Since the apple store is closer than any target to me in DC and I didn't preorder my IPads it looks like I'll be stuck with no gift cards or free smart covers.
 
FYI, ordered this morning from Target.com and got a 4th Gen iPad 32GB white with the $40 gift card and 5% off using my target red card. Sounds like a good deal to me!
 
Hm . . . all the targets around here have the Black 16GB 4th gen instock. Might call up Apple for a price match on the one I ordered (arriving today). *crosses fingers . . .
 
Called apple store, they knew the target deal wasn't for the mini, tried 2 bestbuys. both knew.
 
I bought a 64GB iPad mini this morning from my local Target. They did not give me the $40 gift card so I went back and complained. After some confusion on the sale they gave me $40 cash back instead! Also anyone that needs a case. They are selling Speck FitFolio cases for the iPad mini in black only for $1!! They priced them wrong in my store and are honoring the wrong price. Great deal if you can get one.
 
Got 2 4th Generation iPads at Target this morning and got 2 gift cards. Called Apple first and they wouldn't do anything to match it so I'll be returning the ones I ordered to Apple.
 
The Target store in Florida where I lived clearly had signs the $40 gift card does not apply to the mini.

They are giving $40 off for the new ipad 4. I picked up a 64GB iPad 4. With my Target Card 5% off. It was $704 out the door price including taxes.

Than also got my $40 gift card which is like cash anyways since we shop at target all the time.

So my "net cost" including taxes and gift ards was $664 out the door for 64GB ipad 4 wifi.

Not bad.
 
I went by target and they told me that none of them were carrying the ipad mini.

But I bought mine from Walmart today.

I second this, this also happened to be the exact model I wanted! I did have the annoying experience of going to my local store only to be told there was no ipad 4 by two employees, they seem to only be aware of the mini's existence so watch out for that y'all.
 
I've called 3 best buys around here and they will not match on the fourth generation ipad with the gift card rebates. Bummer. By the way this is in Rochester NY.
