Ok, that's cool. A prepaid credit card probably costs too much anyway, I'll try to find a decent gift card to somewhere I'll actually use it at. Thanks
I used it online to purchase a regular Target gift card which was emailed to me and I then activated it to my smart phone. So I can now use it online or in the store for anything. At checkout use it as a MasterCard all 16 digits at the top and the last 3 digits of the 6 on the middle bottom as the security code.
I got a price adjustment today because the 32gb mini dropped in price yesterday!!
She just gave me a gift card, which was fine because I have a list for holiday shopping in the next couple of weeks!

A little confused here....so is the gift card valid for all of Target, or the electronic department only? Seems like some people had to use it for a new iPad, but others didn't.
Also consider using the Target gift card for groceries if you're near a Super Target.
It depends on where you are. I was given a line at one store that I had to buy an iPad and all they had left were iPad 2s so if I didn't want that I was out of luck. At another target I was told I could use it on any thing in the electronics department but if I didn't use the full 200 I would lose whatever was left and I couldn't leave the store with the gift card...use it or lose it.
The receipt looks no different than a regular gift card and they printed a gift receipt so I am taking it back with the gift receipt for store credit. I will just be doing my grocery shopping at target for a bit
I believe it is good store wide and online. Some people were told that it could only be used in Electronics and some were told it could only be used that day when they got the card.
Some Targets were confused.... Target said they were happy and we could use it on "anything". Then some stores said no, had to be done then, some in electronics....
It varied on the person, place, and time.
Somewhat of a fail since there was not a uniform policy.
The target I was at tried to impose the iPhone trade-in rules on the iPads, then she tried to get the Target manager to say I couldn't use two gift cards on one purchase. It was a sale to Target.... she didn't care!
As a new Target employee, I can say in no way was I treated as Target guest should have been. My boyfriend was appalled at her defensive attitude (from before I even opened my mouth), and he hadn't just gone thru orientation on how to treat guests. Ye gads.
The iPad returned to a NORMAL gc just fine today, and that is what I have my price drop adjustment on to use whenever.
