The new
Holiday Glade Gift Card Deal is set to officially begin today, and I received an advertisement for it in this morning’s Smart Source. I also got the Dollar General Ad which advertises the Glade Winter Collection on sale 2/$5. So you can try and Price Match at Target to get an even better deal. I say
“try”, because some stores interpret 1 or 2 exemptions in the Low Price Promise Differently:
*Competitor’s bundled offers (some stores consider 2/$5 a bundled offer when actually you don’t have to buy 2 to get the $2.50 price). -imo as an example it means if Best Buy is offering both a camera and a lens for a discounted price wyb both- you cannot expect Target to honor the same price at their store)
*Coupon-required or giftcard offers (some stores consider this applying to themselves instead of their competitors) *imo it means if a competitor is offering a Free Gift Card wyb a product- you can’t expect Target to offer you a Target Gift Card on the same product instead.
Unfortunately corporate interprets them differently as well depending on who you get on the phone. It is my hope that one day they clarify their low price promise further on line, but for now you are stuck with the luck of the draw and how your store interprets the policy. But definitely worth a shot if you have the Dollar General ad in hand.
I am truly hoping this deal goes very well for everyone (with or without a price match) despite a couple concerns I have. But just in case, there are a couple of things that I feel like I should give you heads up on… For starters, you may want to be on the lookout for how your B1G1 coupons scan- as sometimes Target’s computers have trouble with them. Also- you may run into trouble if the $10 Invisible Coupon Glitch affects this deal.
(If you have no idea what I am talking about- read the bottom of this post as well as my comment on that same post).
If the $10 MQ Glitch is present- and you have over a certain amount in coupon value- your store will have to push some of them through as store coupons, OR you will need to remember that for every five you buy you will only have $4.95 available to absorb coupon value. (5x $2.99 = $14.95 – $10 in invisible MQs = $4.95). If your coupon value exceeds that, you must have whatever that difference is in products to absorb your coupon value. (ie I have $6.99 in coupons – $4.95 available to use a coupon on = $2.04 needed to absorb my remaining coupon value, I buy a gallon of milk for $3.29 and I am fine).
You can find scenarios for this deal HERE and it now has a home on the Special Deals Page where I will do my best to keep the matchups & scenarios for it current.
