I am in the same boat as Mr. Bean. I am banned for life from Target.com. Did about the same volume as he mentioned. I've tried opening a new account with my son's and husband's name, new redcard, no dice. Just go as slowly as you can and don't let this happen to you!

So sorry for you and @MrBean . I think I will do more in the store and run less through target.com. I'm terrified of being banned.

How can they tell its you opening another account?
 
they track you by your redcard. you can get another redcard but if its in your name they still flag it. the only way around it would be to get a redcard in someone elses name but thats technically fraud.

I guess I'm committing fraud then. I use my husbands red card and mine.

Me too, although I NEVER used to shop at Target and now I buy a lot from them. We will see how that pans out. For those of us that plan on doing less through Target.com, is the plan as simple as bringing our physical Target gc's (purchased through eBay), to a Target store and purchasing eBay cards there? Just want to make sure I'm not missing a step. We will lose ebates or similar by doing this.Will we lose anything else?

That will be my plan going forward. I will go very slow and easy ordering Disney gift cards from target.com. I will bring my target gift cards that I bought from ebay to target to buy more ebay - to cut down the $ going through target.com. But, even before I do that - I am waiting to see if I get anymore ebay promotions. I already have a few hundred in ebay ready to go - if and or when I get a promotion.
 
I agree. My dh & I talked about me calling back and letting UPS know. I actually called them twice. Called once and left the info, they contacted the driver and he said he left it 'next to the little table, up against the wall'...which is on my porch (and my neighbor does not have a table on hers). My dh was the one who pointed out to me that I got the same exact delivery yesterday so maybe the driver was confused. So, I called back and 'reopened' the ticket. They reminded the driver that I had the same delivery the day before and he still said that today's delivery was placed in that spot. So, I hate to get him in trouble...he is never very friendly anyways...but they basically told me 'sorry, nothing we can do, driver left it there on your porch', when he didn't.

I know, in the end, it was our fault that we presigned. I take full responsibility for being naive and too trusting. It's too much money to not be smart about.
Thanks for relating this indecent, I assumed if the package wasn't received someone was liable and you would be reimbursed by one of the parties. I never gave it a second thought but we routinely get other's mail delivered to our mailbox. I would hope that I would eventually receive it if it was delivered to the wrong address but who knows. I have mail delivered from addresses across town (although usually an address in the neighborhood or the adjoining subdivision). I wonder if there is a way to request UPS so I can confirm tracking/delivery to the local store? Otherwise I may up my orders to meet the UPS delivery requirement.
 
Just a data point for you guys, I was recently banned from target.com (I'm welcome to shop in the store). Did about 6k of churning since the beginning of the year, made sure to space out orders by at least a week, mixture of shipped vs store pickup, used ebates about 75% of the time. Not sure what the trigger was and they won't tell me!
Just wondering, did you place any orders that did NOT include eBay gift cards? Any orders of just normal stuff? Thanks.
 
Can someone bring me up to speed on what is and isn't working right now? I understand that Target is back up, but are you guys also getting the 5% off in the store using gift cards?
And which portals are actually crediting now for the best return? Ebates with an additional purchase?
Which portal for the eBay purchases?
I'm getting lost in the midst of all of the changes.
Tia!
 
Couple of data points from my purchases today:
2) Bought two $100 of Disney GC from BJs using my Amex and received the email notifying me that I used my bonus offer (for a second time) will report back when statement credit hits.
You were able to use the bonus 5% twice on the same card? Awesome! Thanks so much for trying it out, I was waiting for your post!:banana:

Someone will probably respond with an answer to your specific question but one of the reasons it is so difficult to keep everything straight is because there are usually more than one correct answers depending on the many unique circumstances. I read and read and read and also found myself lost in the midst of not only the changes but available options so I started a journal in essence. Started taking notes and recording specific helpful entry numbers so I could go back and reference them for clarification. It's odd in that the process is not rocket science yet has many dimensions (kind of like the difference between 2D, 3D and 4D). My process has evolved completely, and continues to change. The experts that chime in make it look super (stupid) easy and like I said it is not rocket science but the fluidness of the process can make your head swirl. Anyway just wanted to let you know (and others) how I handle the overflow of incoming information. Good luck!

As soon as I get my mail, I will be using Ebates today. I regularly search/test shopping portals. Please post if you find any good ones.
