WHAT!? I totally got shut down by Kayla! Damn. She's the one that looked up the ad on the Target site and then said it was for the iPad 3.
I'll call back and try my luck tomorrow... I don't like calling constantly and feeling obnoxious.
Just talk slow and in a deep voice. She instantly melted for me and it was smooth sailing from then on.
I looked at my coupon a little more closely and it excluded ipads
I called back and spoke to a manager and she said that they are not suppose to offer anything on new releases and an email was sent out to employees saying just that. She did go ahead and give me a free cover for my inconvenience

She did go ahead and give me a free cover for my inconvenience Spoke with Stephanie at apple, who apparently works from home (her dog was barking in the background so I asked lol), she credited me back the price of the iPad mini smart cover that already shipped, and also changed the price of my prepared for shipment 4th gen smart case to $0.00.... She went on target.com's weekly ad to verify first.
Saved me 39.99+49.99+tax!! Thanks OP!!!

Spoke to Ashley... All I did was say the words target and can u Do anything for me and 2 seconds later she credited me back the $42 for the mini cover.... Yay macrumors!
I called back and was offered a $45 off coupon which made me happy. Then when I got the email I found out it was pretty much a useless coupon like the poster above received. I called back again and talked to a nice guy named Paul who told me I would also be receiving a dark grey smart cover for the inconvenience!! Just checked my orders and it is on there for an estimated delivery of nov 2-6.....Thank You Paul@Apple!!!

you're the one I was talking about with the coupon. Thanks Af101! I wouldnt have called back if it wasnt for your post!!
No problem
. Thank you to the OP that let me know about the free covers, because if it were not for that I would have never call. Even though I can not use the coupon for an IPad I am sure I can find something to buy. I just hating letting coupons go to waste...LOL!
you guys can't just wait for Apple's black friday where they knock off ~$40?
i appreciate apple's customer service, but sometimes i feel like it's abused heavily. i wonder how long they will bend over backwards for people (but then again, they could bend over for each product sold...that's how much profit is padded into it)

I think the thread title should be changed to "target offering $40 gift card on any iPad = free smart cover/case from apple" and stickied to all the iPad forums. It saved me $100 and I'm sure there's a lot of ppl out there who don't know about this. Targets deal is good until 11/3 too! Still plenty of time for everyone to call
I purchased an iPad mini with smart cover and a 4th gen iPad with smart case.
After calling and mentioning the target deal, I got both cases free. 39.99+49.99+tax= ~$100 saved
That exact thing happened to me the first time I called. The second time I called, the guy said they weren't offering anything for new products. The third time I called, the woman gave me $40 credit

Did you call the my apple number?

Yeah I just called too and that's what there giving me, but they didn't ask for any information?
Just called, talked to Reggie. Asked him if they could match Target's ad, he said NOPE - nothing they can do! He told me to return my iPad mini to the store on Friday or send it back with a prepaid shipping label.
Just tried again with Kevin. This guy wasn't even willing to talk about it. "No, that's a Target promotion. We don't do that. I can't do anything in my system."

Thanks to those who pointed this out. I'm currently on hold... I wonder if they're experiencing a higher than usual volume of calls thanks to this ad.
I have to say, the keyboard clicking sounds after the automated system says something is pretty obnoxious - trying to trick people into thinking it's a real person?? The hold music is really obnoxious too!
Crud, just spoke with Brittany who said they only match regular prices, not sales or promotions like this. If I call again, I wonder what the odds are of getting the same person...

And it's so loud. And tinny.I have to say, the keyboard clicking sounds after the automated system says something is pretty obnoxious - trying to trick people into thinking it's a real person??
(yeah yeah, first world problems)
