Archived Cartwheel perks

[StockerAce]

So I noticed today I had the "end of the rainbow" badge on cartwheel. I haven't spent *that* much on it, so...is this something given to everyone to prepare for perks?

I got this too? I mean not complaining but super confused haha

I got it too. Reading the explanation that popped up, we now have 50 spots for offers and there will be no more badges awarded.

 

[Leo47]

Darn, I liked earning the badges

 

[BullseyeBabe]

I suddenly got perks on my cartwheel app when I was on vacation and shopped at a Target in an area that's testing it. I love it.

Are you still using it even though it's not offered where you live? How are you getting your rewards?

Still works. Once you get it, it stays.

I hadn't got a new badge since xmas season of 2015.

I have Perks on my Cartwheel app even though I'm not in a test market. I was on vacation in Vegas and I stopped by Colorado to visit a friend. That's when I first noticed my Cartwheel app updated to have Perks. Is the plan to eventually roll out Perks nationwide?

Yes. Apparently all you have to do if go to a test market and it will stay on the app even when you leave.

I figured. I've had guests tell me they spoof their location in order to get Perks on their app. Sad. I still don't know if my store is accepting Perks or not. I'm going to ask my GSTL.

Please let us know as I'm not in a test market and would like to know what to do if a guest has it

I will keep you all posted. 🙂 The system at my store does accept the Perks. Not sure if that's suppose to happen or not.

 

[Amanda Cantwell]

Yes but I hear a big issue is guests will screenshot their free offers and use them again and again so make sure it's not a screenshot

 

[BoxCutter]

Target will have to do what Dunkin' Donuts does: once you pull up an offer on their app you have fifteen minutes to have the code scanned to redeem the offer. After that the barcode is no good.

It doesn't even have to be that complicated-- just make the barcodes one time use.

We just got a redwire about this kind of thing..

I had a guest try to use multiple screenshots of Perks to get free candy bars. I always touch their screen to see if it's a screenshot or not. My GSTL told me we're not accepting Perks since we're not in the test market.

Of course! I had mentioned it to my team in January. So, only three months later it went up on RedWire. Brilliant. Target did not lose any money on that.

Since the DM has it on their phone and I am not in a Perks area (close but not officially there), and they are using it, I am fine with anyone using it.

I have it on my Cartwheel app. Since it auto-installed one day (no idea why), I have earned no less than 12 Perks. 🙂 I like the water bottles, the sunglasses and the detergent. After reading here that I can get a big box of k-cups with the coffee perk, I am using that one next.

Sorry for the long run-on sentences and lousy grammer.

 

[NKG]

What the sweet hell is up with the perks?

Anyone see this:

Instead of a free $20 cd/movie/book you now just get $10 off.

Target realize its losing money?

 

[SoCalMama]

I'm not liking the $10 off either. I'm going to start using what I have saved before it all gets that way. I think that I have 6 or 7 to use.

I was visiting my mom in Oceanside, CA and got a message that my Cartwheel app had an update (I'm really good at keeping things up to date) so I did it without thinking. Flash forward and when I return to Las Vegas, I continued to use it, not thinking twice about it.

That's until I was at a Target checking out and the cashier asked if I live in Texas. Such an odd question but I told her no and asked why she thought that. She was the one that filled me in that it's a test market thing and she only knew of people in Texas getting it. Seems like a cool program and while I haven't actually spent enough to get a reward yet, now that I'm working at Target, I'm sure that will change lol.

To anyone with access to an android device. Might as well as make it fair use to allow anyone to use it.
