Target had their annual gift card sale yestarday. The terms of the offer stated a limit of $300 per household, but as it’s been the case in the past, you were able to do multiple transactions and go over that limit. Especially in stores people can easily do 4 and 5 figures. But there’s always risks when you don’t follow the terms.
In the past couple of years Target deactivated many gift cards, mostly when people did very large amounts and on the same credit card. Using different cards was safe if I remember correctly.
Looks like that’s the case again this year. Let me know in the comments if any of your cards were deactivated and any other info that you can provide as data points. If you followed the terms you should be fine and even if you stayed within the limit with each credit card, you most likely will be OK.
