The following list is of current Gift Card Deals that require a Target Coupon in order to get the deal. These are not available in the store without the coupon. I believe all Target Qs are regional, so if you did not get them in your area- you can always use a clipping service. I reccomend My Coupon Hunter or TheCouponClippers or you can search for coupons on eBay to see if any of these sources have what you need. You can also try trading coupons here on the site on the Trades Page.
THE FOLLOWING DEALS REQUIRE A TARGET COUPON & ARE NOT IN-STORE DEALS

There are other great ways to earn Target & other Gift Cards with very minimal effort. These are a couple of my faves:
SWAGBUCKS is an awesome way to earn prizes just by searching the web. Their search engine toolbar is easy to install and you just search the web as you normally would. The amount of swagbucks you are awarded for searches varies, but it doesn’t take much to earn yourself a gift card. Once you sign up you can refer your friends and earn even more! Go HERE to join & find out what other great prizes you can get.
MyPoints is another easy way to earn gift cards & prizes. They also have a search toolbar to download, but I enjoy swagbucks too much to give them up. But there are plenty of other ways to earn points. Mostly I just read e-mails which yield 5 points each, but there are surveys and registrations for larger point earnings. You can also refer friends to join and earn points when they sign up. You can sign up for free by clicking on their logo. You can earn a Target Gift Card for 1,550 Points but there are tons of prizes to choose from as well.
Laura- I am a Target employee and I am so angry hearing that you had such a terrible time at one of our stores. I am actually a cashier and can assure you that the bags DO NOT have to say target on them. That has got to me the most ridiculous thing I’ve heard in awhile. I really just don’t understand some of these managers and cashiers. So many of them forget they wouldn’t have a job if it weren’t for the customer. I always figured I am there getting paid to care for our guests, and I always make sure to do that to the best of my ability. I love getting customers with coupons because well, I’m a coupon fanatic myself. However even before I got into coupons I still never got irritated with a guest who wanted to use Q’s. I mean it seems like common sense to me to want to save money!
And as far as getting something for free…the thing is these stores get reimbursed so what do they care? It’s like some of these people delight in not being able to let you use your coupons and to just make you feel bad. All I can say is as a Target employee I apologize for the horrible “service” you received…it would’ve never gone down that way in my store I can tell you that. If I were you I would call corporate for sure!
And for those of you getting those beeps saying “item not found”, well sometimes that doesn’t mean a thing. Many times the register is correct but unfortunately there are plenty of times when it is not. For instance if we take peelie right off of a product and scan it even those often say “item not found”. So if you get a less than competent cashier who refuses to take your Q just because it says “item not found” then I would not hesitate to ask for a manager. I know there are cashiers that are either just too dumb or lazy to look and make sure the coupon is indeed valid and being used on the correct item.
At our store we give the guest the benefit of the doubt so to speak and do all we can to make a Q work. I’m just sorry that other stores don’t do the same. I don’t understand why these policies are not enforced across the board. A guest should not come on one day and get treated differently on another.
THANK YOU!!! SO MUCH!!!
Do i have to post a comment here to “Quick Giveaway: Scrubbing Bubbles & Windex Coupons”

How do i find out if the Kashi deal is in my store? i checked today & didn’t see any signs. if i scanned one would it show up on the scanner?
OOPS! i meant to ask if i scan a Kashi will it show? or do I need to scan a milk for it to show?
I believe it will show if you scan either. It will come up as “Special Purchase” on the right side of the screen.
I just want to say THANK YOU for everything!! I am on a very tight budget and this has helped me out so, so much!!! I was told by another person, Frugal Finds on facebook, that using more than one coupon per item is fraud. I couldnt believe this. Any time I hand over my stack of coupons, they go through without a problem. Is it really fraud? They said that doing this was illegal.
Is there any special coupon to get B4G1 FREE SELECT KELLOGG’S SPECIAL K ITEMS?
I am not able to figure out this being a new couponer .please explain.
