Target no longer is able to accept the coupon

MINNEAPOLIS, Jul 02, 2008 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Unfortunately, due to fraudulent tampering and transferring,
Target no longer is accepting coupon offers for $5 off a $25 or more
toy or general merchandise purchase at Target. The coupons state they
are valid through October 1, 2008.

Target sent the original coupons for $5 off a $25 or more toy
purchase via e-mail to approximately 85,000 guests during the months
of February and March. The altered coupon had an image and the word
"toy" removed to make it appear to apply to any purchase.

Kathee Tesija, executive vice president, merchandising, Target,
said, "Our goal is to always surprise and delight our guests with
great values, and we are disappointed that some of our guests may be
inconvenienced by our need to respond to this fraudulent tampering and
transferring."

Guests who originally received the coupon will be notified via
e-mail that the coupon no longer is being accepted, and they also will
receive a $5 Target GiftCard by mail. In addition, Target stores are
posting signs at all check-out lanes alerting guests that these
coupons are no longer valid.
