[Expired][Public Offer] Target.com: Save 10% When You Pay Using Paypal (Max $500 Spend; Stack With 5% Discover; Works On 3p-GC )

Update 8/26/21: Reader seesaw notes that this is actually a public offer by logging into Paypal, going to the Deals tab, and scrolling through the banner ad to find the Target offer which can be saved there. Worked for me that way as well. Updated the link below. Gift cards orders (especially third-party or possibly Visa/eVisa gift cards) are working for many people, see the comments for various data points on what works and best order method. Update 8/29/21: another reader mentioned getting the offer to show after saving a few other useless offers.

Our Verdict

I don’t see this in my PayPal deals, but many others are seeing it (some are only seeing it after checking multiple times). Max this out with a $500 purchase. You can’t use Target REDcard with the PayPal deal; instead use Discover to get 5% back at PayPal this quarter. (Readers in the comments mention a possible alternative to Discover: use the Point debit card for 10% back.)

Lots of people are reporting getting the discount on Target gift cards purchases, but some are saying the order got cancelled and they lost the coupon. Not sure it’s worth using it up on gift cards unless it’s confirmed to be working for that. But it seems to be working for third party gift cards. Readers in the comments report mixed success on Visa gift cards. Also a report of having success when mixing Target gift cards with third party gift cards.
