    But!!! People are also saving 5% on GCs by using their Red Card. So people were doing quite well when they were able to do both.

    If they don't change their policy before our trip in May 2015, I will see if they will let me buy up hundreds of dollars in Disney GC and then redeam them for our APs. Heck, 5% off an AP is better than nothing.

    And I tried to use both the pharmacy rewards 5% coupon and my red card. But only the redcard worked for the discount. It didn't allow a discount with only the pharmacy coupon.

    Will it even let me enter muliple gift cards on one transaction?

    I actually can't find them at Target.com right now. I had to go into the store.

    <<Will it even let me enter muliple gift cards on one transaction?>>

    I don't know about using them online as I haven't done that, but I know you can use them over the phone as I have done that before, as well as at the ticket window.

    I do recall a topic (either here or on another board :-0 ) where a person specifically stocked up on gift cards over time (to spread out their expenses), tried to purchase tix online, and the system would not allow that many different cards on the transaction. I think the person ended up having to purchase at the ticket booth to use the gift cards.

    So I won't be doing this, as I'd have to wait in line at ticket booth for tickets, and I'm not going to do that!

    Sorry, don't know about the extra 5% on prescriptions. Just bought them last weekend with the regular 5% on the Red Card.
