AUS Target DotM Competition & Website

[reillyd]

My store had Week 2 (I saw the packet, labelled Week 2 Card 1) but it was definitely not the week 2 card. I'm guessing you'll have to wait till later to redeem it, and anyone who can score a Week 6 card may find it works for week 2.

bb card does not work.

so i can enter the 25 word question more than once?

also did anyone notice a slight change in wording between the prize packs? Same prize different items

yoshi, thats the "week 6" card and you cant put the code in yet. i got the same care this evening and once again i went back to the same target and the people on the register had no idea about the cards or the promotion.. do retail places have team briefings or tool box meetings and have these explained to them.. i mean there is large promotional material in the catalogues and in the toy isles and them not knowing anything is very unprepared...

I went to a different target later on. I asked if i could see what card they had (before browsed anything in the shop) and the lady at the service counter first showed me the Prime card from week 1. I told her that isn't the correct card for this week and it is expired. I showed her the pic from the screenshot i took from the website on my iphone of the week 2 card.

She got confuzzled and proceeded to open the drawer to unveil more cards. She then showed me the week 6 card again (this time i saw it in the little glad wrap like bag with the tag "week 2 card 1").

Being a great customer service employee she called the person in charge of these cards. The guy was on his lunch break so I browsed what they had. Bought some transformer t-shirts and went back to the lady. She called the guy again, this time he came and told her that no one was picking up the cards and that she was to give me any card that i wanted (limited to 1 of each).

she showed me her whole collection and the only other card I didn't have that she had was...the week 3 card...Starscream! I only took 1 card per item, so i got 2 starscreams and an extra megs.

So the website and the stores are out of synch. I'm guessing that it's more to do with the website being completely crap due to the bumblebee card still not working and being unable to input the code for week 2/3/6.

In summary, target has the following cards as of tonight:

All of week 1
Week 6
Week 3 (if you're lucky)

I just got two cards today, though I'm not entering them on my behalf but on my cousin's because he deserves more TFs than I do

But I gotta say though, the fact that this website wants your address details is pretty unsafe and there's no warning to kids about having parent supervision around when entering in such sensitive information. What happens if it teaches kids by accident that it's okay to put in an address at any website?

This promotion is so fail, it defies comprehension... HUUUGE TF DotM display as soon as you enter the door, big promotion standee with all the info, and an ARSEnal of staff with NO EFFING IDEA about it! It would take 30 seconds to read the T&C's that are right there in front of them, but noooooooo, we can't have that now, can we...

Another day, another Target visit... I purchased Powerglide, Blackout, and a TF tee for my son, so I put them on 3 separate receipts for the cards. When I went to the service desk to redeem them, I got the SAME lady as two days ago, and she still had no clue, even though I filled her in on my last visit... Seriously... Anyhoo, she gave me only 1 card, which as expected was the week 2/6 stuff up card, so I explained my theory of the week 2/6 miss-labelling just in case something might sink in and they just might let management know. I then asked for the remaining 2 cards as I had 3 receipts, at which she said "that's the only one we have", so I said doubles are fine or if there's any older ones. What does she get me? The SS card for week 3 and the BB card from week 1. Yuhuh, that's not exactly supporting your "only one we have" theory, lady...

This isn't exactly a shelf label saying "bonus mascara with an Estee Lauder purchase over $50", this is "take up the entire front entrance" stuff, you'd think they'd give at least a tiny bit of care...

Good to see it's not all of them then, this was the Hollywood Plaza one, but Elizabeth were a bit ordinary on it too the other day. I might try my luck at TTP for the rest of this then, thanks =o)

I just scored Week 3 Starscream, and learned that "sometimes cowards..... survive". Yay!

[kaiden]

so if I purchase 5 legions in one go, will I get 5 cards?

or do I need to purchase 5 legions separately?

depends on the person serving you.

i was a sefton target today and the girl showed me prime, bumblebee and megatron - so i grabbed megatron.

hey griffin, would you be able to update the first post with what cards are for what week? thanks.

Hey Jaisun, did you try TTP yet? How was the service there?
