You have to use the barcode scanner in the target app and not your phones camera.

Just go and scan the barcode at Target. It is posted where the car seat drop-off is, but the QR code is also displayed in the car seat aisle in the baby section.

Anyone knows what target does with all these Car seats? I imagine they destroy them and recycle the materials. Refurbishing them and donating them might become a liability. I'm just curious.
They're trashed, no one will take that liability. Same reason why I won't buy a used seat because you have no idea if it was in a car accident or not.

I want to say thank you to those that scanned this in and uploaded it.

I'm still going to go and turn my carseats in, but I get stressed out expecting technology to "work when it needs to work". This lets me know with a surety it's in my target app offers, and I can stress-free go and just huck my old carseats into the bin.

I don't have a need for the coupon personally, but have an old convertible booster that can be traded-in and can give it up on Marketplace for someone that does needs the coupon. If the straps are cut, will Target still take it? Don't want the thing to be re-used is why I'd cut the straps.

Just to note in case anyone experiences similar to me, some items that are not excluded based on coupon terms aren't applying the 20% off correctly.

I wanted the $249.99 Rado Flyer Wagon which was one of the few not applying. Customer service first said it's because it was Radio Flyer, then when I pushed they said because it's foldable, which I also pushed back on, then finally manually adjusted the 20% off for me.

So it's always worth asking in chat in case the item you want isn't working.

Any advantage to recycling an old booster seat this way over throwing it out in the trash? Can I extend the promo to someone else if I print it out?
it keeps it off the street. that way someone won't use it if they were to dig it out of the trash.

Is that in the baby category? lol

Mine was a clear mistake/omission, but if they would mark down a PS5 I wouldn't complain haha.

They will still take it if the straps are cut.

I'm sure there's people playing the system, but, for some of us, the anxiety of hoping the barcode is legible in-store, and if not, having to talk to customer service to make it right... etc etc is just overwhelming. I know, it sounds insane. It's just humans. But, my personal anxiety grinds against it hard.

As a result, I can scan the barcode now, see that I have the coupon in my app, and toss my carseat into the bin at my leisure (which I just did during lunch). In and out, talked to nobody. It was very smooth.
