Target deactivates GC after purchase??

[joch29]

So I tried to use a Target GC from that 10% promo and it did not work.  I got home and called target and found out they deactivate it due to a limit of $300 per household.  Anyone else experience this?

It happened last year but from what I remember it was only a few who went to numerous Targets, using the same credit card, to purchase thousands.  All their cards were deactivated.

And it is happening this year also.

Did you go over the limit?
