Get Free Store Credit from Target with a Strange Return Loophole

Get Free Store Credit from Target with a Strange Return LoopholeTarget runs a lot of stores, and few stores offer the same promotions and pricing?even if they're only miles away. As a result, if you find an item cheaper at one store you can easily return it at another for a higher price if you "lose" your receipt.

I bought a pair of pajamas and exercise pants in a hurry at Target a few weeks ago and the pants turned out to be too small. I actually lost my receipt, but happened to be at a different target a few weeks later and brought the pants back anyway. I was going to buy more stuff at the store anyway, so I didn't mind receiving store credit. I only paid about $10 for each pair of pants but when I got my store credit I received an extra $15 back because the pants weren't on sale at that Target. I told the employee that I didn't pay that much, but because I didn't have a receipt he said that's how much he had to give me.

After researching Target's pricing a little further, I found that a lot of deals vary from store to store. If you buy something on discount and try to return it after the sale or at another store without a receipt, the store has to go by the current price. Target's policies for no receipt returns also come with a small deduction from that current price, but in my case I still ended up with more money than I spent. While this isn't something I recommend taking advantage of, as you're basically taking Target's money, if you lose your receipt on a sale item you should either wait for that sale to pass or return the items to a different store. That way you should at least get what you paid for them instead of incurring a deduction.
