what did you even say to them to get them to do that?
I'm in chat to get my initial order done now, but I was going to open a second chat and ask them how I would be able to get my items on release day, since realistically the only way is express shipping and ask them to waive it

I had given up on this earlier but still had Spidey Ultimate (PS5), Valhalla and Yakuza (XSX) in my cart. Ordered just now and got them to credit me $50 via chat. Easy :D

I first ask if I could do store pick up, since it wasn't available I mention if express shipping was 10 and if I could get a discount. Rep was cool and gave me 10 refurnd. Getting Assassin Creed and Yakuza 11/10. Order a filler item for discount(canceled it and they change the refund to 6.66 as well, lol)

Anyone have any luck with in store employees allowing the deal with games that don't count for the promo?

Does anyone know if just adding one of the valid games make it easier? Say 2 ps exclusives and something like Valhalla or Cyberpunk? That way the game in the promotion is the one getting the discount?

That's what I did, I threw godfall in there just to have a valid game so they could at least see the promo

Try doing 1 exclusive and two promo games. You can try doing it twice if you care about it. I just wanted to get Demon's Souls and had Godfall and CoD as my other two games. Be nice and the rep should be able to help you.

They didn't edit my order until I actually placed it so 100%
CS Rep was telling me that Target isn't offering expedited shipping right now. Told them that I knew someone who got it on their order but they told me that they were sure that Target isn't doing it otherwise they would have applied it to my order for me.

Oh well. Might just grab Miles and Demon Soul off of Amazon and return the Target copies to Amazon when they come in. Delivery estimate is next Weds.

Target CS: I can understand how you must be feeling.
Target CS: I am trying my best to make it possible for you.
Target CS: Though the items are not eligible.
Target CS: However, you are our valued guest, I am making one item free for you.

On top of the 5% red card discount, and the 10% employee discount that is a nice early Xmas gift for me lol. Thank you for the heads up yall

They had me place the order than refunded one of the games. Ended up getting Spidy, Demon souls, and COD

Ended up saving 30 dollars off the discount and got a refund of 59.84 for a total of 89.84 woohoo

I was hoping to pick up some 3 year old Switch games for a reasonable price but apparently only third party switch games are included

That's very strange, I even only applied it to the 2 exclusives and not the cancelled godfall and they showed as the 12th and the godfall was 13-18.

I am tempted to try this for Pikmin 3, Valhalla, and Sackboy but I feel like it's money I don't need to spend. I already have Demon's Souls and Miles preordered and I am too nervous to actually mess with anything to do with my PS5 preorder. I wish Yakuza was PS5 ready..

I think Target might have wised up to this. I tried two different chats, and they all seemed aware Sony games were not part of it.

It took me about 8 people but I finally found someone that would discount a game that wasn't eligible. I virtually pass along whatever leftover good luck I have to the next person.

This was great. I canceled from Best Buy and ordered Ass. Creed Valhalla, Yakuza 7, and Black Ops. I think I saved at least $30-$40 over the original discount I had from Gamers Club (which just sadly expired).

Ordered 3 copies of CP: 2077 and cancelled two.
I'm getting charged $10.26 for sales tax for the remaining copy? Seems like a lot

EDIT: actually read the discussion couple pages back. looks like that will get adjusted when it ships. Thanks for the tip everyone!

Spidey and Sackboy aren't apart of the sale. Most 1st pary PS games aren't.
Would they be part of it when they release though? Also what is this extra discount yall are talking about? I can order 3 games and cancel 2 and the 1 game will be discounted or what?

S/O to Kim for applying the discount on my order. Ended up being able to grab Demon's Souls, Miles Morales Ultimate, and COD in a single order.

I grabbed Valhalla, Black Ops Cold War and Watch Dogs Legion all for my Series X.

Just hope they arrive on time.
