Hello,
I will be adding the option to purchase Target gift cards electronically (i.e. mobile cards) on Bitmit. This method is the most anonymous way of purchasing a gift card that can be used at physical Target store locations AND at their on-line store via a smartphone and QR code. This is not possible with a Target eGift card. eGift cards can only be used on-line. You can see the list of the items I sell on Bitmit with the following link:
www.bitmit.net/en/user/heavysteelSUMMARY OF HOW THIS WORKS:
Buy a physical Target gift card for a small amount ($5 for example) at a Target store. This card (call it Card #1) acts like your private gift card that no one else knows. With your smartphone, apply Card #1 to your Target mobile account that you setup. After you purchase a Target mobile gift card on Bitmit from me (call it Card #2), I will send the card number and access code via email. You validate the amount by applying Card #2 to your Target mobile account. To lock in the Card #2 so no one else can use it, it must be combined with Card #1 which is your private gift card. In effect, this moves the funds from Card #2 to Card #1 while invalidating Card #2.
To spend the funds on Card #1 at a physical Target store, present the QR code on your smartphone at the cashier. For their on-line stores, use Card #1’s card number and access code directly.
DETAILED STEP-BY-STEP INSTRUCTIONS FOR FIRST-TIME USERS:
(1) If you do not have an existing Target gift card, purchase one with cash at the store – e.g. for $5. This is your private card with a card number and access code that only you know. Call this Card #1.
(2) Go to “Target.com/gc” through a web browser on your smartphone. You must use your smartphone, NOT your computer. You will receive a prompt asking to download the Target app. Download and install the app which will make things easier.
(3) Create a Target mobile account by providing your mobile number, email address, and a PIN code.
(4) Add a new gift card with Card #1’s number and access code to your Target mobile account.
(5) Purchase the mobile Target card of your choice on Bitmit from me. Call this Card #2. I will send the card number and access code (which comes from a physical card) to the email address that you provide.
(6) Go to your Target mobile account and add Card #2. This is when you can confirm the amount on the card.
(7) Use the “Combine” option to combine Card #2 with Card #1. This effectively moves the funds from Card #2 to Card #1 and invalidates Card #2, preventing me and anyone else from using the physical card to make purchases.
(
To purchase goods and services at any physical Target store, select Card #1 in your mobile account and present the QR code for scanning. The Target smartphone app makes this easier.
(9) If you want to purchase items at Target’s on-line store, use the card number and access code directly.
Note, there is probably a $2,000 limit on combining cards as there is when purchasing Target gift cards. I am not sure if there is a limit to the number of cards that can be combined. But if you have any questions or problems, please PM so we can work them out.
Best regards.
