This weeks ad includes a deal for a free $10 giftcard with the purchase of four packs of Coke and certain video games. As of 10 minutes ago there was still an error in the computer telling the cashier to give you the giftcard with just the Coke purchase. I got 8 12 packs of Diet Coke for $22 and got $20 worth of gift cards. YMMV as I'm sure they are working to correct this in the computer.

That it is, but now I have an extra $20 to put toward rehab when I'm done with it

The title is misleading, according to the Ads, you need to buy coke AND NCAA football game together to get the gift card, you cannot just buy coke and get the gift card.

Crazycool, did you not read the OP's post? I suggest you go back and read it again.

Confirmed at my local Target in MO. 4 for $11 and the clerk handed me a $10 GC. Very nice.

Link to the deal.
EDIT: Gift card also valid for Sprite, Barq's, Minute Maid, and other select Coke products.

My local store (Casselberry, FL) had already caught on. The checkout person said they were notified by management not to honor it. Good post though!

If they were giving out ONE $10 gift card for each purchase of FOUR 12 packs how
did you only manage to score ONE $10 gift card if you bought 12?

In true FW spirit we would have bought 4...gotten our $10 GC....went to our car and
put those in and went back in ( to a different cashier of course) and repeated the process.

Presumably, he did exactly what you're suggesting, paying for the 2nd and 3rd sets with the GCs he had previously gotten plus paying the extra dollar different. So the 1st transaction was $11...and the following 2 were $1 each (after cashing in the GCs to pay for the purchases)...and at the end, he had spent $13 and had 12 12 packs...plus the GC from the last transaction.

This is definitely YMMV, not to mention shady. That method worked great until I got up to the second cashier. He scanned the gift card for the 4x12 packs (which are only $10.00 in OH), then my balance was $10.65 after tax. I scanned my gift card from the previous transaction and paid $0.65, then he said 'have a good day' - I asked for my new gift card, and he said it was already used to take money off the Coke products. The manager was walking by so he asked her what to do and she said not to honor the gift card because there is an error in the computer system and that all CSRs should have been told that earlier in the day. I made a hasty exit while they were arguing about it because he had handed me the gift card when I had first asked about it. I have a feeling it will likely be voided out. Made sure I paid cash as well.

Dead deal....As I was checking out, a manager was telling the cashier about the mistake and told them to void the gift card that the computer prompts them to issue....this was at 1:30 CST. But, $2.75 per 12 pack is still a decent deal. Thanks OP!!

Misleading title

alert mods    

He got it that cheap because his cashier did what mine did. they didnt see the computer stopped taking scans after the GC screen popped up. Scanned the one card and handed it to him. so he basically walked out with 8 12 packs that weren't on his receipt. I caught it with my cashier and had her scroll back up and she saw the mistake and scanned the other 4 in and gave me my second gift card. I don't mind taking advantage of a computer error but I cant go too overboard.

Really? How so? The giftcard or the Coke purchase? Because as far as I see it I purchased Coke and got a Target giftcard, I don't think it could be much more clear.

FYI to everyone else, this will most likely not be corrected in the computer till tomorrow morning when corpoate gets in to update the system. This however does not stop a local manager from turning you down.

I wonder if you could get a $10 gift card and keep repeating the deal? Essentially paying $1 out of pocket for 4 12 packs. Yummy sugar rushes.

Because you didn't mention "Mistake" and "YMMV" in the title.
