If the the $100 gift card at Walmart is also valid on Retina Minis, it would bring the price down to $299 for the base model.

You can't use the gift card on the purchase you are making. That $100 is for 'next' time.

So if you buy a Retina, you'll pay $399 and then get $100 to spend another time.

Target's ad says ANY iPad Mini. That I would assume include Retinas.

The target gift card of $75 with the purchase of any iPad mini, seems kinda vague and not specific to model. Might get away with that.

"Any iPad mini" refers to any configuration of the old model. If Target truly meant "any" iPad mini, they would've specified the retina version in the box below BUT THERE IS NOTHING. AND seeing how the iPad mini retina wasn't released NOR had a release date during the time these ads were created and printed, I can guarantee you there will be no sales on the iPad mini retina. In fact, they probably won't even be in stock during Thanksgiving.

You guys are really fishing. Sad....

5C for 96¢

I've got you all beat.

Just got a flyer from Sam's Club for their "Special VIP Event" on 11/24 7-9pm.

The iPhone 5C is on sale at this event for 96 cents.
 
Anyone know if you can renew a 2yr subscription to get the deal for the 5s at walmart, or is it only for new contracts?
 
That awesome $100 iPad Air gift card offer from Target is for the Doorbuster special. No rain checks, quantities limited. I read that as "good luck getting one".
 
I think I might just do this myself. Having Elite Plus has a few small benefits. With the savings I may also swap up to a LTE version. I did not think I would miss it originally.

On a side note, has anyone ever returned a product at Best Buy and used Reward Zone gift cards to purchase? I was curious if those get refunded as well. I would assume they would.

Yes you can return but it often takes a long time with customer service. If you want to put he points back onto your account it can take a little while.
 
Not mentioned in the original post, but

Best Buy is also taking $150 off any MacBook Air, afaik.

Considering the iPad mini retinas just came out today and the ad was created before that, it might very well apply to them as well and there was just no text to add at the time of ad creation since the new ones weren't out yet. Not it doesn't mean that's the case, but it also doesn't mean that it isn't--not until there's something more official to confirm it one way or another for sure.

It's pretty clear that they won't be included. I know you guys think you can get away with shady things at the register with dumb-enough employees but everything is linked to the barcode and the fact of the matter is Target Corporate isn't gonna mess this up. As of now the old iPad mini sells for $299. No gift card. The Black Friday deal is you get a $75 gift card. You really think Target would drop the price of the Mini Retina by $100 AND give you a $75 gift card? Especially when the iPad Air price is only dropped $20? Haha. Ha. Ha.

Fools.
 
Whoa, Apple giving discounts through 3rd-parties? They must be selling at lower margins. I remember a few years earlier I would pray for deals, but Apple would throw out $50 discounts on MacBooks. :rolleyes:

Yay! :D
 
Does the $200 discount off the 15" retina MBP stack with education pricing, or does Best Buy not offer education pricing?

Yup. I want an iPad Air, but I'm not about to stampede and trample over people to grab one of the few Air's actually in stock.

I'll get my girlfriend to do it. :p
 
bummer the $200 off retina is only for the 4gb model. Wish it was for the 15" and higher end 13s. that iPad air deal at target though is really tempting. Idk what i'd spend the gift card on though lol
