I haven't gotten one as of yet. I wouldn't be mad if I don't get one. My granite seat was cancelled, but I did get my Cowmoo seat and was able to re-sell it for $200.
I ordered the seats seperately. So it will only be interesting to know if they are smart enough to see that they were both my orders and therefore not send me the email.
I think is shows that they have a fear that perhaps their pricing policy may not necessarily be bullet proof under the law. They'd rather not find out by having to pay huge to defend a class-action suit, so it is cheaper for them to send out $25 cards with a release. (Not that I would sue, but the threat is there by some)

I never complained and got the email! Yay! essentially $25 free dollars, for a couple minutes of my time making an order that got cancelled. Wish my regular job paid that well....LOL!

See, another reason for me to 
Target (not that I need another reason!). I didn't call, didn't care about it, & I still got the $25 credit. I totally will use it for holiday shopping.
I wonder if all those other bitter, nasty posters on other sites are now eating crow?!

:yeahthat:
and as far as
I guess I didn't feel I had any avenue for recourse, or that it was necessary anyway. It's definitely a welcome surprise- and it's as a gift certificate, so theoretically you can stack it with 10% codes online. :thumbsup:
I don't mean to be rude or pry but i noticed you mentioned this earlier in another thread and I am just curious.....
so you got a cowmoo for $60.00 and sold it on CL for $200, was this why you ordered it in the first place? just to make a some money off it? or did you just not need it? why not resell for closer to what you paid? or sell it to a mom on here for cost plus shipping?
again i do not mean to offend just curious really ....

I haven't checked this thread since the "you know what" started to hit the fan. I haven't been able to understand people getting so upset about a mistake.
Well, I am super happy I happened to check this thread now, I never would have known I had some e-credit. (The email Target has for me is one that I check ummm, never.)
I went straight to Target.com and ordered a confy soft for my baby to be. It cost me $0.27!
Even though Target made a mistake, I would never complain and I plan on maxing out my Target card there for Christmas. I Target. And I am so happy for the e-check. I was feeling a little left out when other people were getting their seats, etc. It was a perfect "we're sorry, (don't sue )" IMO.

This sentement has been posted several times and I trully do not understand it. Why should anyone be obligated to sell this seat for cheap because they got it for cheap? Why should anyone be made to feel guilty for making a profit off these seats? Why should she not try and make a few extra bucks for her family during holliday time. Seriously. Even with her selling a BNIB Marathon for $200, the person buying the seat got a great deal (a $270+ seat for $200 is a great deal) and she made some extra money for what ever she might need it for. In my book it is a win/win situation. If I had known about this deal in time I would have ordered a few and done the same thing. I am honestly happy for the folks that where able to take advantage of Target's mistake. Hopefully these people received a much needed seat that they would not have been able to afford otherwise to put their kiddos in or they are able to re-sell it for some extra money in this tight economy to add a little extra joy during the hollidays. Some people need to just get over it and move on. :twocents:

It's the AAA discount. You don't have to be a member to get it, but you do have to create an acct with them. www.aaa.com/target is the site (I think...can someone else verify?!)
And Jess, just keep checking your inbox!!

Thanks!
I agree about people needing to get over it and that anyone getting a marathon for 200 is getting an awesome deal.
I apologize if my post came off as one who was 'jaded' so to speak, i was honestly just curious about wether or not the original intent of the poster was to sell the seats for higher?
you can tell from my post count that i normally just lurk here while nursing my son and I appreciate all of the knowledge i learn here. again as stated in my oriinal post i was just curious.... sorry

:yeahthat:...basically.
Honestly, when I first saw the "deal" I really did think that they were closing out seats that were 1-2 years old. When I bought it, I did have every intention of selling it for a profit. I always intended to sell it for a price that would be a good deal for the buyer, and a good deal for me based on the DOM. I would NOT have sold a 2 year old seat for $200.
I ordered 1 granite and 1 cowmoo for this exact purpose.
My granite was cancelled. I didn't cry over it.
When it became obvious that it was a mistake by Target, I honestly felt blessed that I still got my cowmoo. I was shocked at the 10/30/08 DOM.
I do not at all feel guilty for reselling it. Some got a GREAT deal buying that seat for $200.
We all LOVE getting great deals on merchandise on ebay. How do people think sellers are able to offer these great deals? It is because they (somehow) are able to get things at really great prices and resell them for a profit. There are many SAHM that are able to stay home by doing this type of thing.
So, if you want to know what motivated me exactly to do it, I'll tell you. In January when my husband got laid off, we lost 60% of our household income. He tried unsuccessfully to find a new job for a few month, then decided to follow his dream and join the police academy...which means, still no income. This has not been easy with an outrageous mortgage payment that we have since we bought our house at the top of the market in spring of 2006. We are barely hanging on.
So, bottom line, I had no intention to "take advantage" of Target, but I had every intention, with NO GUILT to be an opportunist.
For those that think what I did was somehow wrong, well I disagree. But if you feel that way, I would think you would also feel it is wrong to buy anything off of ebay or craigslist from a private seller that is BNIB.