Hi Satya-
no- this is an in-store deal. Meaning Target offers this to you without a coupon. When you buy 4, the register will automatically recognize the fifth as free without using a coupon. HOWEVER- sometimes not all stores participate in Special Purchase deals. Keep a look out for signs in the cereal aisle that advertise this deal. But if you don’t see them, bring one of the SPecial K cereals over to the red self scan machines you can find throughout the store and scan it. If it comes up on the screen as “Special Purchase” you will know that your store is participating in this deal. hth
Hi kerry ,
Thanks for ur quick reply and explaining in detail .
Can I include vanish drops in Sc Johnsons $5 rebate ?
I don’t believe so- I did not see it listed on form and I wouldn’t chance it
Thanks Kerry for your help !!! I am loving this site .. n I love the way u give ur deal ideas .Truly speaking I became addicted to your site and target .Thank you very much
Hi kerry ,
I called to the phone number on the Sc Johnsons rebate offer and asked whether vanish drop are eligible for rebate form .They asked me the first three numbers of the UPC code I mentioned it then they told tht they are eligible
suprising but very good to know. I will miss that rebate dearly and hope they have another great one around the bend!
I am so angry at Target! I had a manager ring me out after an employee had a question. She wouldn’t even except my target coupons! I found one mistake on my receipt while I was there and now I found another one and I have to go make a special trip to Target. I ended up putting twelve products back. I used all the senarios on here but she would only except three. I am seriously shaking! I have never seen a manager so rude. This trip seriously makes me never want to coupon again. If Target is so against coupons then why do they print them or except them. They really need to tell employees that coupons are money!
Shawna, do you live in Midwest City, Oklahoma? Yesterday, my mom and I both used a tq to get a $5 gc wyb 4 scrubbing bubbles. My mom and I BOTH were charged for the gc. I realized it today and took my receipt back in and this HORRIBLE “manager” yelled at me for their mistake. I was very nice and just asked for a refund and she refused to listen. I know I should have checked our receipts yesterday but we were trying to go on a marathon shopping trip and I just didn’t think about it at the time. Finally, my wonderful hubby said he would stay at the counter and wait for the real manager to come and fix it (which he did with no problem) so I could pick up a few more things and spend more money at their store. I can understand the “manager’s” attitude had I asked for a large refund but I just asked them to honor the tq they distributed. Now, I have to go back yet AGAIN to get another refund for my mom’s gift card. I wish everyone could just get along and treat each other with respect and kindness.
I found soft soap body wash on a gift card deal at my store..buy 4 @ 3.99 and get a $5gc…I snapped a photo b/c I didnt have time to check for coupons b/c had to pick my lil man up from school.
I did two of the scubbing bubble gift card deals in one transation and only got 1 gift card for a value of $5. I did have two of the gift card coupons. Should have I got 2 or is it only one per transation?
My whole reciept was messed up. All of the coupons scanned correctly, but in the end some were missing, miss matched to the wrong products(reducing the value of the coupon), and the wrong value. It was closing time and I was in a hurry. I talked to customer service showing them the the $4 olay coupon that was reduced to 1, a $5 scubbing bubble reduced to 1 and another to .55. They gave me $14 cash when those errors only came up to $12.45. But now I’m home I see the gift card was for only $5(I thought that they were maybe combining the two gift card deals on one), I was missing a 3 other coupons totaling 3.55.
I also bought 4 boxes of the kellogs special K and it only shows 3 on the reciept(is this how the buy 3 one free works?) At my store it was buy 3 get 1 free instead of the buy 4 get one free.
Oh what a MESS!!! I wish it wouldn’t have been closing time so I could have gotten it all figured out before I went to customer service.
Sorry so long Watch you Reciepts.
I bought last night the Biore steam activated cleanser.
It is 5.99 I had the $2 from target
$2 from biore website, the $1 from their site and surprise it comes with a coupon inside for $1, it was free. I got 2 of those. I hope you guys can find it in your target.
Also I paid 66 cents for a clean & clear in shower facial it was on clearance for $4.66. So with the two target coupons, I only paid 66 cents.
