so they just ring up as $14.95 or they need to adjust the price after you argue?
 
They definitely do not. Stores misprint ads all the time and issue retractions instore saying it was an error.

I believe the ad itself says the store is not responsible for typography errors.

Yes you need the ad to match it

If you have the ad and they misprint it, they can deny it at first, push comes to shove, they have to honor it, they don't want to "false advertise" anything.

My conversation:
Me: So these are really $14.37? *points to 3 month cards labeled $14.37 and 1 year cards labeled $39.99* The 1 year cards are?
Target: *sees that I have the ad* Yea, someone messed up big time and until district tells me otherwise I'm doing $14.37.
Me: Great! *grabs 4*

Well the ad says 20% off cards. They clearly meant $14 for the 3 month cards. They don't have honor anything but most will to please the customer. They don't owe you jack shit.

that employee sounds like a stand up dude
 
My convo went as such:

Me: *places two PS+ cards on counter*
Cashier: You know it's the three-month cards that are on sale, right?
Me: *flips open ad LIKE A BAUSS* Your ad says otherwise.
Cashier: Ah, I see. Weird sale, but I'll fix it. *rings me up*

where is the ad at? in the store?

Sony PR next quarter:

"PS+ membership saw a major boost the last quarter. 'We think there is a high demand for the services we provide, that differentiates us from our competitors' said SCEA"

:)
 
So finally I can see what Playstation Plus is all about!

save $2 on Infamous FoB? worth it'

well shit, it seems like that deal is over. not worth it.
 
I tried this with two cards at a Walmart, but Walmart's computer system wouldn't allow the transaction to complete even though a CSM approved it.

The only way to get it to work at Walmart is to buy it full price then match it afterwards, their system doesn't allow you to buy with a discount
 
Deadstar reporting in. They did not honor it at the Target near me. They had a paper on the desk saying that it was supposed to be the 3 month card.
 
What I don't understand, though, is why Target don't just take the cards off the shelves. Why take such a heavy loss? Maybe someone in retail can enlighten me, here.

EDIT: Wait, that's exactly what they're doing. Brain fail.
 
I went to my closest store but all the 1 years were gone. It was either sold out or the management took them off the shelves. If someone ends up being able to get a few through this and feels kind enough to sell me one for cheap, I'd appreciate it!
 
Picked one up today.

They wouldn't sell it to me at ad price because they said it was a mistake, but after some haggling, they didn't have anything actually saying it was a mistake -- nothing came through from corporate.

So, I bought one. Plus member till July 2013 now.
 
I bought 2 of them. The clerk called a supervisor who then called a manager who finally approved the deal. They definitely didn't want to do the deal, but in the end they respected their own ad.
 
Yeah, everyone came to make check it all out, but I got the deal in the end. Pointed my finger at the ad like a man.

I bet no one else is getting in on that deal though. Least at my Target.

Did that work for somebody? My mom works at Walmart and thinks that won't work either.

I actually went to a Target today but didn't bother trying to get them to honor the ad. In electronics they had explicit tags saying what each card was on sale for.
