Target selling the iPad cheaper than Apple
This morning I determined to pull the trigger on an iPad 2, and just before heading to the Apple amass I jumped online to see if I could find it in a store closer to home. The End web site indicated the store located just three minutes from my for nothing had the white 32GB iPad 2 in stock.
In Target I found a representative to unlock the specimen and sell me the iPad. Lo and behold, when ringing up the sale she told me that Object gives a $40 gift card with the $599 support of the iPad. That price is the retail price for the 32GB iPad 2 everywhere, but with a $40 forte card that effectively drops it to $559. That’s cheaper than Apple sells them for, and everywhere else I have checked.
The $40 donation card must be spent in Target, but since it was an instant “allowance” I used it to pick up an orange Smart Include for my new iPad 2. I suppose cheaper iPad 2 configurations would limit for a smaller gift card, the Target employee didn’t be informed. The most expensive 64GB model would get a bigger discount, so I could have upgraded the recall for less than the $100 upcharge from Apple.
