Radio Shack: Apple iPad Mini 16GB $299.99 + FREE $100 Gift Card & $60 in Holiday Cash (In-Store Only)
Do you sill have an iPad Mini on your Christmas list? Well, you may want to head on over to your local Radio Shack where they are offering up an Apple iPad Mini 16GB for only $299.99 AND you’ll score a FREE $100 Radio Shack Gift Card with your purchase! Note that this is valid in-store only and if you’re interested, I would suggest heading on over here FIRST, as you can check the availability at your local store before heading out.
PLUS – receive a $10 Holiday Cash coupon for every $50 in qualifying purchases per transaction (before tax/shipping) at participating stores and RadioShack.com through 1/4/14. A maximum of nine Holiday Cash coupons can be earned per transaction, but only one coupon can be redeemed per transaction. Coupons will be valid starting three days from date of purchase. For in-store purchases, original receipt must be kept to redeem coupons and coupons can only be redeemed in-store.
So… if you purchase the Apple iPad Mini 16GB for $299.99 and get your total above $300 (maybe by purchasing a clearance item or inexpensive accessory), you’ll score a total of $60 worth of Holiday Cash AND a $100 gift card – makes for a *HOT* deal in my opinion! 😀
Is the $100 gc a radio shack gc??
Yes, it’s a Radio Shack gift card.
Does anyone know if best buy would price match this?
They have it at this price but they won’t give you the gift card or the “holiday cash”.
Yea I want it with the extras!
100 dollar gift card of radio Shack only!!??
Yes, that’s correct.
Yes, but you can use it to buy an Amazon gift card!!
Oh great idea! 🙂
only the giftcard can be used to purchase amazon giftcard, the holiday money can not be used on giftcard purchases.
The sales clerks in my nearest Radio Shack are not very nice, can someone post if the deal worked for them. Thanx
There are many reports on other boards of it working without a problem. A few have also gotten them to price match Toys R Us (they’re $259 there) but most won’t.
I’m trying to find out if this is a regional deal I’m in Ocala Fla what state are you In
I am in NJ, I clicked on the link on the post put in my zip code and the stores that have it in stock popped up. I had to go on my computer because the link did not work on my mobile phone. hth
I called RS store and they said the you cant purchase amazon gift card with RS gift card :-((
How do I use the Radio Shack card to buy an Amazon card?
Can I use to purchase a visa gift card??
You have to do it in-store … and you get two more $10 off holiday cash coupons. Lol
I just got one at my store in San Diego! They don’t activate the $100 gift card until the next day. My store only had gift cards for amazon kindle. Do you know if you can use them on any amazon purchase?
They also had b&n nook, Sirius, and apple App Store gift cards. It seemed like the gift cards were all related to the devices they sell.
I also think you need to make one more purchase to get the $60 in holiday cash. I only got $50.
How can you buy Amazon gc?
I think what she is stating is that you can take the $100 Radio Shack gift card you received and use it to purchase a $100 Amazon gift card (well, assuming your local Radio Shack sells gift cards?).
just called & they said: cant buy a Amazon gift card with a RS gift card 🙁
They let me buy gift cards with my gift card, no problem. I got $50 iTunes and $50 Amazon right after making my iPad purchase. It might be YMMV.
Did anyone see when this is good till?
You can keep calling your radio shack and they will order it from the warehouse for you! You just have to go into the store and order it and pay for it there! I did it tonight! They said they were all out this morning and they took my name and number in case more came in and they called and said come right in if you want one, there was 400 added for all 5000 stores…I reserved it and its being shipped right to my home! Good until December 24th!
Ck’d my stores here in Ocala fl but they don’t know anything about this is this a regional deal
I just ck my store in Bronx ny they don’t know anything about this 🙁
Call another store, I am nearby and each store I called is participating.
Would target match the $100 gift card part…especially b/c starting tomorrow Target will have the same Mini also for the $299 price with a $25 (target) gift card….
