[12/2/18: Reposting again as a final reminder. A lot of us have a Target coupon for 20% off to use up now too, so this gift card deal stacks well. I don’t think any portal pays out on Target gift cards.]
[11/29/18: Official press release is out and shows the offer available in-store as well. Updated post below and added direct links.]

Our Verdict
Officially, it’s supposed to be just $300 per person. Some people like hitting this hard in Target stores by doing $300 per transactions if the cashier lets. Last year, Targetwent actually deactivated gift cards from some ultra heavy hitters, we wrote more details in the linked post.
Back in 2016, they did a similar thing to people who ‘rolled’ their Target gift cards, so I’d recommend against doing that (if that’s even still possible).
Target gift card purchases do not earn 5% off with REDcard, so you’ll want to pay with a different everyday credit card. Note: some Targets code as Grocery with Visa/MC.
Depending on your reselling connections, you might be able to find a buyer for Target gift cards at 90%+ making it an easy way to earn some free credit card rewards and maybe a small profit to boot. (It used to be possible to convert the Target gift cards to other gift cards, but that’s no longer an option.)
