U were unbanned by target after account was banned? My target ban still going strong almost 4 year. Luckily they are worst shipper besides kohls so I don’t feel like I missed out on anything but returns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totally off topic, but they must ship out from different centers. I rarely ever have issues with Target shipping, and are consistently one of the best.

TheBrickClique Posted December 3, 2022 Share Posted December 3, 2022 41 minutes ago, gmpirate said: I assume you mean you just can't use the Red Card online? Nope. All cards online. Same as last time. And new accounts created were tagged automatically. Luckiky my wife could do online pickup orders and her account was never impacted. We will see if that holds up. She uses her own phone, account, credit card, etc… so maybe that’s why she wasn’t flagged back then. The last ban lasted about 6 months to a year I think. I’m not sure because — as I documented in a thread some months ago — it looks like part of the ban mechanism/tracking is stored in cookies. I had a new device and made a test order after probably 18 months and it went through one day. Then tried on an older computer and it was cancelled. Deleted all Target cookies from the older computers and deleted/reinstalled the app on my phone and all orders were going through again. Didn’t work this time again but I expect in a year it will. My shipping experience has been great — when they put them in a box. Walmart and best buy seem to be sticker happy. Both of those can be cleanly removed with the heat gun except that Walmart also tends to yank them off for you before boxing and ruin what was a perfect box.

Hopefully my rakuten will not get affected by this isn't it possible that the imperial light cruisers caused the ban and it is manually reviewed and takes them time to implement it. Also are you banned for your walmart plus account or for any purchases? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gmpirate Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 Target is really slow right now with shipping compared to past holiday times. I have 2 out 3 deliveries just stuck in "preparing" since Sunday morning. I'm being cautious in ordering since my Red Card ban. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
landphieran Posted December 5, 2022 Share Posted December 5, 2022 How does Walmart make money with 10% cashback? Macy's I get, everything there is MSRP + 30%, but Walmart is often Amazon prices + 10-12%. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheBrickClique Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 I thought I'd test the Target waters again as it's been 12 days after my ban. "On the twelveth day of Christmas, my Target gave to me..." Anyways, cleared my cookies (from my ban two years ago, was able to order again after a year without insta-cancelled after deleting all target.com cookies, but not before), logged in, tried a test order. Oddly, whereas it would let me order and then insta-cancel, this time it rejects the credit card. Tried entering the red card info, and it said something to the effect of problem processing the credit card. Tried another card (that I most likely have associated with the banned account), and same message. Tried paypal. It's been in "Preparing to Ship" status for 10+ minutes now. Usually the insta-cancel is just that -- within seconds. Curious if any other banned accounts (I know the account was banned this time because support chat flatly told me I had violated their terms and conditions and was free to shop in store) are experiencing similar.

Pseudoty Posted February 17, 2023 Share Posted February 17, 2023 I cant find the post but someone posted about Capital One Rewards in another thread and I signed up. Made the initial welcome purchase at Walmart online get $15 back on $15 and today got an email for this offer, figures 2X VIP is over now. So 30% back in Rewards. When and how do they issue them, quarterly as a check or statement credit? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
