both back to the store, would they do a return rebuy with b1g50% off? Sold out online but it says it qualifies for the promo

Possibly as long as it’s within the return window
