Free Target Gift Cards with iPad Purchase

Discount department store chain Target this week kicked off a "Bonus Black Friday" (in July?) promotion that offers a $10 Target Gift Card with each Apple TV purchase, a $40 Target Gift Card with each WiFi iPad mini purchase, and a $50 Target Gift Card with any iPad 4 with Retina display purchase. Assuming you're a Target customer and actually use your Gift Card reward, these deals equate to the lowest prices for these iPad models we could find. The promotion runs through Saturday, July 13th. Gift Cards are automatically added to your shopping cart with the qualifying product.
