I was trying to buy 2 Enfamil 9-24mos formula and 2 Size 18mos Gerber Onesies and was unsuccessful. I expected to get 2 $5 GC but failed on both. It didn't prompt the cashier so I asked her to check the ad. She called a supervisor (don't know what you call them, CSM, ETL ???). First, she told me I had to buy one of each. I asked her to read again it said "when you buy 2 of any of the 3 items". Ok then she checked the oz. I got 24 oz formula. It said 16-25.7oz so I passed. But what I'm buying are not $24 but $21 so she said it won't work. Then the Gerber ones didn't ring up at $8 but $9.89 so she said that won't work either. It was taking so long and I didn't want to argue so I said I won't take them.

Has anybody tried buying these items? Any luck? Should I to go to a different Target and try again?

When Target offers the free gift card sales , it is all programed into the register software , if the exact specific items are not purchased then the register wont prompt. The cashier has no controll over it at all , neither does the GSTL . So if it is a different item there is no way to give the free gift card without creating register shortage. The only help I can offer is that when those free GC sales happen take an ad and make sure you read the fine print on the items included beacuse there are no subs offered on those sales.
Even when the situation call for me to take the guests side in that situation (like a software error) I am powerless to give the GC . I usually give a couple of apolagy coupons away totaling 6 bucks , they are like GC's.

I brought the ad with me when I bought Tide and Charmin to get $5 gift card. Because there are so many different Tide and Charmin package (For Tide, must be 300 oz, and Charmin, must be 16 rolls Jumbo roll). So, if I bought 240 oz Tide or 24 rolls Jumbo roll of Charmin, I won't get any gift card. Same theory apply, only work on $24 Enfamil and Gerber also must be $8, those are 2 specific products that required to get $5 GC. Also, Target will post a sign (purchase this product and other.. to get $5 GC) underneath the price tag. Hope it's help!

I did bought 2 24 Oz Nestle formula and 2 Gerber Onesies and got 2 GC. Try other Target,may be that trip will be more successful.

The yellow onesies weren't working for the prompts yesterday. Hopefully they have that fixed by now.

Thanks for the reply. I did read the fineprint so I know the items I was buying are included except that the price was different.

Did the register automatically prompt for the GC? The fineprint says 25.7oz Nestle but for Enfamil it was 16-25.7 oz. Not sure if there's 16 oz though.

Oh well if I can't get the GC then I won't really buy them. I have 2 $5 checks as well but I'll just use those for the ready to feed cans. I found the Target brand formula is only half the price. Maybe my son won't notice the difference.

Yes, it was automacally. After the cashier scanned 2 cans of formulas he scanned GC. Take 2 cans formula what you coose ,and go to Customer service ; ask them to check about is thay are quilifued for promoutions, then go to the cashier. I did this way because in my Target did not change prises and did not put any promoution tags next to Nestle formula. Customer servise probably can make "manually" GC if formula is qualified but it doesn;t work on the register.

I'm not sure if this is the best thread to post this, but to help with this special, there are $2.50/2 onesie coupons on the Gerber website. I haven't tried them yet to know if they work, but if they do, it's a bonus!

[lhart24]

I tried the gerber onsies the other day and at first they didnt work. I bought the yellow pack. The first checked to make sure it was the 5 pack and it was. The cashier then read the ad and called a manager. She was like must be wrong in the computer. So she took the yellow pack back off and rang up the other pack I had purchased. So on the receipt it looked like I purchased two of the same pack. Then it prompted for the GC and I was good to go.

Happy shopping!

Yup I actually had that with me but the ones I was buying ring up at $9.89 so I figured even with that it won't be a good deal and I wasn't getting the GC.

The regular 25.7oz is $24 at the Target I went to and the 24oz Good Start 2 for 9-24mos is $20.99. On the fineprint for GC it says 25.7oz Good Start so must be any kind that's 25.7oz.

I was just making my list for tomorrow's trip, reading the fine print for the GC;s this weeks add bummed, I was hoping to see TIDE HE on but not bummed

Yes it's ANY 2 items of the 3 pictured. Doesn't need to be 2 of the same thing. But the gerber coupon for the onesie is for 2.

I'll go to a diff Target later and see if I can get this to work.

[mamaof3]

I had the same problem yesterday and I bought 2 packs of the onesies. It rang up at regular price and there wasn't even a sale sign or something by the stuff. I showed the cashier the ad and instead of him giving me a gift card, he gave me a $5.00 coupon that I could use on the purchase.

[putoti]

Not bad, at least you still got $5 off.

No luck for me again on the GC. My son doesn't really need more onesies and he's fine with any brand of formula. I'll just let it go. Off topic...Walmart has some ready to feed Similac 1QT bottles on clearance for $3. I bought 5 and used 3 $5 checks so I got them for free!