Is this old version iPad mini? Or new Retina display one?
this is an older generation ipad mini.. in my opinion it is 2 generations old since the configuration is more like the ipad 2.
I wonder if you could return the stuff you buy with the Holiday Cash and get back cash?
That does not seem like the right thing to do. I think that would be cheating. If anything, they would probably give it back as store credit.
Anyone have a comment: Where can Iget the best deal on a mini ipad or ipad? I am trying to get one but have no radio shack nearby, and the target card tomorrow with mini ipad purchase is only $25…
Toys R Us has the first generation mini for $259. If you have a Safeway affiliated store near you, there’s a Coinstar deal going on where you pour in $40 in change and you get a $50 gift card ($40 from your money and an extra $10). You can check cointstar.com for a list of stores. You would need $200 in change, though.
$40 get an extra $10 done 5 times = $200 paid for $250 in Toys R Us gift cards. So $209 plus tax for an iPad mini. Make sure a Toys R Us near you actually has them in stock before you do any of that!!
Wow!!! Wish I had a Safeway!!!
clever, thanks!
I just bought one. The manger would not price match “this time of year”. I also didn’t add to my purchase bc I didn’t think I would use that many separate transaction ten dollar purchases in addition to the gift card. Now I know you can buy an Amazon gift card with the Radio Shack gift card so I kind of wished I would have. The salesperson wasn’t so helpful:(.
This deal is not available at every radio shack and to use the 60 you have to spend 300…
The holiday cash prints in “coupons” of $10.00 each and cannot be combined on one item. In other words you must use them on 4 different items/transactions. They are valid 12/17-12/31/2013. The gift card can be used right away.
THANK YOU! Just went and got one!!!!
What are the requirements of the 10$ holiday cash? Is there a minimum purchase amount? Are there any exclusions for use other than one per transaction?
The $10 coupons cannot be used on Apple products, Quirky products, airtime, gift cards, special orders, refurbished items, or online. HTH.
Thank you so much Colin!! This deal worked great. I had to have my brother in a different town order them because we only have franchised Radio Shacks in my area. I called around and only corporate stores are offering this. I called the specific store to check stock and was told they were all gone so instead the manager will order them online and have then shipped to my house!!
Whoo hoo I got one plus $100 gift card and $60 in holiday cash…. Thanks colin
Another update! We bought 3 and were able to do it in three transactions and role the $100 gc!
That is awesome!
Such a great deal!!!!! What are you going to do with all those $10 holiday cash certs?!?!?!
Yes! Please cook up some ideas! I bought 2 iPads with rolling the gift card and I have lots of the $10 certificates to use! Merry Christmas everyone…!
batteries of course! Not sure what else at this point….maybe if they have their brand chargers.
I just went and bought two, I wish I would have known I could use the gift card! Thanks Colin !!!
Before I go out wanted to see what the terms are on the $60 store cash? You have to use them one at a time and spend a certain amount?
Got one…yay!!!! $10 coupons in separate transactions, spend $10 each transaction and it will be free 🙂
Awesome thanks! Always need batteries. Not sure what else I would need there though.
I went bought 1.but instead of 6 got 5 and for 100 $ gift card bought 2 $ 50 Amazon gift cards and they rolled out 2 more 10 $ holiday cash not bad :)))
Sold out.. Olathe ks and Overland Park
You can keep calling your radio shack and they will order it from the warehouse for you! You just have to go into the store and order it and pay for it there! I did it tonight!

Great Read! I always check https://blaketablets.com/ for the latest tablet reviews, they really helped me decide which one to buy.
Does anyone know if this sale is over? The ad says thru dec. 14th? 🙁

I called best buy and they said they will match the deal. I have best buy rewards to use up. So hopefully the deal will work tomorrow.
did best buy match the 299.99 and then also give you a $100 giftcard?
