The company is currently offering a really poor incentive for signing up for their "discount travel" services.
They offer, in large type on the front page, the following:
"get a target gift card voucher just for signing up"
Along with a picture of a $100 Target gift card.
But in their Terms and Conditions, they substantially change their advertised offer, as follows:
Once you have signed up for $4.95 introductory offer,
and kept your account open for 14 days, incurring a $99 annual (apparently nonrefundable) fee,
Then, you can start collecting your incentive reward as follows:
Starting within 60 days of the start of your Trial Membership, you must send in receipts from one Target store showing purchases (not counting taxes) of $100. The purchases must all be made with the same credit card, and must be dated within a one month period, not more than a month before you submit the receipts. Send the receipts with a "redemption coupon", apparently something they should send you when you enroll. Oh, and there are restrictions about which products you can buy that qualify for this offer; for example, no food, no flowers, no prescriptions, etc. Send original receipts; no copies.
If you do the receipt submission correctly, (and the company satisfactorily receives the receipts you submit), then the company's representative will send back one gift card for Target in the amount of $10.
To receive additional monthly gift cards, simply perform the following:
Each month, purchase $100 worth of products from Target, the same Target, using the same credit card you used the first time.
Mail in the $100 product-purchase receipts as above.
Don't skip any monthly product receipt submissions, and hope that none of them get lost in the mail or mishandled by the company's representative, or the gap in receipt submissions will end your participation in the incentive program.
To summarize, you must pay the company $103.95 for the first year, plus buy $1,000 of Target products and successfully submit the receipts over ten months, in order to receive ten $10 Target gift cards.
Below, I am pasting in their Terms and Conditions information, circa March 6.