Hey Susana, I’m a little confused- you are allowed 1 Target Coupon and 1 manufacturer’s coupon per item. So it should have been $1.99 after the $2/1 MQ & the $2/1 TQ
Brittany, No I live in Cincinnati, OH. I just don’t understand Target employees. Just today they accused a woman of Q fraud b/c her total was under a dollar. They told me that was why they had to be so strict. I wish my totals were under a dollar! I’m thinking she must be doing something right. I am so sick of being looked at as a scammer or a freak when checking out. Mostly I am sick of the twenty minute checkouts and them calling a manager over every time! Oh just today I went to customer service to check out. I always end up there anyways. Well my mom went first and used a lot of Q’s so then when she’s done it’s my turn right. Well the girl looks at me and says “I’m taking my twenty minute break and just walks away! Seriously! I couldn’t believe it!
I was in Target in VA on July 18, 2010 and got $5 GC for purchasing two specific Pampers products. Just thought you might like to know. Not all boxes of diapers or Dora pull-ups were eligible, but I followed the signs and got two $5 GCs that the cashier allowed me to split my purchase up and use on a second purchase right then. He was great.
Hi Nicole,
yep, that is available this week- you can find this week’s gift card deals under the weekly ad. I only list the extended and unadvertised ones here. here is this week’s post:
http://www.totallytarget.com/2010/07/16/sneak-peek-target-weekly-ad-718-724/
Hi, I’m new at this, but one deal I found in our area (30024, outside of Atlanta) is a wireless Lexmark printer, scanner, copier for $47. Target is also offering a $10 off coupon, which makes it $37, down from the original retail of $89! I haven’t seen anyone else comment on this deal, so I hope it’s available in other areas.
@ pengworm I just wanted to say that I contacted Target corporate about all the issues with using coupons and having beeps, I was told on several occasions that “if the computer doesn’t accept the coupons we can’t take them”, corporate has told me otherwise. Corporate said that alot of times the cashier has to manually put the coupon in, especially if it is a coupon where they have to write the amount in. I wish they would just make the cash register do what it is supposed to do. Anyways, I wanted to say it is Target employees like you that make it satisfying experience to shop there. I feel sometimes people are jealous that we can get such great deals because we put the time and effort into it.
I heard something really interesting today. My cashier told me they have this one lady that comes in every week and hands them a stack of coupons and hardly any of them are for anything she purchased?? She came in this weekend with 5 $7 off nicorette coupons and didn’t have any Nicorette! Crazy! One of her mgrs told her to just take them, but she has made such a habit of it they have said no more. I can’t believe they were just taking them….it’s people like that, in my opinion, that give the rest of us a bad name!
Aside from that, I bought 4 of the Schick hydro shave gel (sensitive only according to the signage) and it didn’t prompt my $5 gift card. I didn’t realize it until I got home (kids with me, took forever, etc) so I called and was told I bought the wrong items. I was CERTAIN I did not as it was the only sign on the whole aisle. It bugged me so bad because I knew I was right so I drove allll the way back there, double checked the sign, confirmed I was right and went to customer service with my receipt and 4 cans of hydro in hand. Guess what? I was right and I got my $5 gift card.
I probably wasted half as much on gas going back, but sometimes it’s principle! Oh, and I saved $87 and change plus my $5 gift card and only spent $51. 
I must have a great Target! I go in every week between one and two times and I have gotten to know the upper employees by name! I purchased Aquafresh Iso-active toothpaste last week since it was a markdown from $4.54down to 3.54. I had a $1 man Q and a Target .50 Q and it did not take the manufactuer coupon at all. So i ended up at customer service. I told her what had happened showed her my duplicate coupons and she handed me the cash and told me that she would look at the register to find out what happened. She took my number called me back and told me it was because the cashier didn’t scan all my coupons since they clip one customers stack together and told me to come in for a gift card this week. Talk about great service! I try to stick with one cashier and always find out when they are working and go then. It has worked out for me and I love Target! IMO don’t ever be afraid to ask about your coupons. There are some advantages!
