Bought the shaker and glasses offered with the Neiman Marcus / Target promotion for our daughter. This was a popular gift this year so she received another set from a friend. On Sunday Jan 6th we went to or Brandywine MD store to return the items. My husband could not find his receipt, but we had the credit card. The cashier swiped the card , found the items, and tried to do the return. She discovered that she needed an approval code, had to call somewhere to get that. The amount was $102.98. When she swiped the card for the return, only $52.49 was returned . She was so frustrated because she did not understand what was happening. Another cashier took over, but she too was unable to complete the transaction and had to call somewhere to try and get an approval. This is when she discovered that with the Neiman Marcus/Target promotion, the items had to be returned by Jan 5 2013. So the staff apparently did not know that this promotion carried a restrictive policy and neither did we. We are accustomed to the 90 day policy and nowhere was a different policy for these items visible. hen i looked over another receipt with some of these items, I discovered that that date was printed on the receipt. Target may have done what was legally right, but I really do think that with this great of a change in policy, they should have done more to let the public know. Called customer service, got the sorry you were disappointed spiel. Over my favorite store at this point!
