Right now eBates is offering 2% cash back on Target via their shopping portal. \u00a0Additionally, you can buy Target electronic gift cards from Cardpool at a 6% discount. \u00a0 But keep in mind that target only allows 4 gift cards per transaction. \u00a0Between the shopping portal and Cardpool you should be able to increase\u00a0your profit on the watch and mitigate your losses further on the iPads.<\/p>\n<p>Another option that you could try would be to see if Best Buy will price match Target, they should. There are much better opportunities to leverage this sale with Best Buy than with Target. \u00a0Cardpool sells Best Buy gift cards at a 5% discount, Discover shopping portal offers 5% cash back, and Best Buy Rewards offers 2%.<\/p>\n<p>This is not a knock your socks off resale deal. \u00a0In fact it is pretty boring. \u00a0But it is an opportunity, especially the Apple Watch to meet minimum spending on a card if you are in a pinch.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Currently Target is having a decent sale on Apple\u00a0iPad Air 2s and Apple Watches. \u00a0Both present opportunities to meet minimum spending. \u00a0Although, currently the Apple&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":95,"featured_media":291,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mi_skip_tracking":false,"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_is_tweetstorm":false,"jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","enabled":false}}},"categories":[6,3],"tags":[],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v19.13 -