Where did you find the deal? Is it listed on their website or in a printed ad? I need to either have the ad or pull it up on my phone to price match the deal 🙂
Nevermind I found it. Lol sorry
I purchased this at walmart on black friday. Will they refund the difference as per their Christmas policy
The price is the same as walmart’s Black Friday price. The gift card is also for the same amount. The difference is the $60 in holiday cash and Walmart will not match that.
I got one yesterday and still some left at one store near me. I don’t think anyone knew about this deal. Disney get mine til yesterday evening.
***Didnt not Disney….too early for me 🙂
I just got one! Used the gc toward an antenna booster (we cut cable a while ago but miss the news and we’re in the boondocks). Thanks, Colin! Have we mentioned that you rock??? Big time!
I just bought one! Traded in some old ipods we had and a nano for credit of $100 toward my purchase 🙂 Then turned around and used the gift card and my old iPhone 4 as a trade on a NEW iPhone 5s. Got the 5s for free. So total out of pocket was $200 for an IPad mini and new iPhone 5s. I still have the $60 Christmas cash. Looking for ideas to spend them. You have to use each $10 for 1 purchase and I was informed I can’t use them for google or iTunes cards 🙁 Anyone have any ideas?
My store has the deal till the 24th they said.
I just went to Radio Shack and did this deal. I purchased the Ipad and $4.99 batteries. I got $100 radio shack gift card and $60 in Christmas Cash. I took the $100 Radio Shack Gift Card and then purchased a $100 Amazon Gift Card. From the Amazon transaction I got another $20 in Christmas Cash! Great deal! The Christmas cash just be used individual transactions though.
Thanks for posting this Colin! I bought one yesterday, then used the $100 gift card to purchase a laptop that was on sale yesterday. Now we have $110 in holiday cash to spend. You made our Christmas!
Thank you Collin for all that you do! This was a great deal, thanks for posting. My daughter will be so excited Christmas morning!
Absolute garbage! None of my Radio Shacks in a 50 mile radius have this offer available – I have been told that Radio Shack is sold out of the iPad minis. Yet the special is still posted on their website. And a recent CNET article quotes a Radio Shack spokesperson as saying that they “promised” the special would go through this week.
Keith! You can keep calling your radio shack and they will order it from the warehouse for you! You just have to go into the store and order it and pay for it there! I did it tonight! They said they were all out this morning and they took my name and number in case more came in and they called and said come right in if you want one, there was 400 added for all 5000 stores…I reserved it and its being shipped right to my home! Good until December 24th!
If I were to purchase the mini and receive the gift card, couldn’t I then return the mini a day or two later and repurchase it again, using the gift card toward the purchase? Our have they figured out some way to prevent customers from doing this?
*Or, not our. That’s what I get for not proofreading before posting…
if you return the ipad mini, you have to return the $100 gift card and the $60 holiday cash as well
The gc will not roll for a 2nd ipad mini purchase, it says so in the ad. I just did this deal this morning but They have to have it brought in from another store. I feel lucky. $100 GC and $60 store cash! That’s called FREE TOYS. My favorite words during the holidays.
I got the ipad mini and they told ill get a $100 gft card but never got $100 gift card in the store 🙁
I told my sister about this great deal as she wanted to get her DH one for Christmas. She went to her RadioShack in MS, they told her that she had to purchase the $99 Apple Care plan. She called me and I told her absolutely NOT, make them show you were it says that because I haven’t seen it online or in the weekly ad. The salesman told her that that came from his manager. She explained to him that I lived in another state and was able to purchase it without the plan. He actually called the store that I purchased at in LA and they verified it! In the end, she did get the deal so no complaints! Anyone else run into this?
NO! That manager is trying to boost his sales goals! There is no such thing as a mandatory purchase of an extra warranty! I charged my iPad mini on my American Express, bc they extend the warranty. This was a great deal! I purchased the iPad mini with a $7.99 SD flash card & received the $100 gift card & $60 in holiday cash. I did another transaction & purchased the Beats headphones that were on sale for $199 & used my $100 gift card from the iPad & received a $20 gift card & $50 in holiday cash. Thanks Collin!!!
