It looks like Target.com has partnered with Wirefly to start selling cell phones on thier site. Their new site indicates that they are offering a $20 Target Gift Card with every cell phone activation on thier new Target Mobile Store site. It seems to mean that if you activate 3 phones you get $60 in Target Gift Cards. It does say that they take 2-3 weeks to receive the the gift cards in the mail.
The kicker is their pricing seems to be very good compared to other online retailers and it looks like shipping is Free on most purchases. They do not carry all of the carriers on the site but they do have most of the phones from Verizon Wireless, ATT and TMobile This does not apply to prepaid or unlocked phones - Way to go Target!
I just checked and it does not seem like any prepaid phones are on the new Target/Wirefly site so I would guess that this promotion does not apply to prepaid phones.
I checked a couple of phones. Dell was about $30 cheaper (http://mobility.dell.com). With the $20 gift card, at least they are competitive, if you like shopping at Target.
Thanks OP. I've been shopping around for the best VZ 3G netbook deal (I decided to try it after seeing all the VZ commercials). I noticed that I can get a $20 giftcard when I sign up and activate a netbook (or a USB modem) so I'll keep this offer in mind.
I just ordered the Novatel MiFi 2200 Intelligent Mobile Hotspot for free and got a $20 Target GiftCard. It would have cost me $79.99 + $35 One time Activation Fee + taxes if I ordered on the verizonwireless website. Thanks again OP.
