Target preorder : Get $100 gift card plus $200 gift card for smartphone trade in (specific models)

[ctychick]

They didn't have them and didn't know when they were getting them. He did say, however, that they "should" have had them today, so at least they are expecting them. I have a second pre-order reservation another local Target, but I'm not going to bother going there.

I got an email from Target saying my phones are ready, but the cell phone guy isn't in until 11am (Arizona) so not sure if it's actually there.

Hi XXXXX.

My guess is they are receiving stock today just like everyone else. Hopefully we can pick up our phones tomorrow. Oh well - waited this long, what's another day. Especially when I am getting $100 + $200 trade + 256 card.

Don't know about the card or watch. I have a feeling by the time target gets me my phone the promotion will have sold out

Has anyone noticed that the additional $200 offer no longer shows on Target's website. Was this offer only applicable to pre-orders?

Well the good thing about target is that they are just like bestbuy when it comes to the free gift promotion. They usually fufill the order in store which means you don't have to wait the usual 6+ weeks.

Haven't heard anything from the target I pre-ordered at but called other targets around me. Got a lot of sass but the 4th one I called was nice and said yes they had them, and I asked them to hold one for me and he said he would and took my name. So start calling your targets and hope for a decent human working one of them

I just got an email from Target saying my pre-order is ready for pickup. I probably can get by there until later today.

Just got my email from the other Target!

Update. Taget called and emailed. Pickup my phone a got $300 in gift cards. Took all over 30 minutes. Only snafu is the $200 trade in credit could not be used to reduce the price of the phone on ATT next. It's fine. We spend like $500 a month at target anyway. Really smooth. They actually had the phone this am but didn't know where it was.

For the phone exchange do you just hand it over to them at the time? Thanks.

Yes, it was a piece of cake. I paid $75 at a hawk shop for an LG G2 Sprint. No questions asked at Target. $125 net to me.

 

[aalcant2]

what area are you from?

 

[Pippinsky]

So every time I called the target mobile where I preordered the call was disconnected. I call target national who got the local target mobile rep on the phone, who told me they got two sprint phones and five att phones total, inclusive of preorders.
My thing is why sell a preorder and then not have the stock. It's b s.

 

[clerk]

Pittsburgh.

Talked to my target, they only got 1 silver ATT model in. He said they had no idea when the others will be shipped as they showed as back ordered. Thanks AT&T! Maybe if you didn't have to use your garbage packaging, you'd be able to ship on time!

 

[jamesaru]

OK, looks like our Target only has 2 ATT phones right now so he's hoping more will arrive soon. We'll see.

 

[buzzy3970]

Has anyone been able to take advantage of the 200 dollar GC by doing a 2 year contract extension over device payments with Verizon? Trying to see which option would be better for me.

My Target just called me and told me that Samsung had a shipping issue and no phones showed up today. Told me that they expect them to show up tomorrow.
