I don’t think you should’ve tried doing all 12 at once alone. Especially on Christmas Eve.On Christmas eve when it was busy, I went up with 12-$50 gift cards and 1-$25 gift card. I went to go swipe (trying to not show the card). When I went to swipe, they saw it and immediately said something to the effect of “Is that a gift card?” I said, “Run it like a credit card.” And they gave me some pressure, asked me to step out of line. I mentioned that I talked to corporate. He called corporate, they didn’t give him a straight answer. Then he called the store manager who said, “If it runs, it runs.” And it did. That was 45 minutes wasted looking back on it.
Does JCP accept gift card for 3rd party gift cards. I got a lot for Christmas. I can always use things from JCP but I would like to get some Amazon gift cards if possible.

So were you able to use all 12 of the $50 cards? And if so, did you do them on separate transactions?
I figured Christmas eve, large lines, they are trying to move the lines quickly. So I thought they wouldn't be as aware.
Yep, after 30-45 minutes of bantering, calling Corporate, they finally approved it via the Store Manager. $75 savings for a 45 minute hassle though. Not sure if it was worth it to me. I didn't feel the greatest after leaving there having that discussion in line with everyone waiting behind me.

... Second BB&B, I swiped but the cashier got a pop-up on their end saying it's a gift card. Then they asked to see the card and said I can't use it on a Disney gc. Even after I pointed out the credit warning, he showed me his screen that said it's too be treated as a gift card. Not sure if BB&B put in some check in their system to alert the cashier to not allow it to run?
Her post says "Target for Target". Which has always been the case.
I realize I'm replying to a comment from October, but when I was in BBB today, I was looking at the cashier's screen after I swiped my HC, and saw a pop up. It said something like "Authorized Value Card," and the cashier had to click on it before the transaction finished. I had no problem (churned 3 $50 HC for Disney in 3 separate transactions), but it looks like the system does have a way to distinguish prepaid cards like Happy Cards from true credit cards.
My guess is this is very much a YMMV situation regarding the instructions the cashiers are given for dealing with the pop up, but as I've had no trouble churning HC for other gift cards, I was surprised to see my store does actually have a pop up.
He gives no time table on when he did that. If you have spare Target GC it doesn’t hurt to try, but we haven’t had a single report of it working.Sorry, I misread that. However, it was also reported by Shawn Coomer on doctorofcredit that he was able to do it earlier this month, see the 4th comment of the comments section using the link below.

Yikes. This makes me nervous. Hope it’s not dead and it’s just slow to post because of the holiday.Been buying from BB almost everyday this week and a 750 bonus hasn’t posted since 12/21... I know it can take a week sometimes but c’mon SB! You were posting these so fast earlier this month!
My money- or I guess my SB- is on it just being a delay, I won’t be legit concerned until I hit 2 week mark. I’m still getting shop activity tracking. Major caveat: I only have 1 more purchase planned so that certainly helps my concern level!Yikes. This makes me nervous. Hope it’s not dead and it’s just slow to post because of the holiday.
I haven’t tried since I did a $500 gift card and got the bonus but no shop & earn. I’m concerned that I won’t get shop & earn on gift cards any more. I’m going to try a $100 gift card but will wait until the bonuses start posting again.My money- or I guess my SB- is on it just being a delay, I won’t be legit concerned until I hit 2 week mark.
