Registering for completion discount?

NicoleWI

Does Target still have a registry completion discount? I am thinking of registering just to get the discount. Is that nuts? Or unethical? This is our fourth baby, but we need:

--a new car seat (ours expired)

--baby toiletries

--diapers (always)

--new bottle nipples

--new pacis

--changing pad cover

--baby book, although I don't think they have them

--waterproof pads

--maybe some new sleepers

--nightlight

not sure what else.

Can I do this? Has anyone done this without a shower?

I had showers but I didn't tell anyone I was registered there. I registered just for things we'd need to buy afterwards and I wanted the completion coupon. Go for it!

I would go for it. They are things you need and you aren't asking others to buy them for you. Get the discount.

I have a registry for my third. It is a great way to keep organized and get the coupon. The only person I've shared my Registry with so far is my mom.

How is it unethical? There are no rules that only FTM can register. Or you must have a shower. I registered at Target, PBK and amazon just for the discount. I didn't share with anyone but my sister asked if I registered so she could buy something for DD2.

I wish I'd thought of this sooner!

Also consider creating an Amazon registry.  You get a 10% completion discount (15% if you are a Prime member) on all items that are stocked by Amazon.  I went this route so I could add all sorts of baby and non-baby related items - nursing bras, BF supplies, even the DSLR camera I have been eyeing.  It's hard to beat the selection from Amazon and having things shipped to your door for free is pretty convenient.

To answer your question, I think there is absolutely nothing wrong with creating a registry that you don't intend to share publicly in order to keep track of your shopping list and get the completion discount.

NicoleWI we already have everything...but I am going on right now to register for piddly stuff just for the coupons. I didn't even know about the coupons until this post. So thanks! 

and I noticed in the welcome email that if I go up to the service desk I can get a welcome bag with more coupons and a free bottle. So it is defintely worth it.

I did get the welcome bag and it was surprisingly nice! I registered at Target but am wondering when I will get my coupon, since I'm already 36.5 weeks. I put my due date a week earlier than it actually is, so I am hoping they mail my coupon right away.

Totally wish I'd thought of this with babies #2 and #3!! Even just for the PBK bedding I got for one of them. Amazon is an awesome idea, too. I order TONS of stuff on Amazon all the time.
