About That Target Ad….
We’ve received multiple reports regarding the 20% off Star Wars toys (and other items) ad that dropped on Sunday. Due to the vagueness of the terms of the ad, customers/collectors are having to get a managerial override for their purchase(s) to take advantage of the discount. Based on a conversation with Target Guest Experiences, the ad can be determined as misleading and stores should honor the 20% discount on any Star Wars purchase(s). Customers can call Target at 1-800-440-0680 to inquire about the promotion and how it can be interpreted as misleading.
