I don't think you can call them, they will lie to you and says they don't have it to get off the phone. It's very annoying.

Just be happy you freaking got a Wii and P.S. Wtf! ps3's are available but not the Wii, well guess people wised up.

I'VE HAD IT UP TO HERE *puts hand above head* WITH TARGET. I JUST CALLED THEM AND I FIND OUT THAT ABOUT 30 MINS AFTER I LEFT THEY WERE PUT IN STOCK AND SOLD OUT. I'm so over this crap, I've gone there three times, woke up early, didn't get a chance to eat anything, and almost got into 2 accidents for this today. Ergh

That is my main concern with iTrackr and Target. iTrackr is telling you what has come in the back, it doesn't guarantee that the people up front know about it yet. Look at it this way, at least this has verified iTrackr; if you get an alert again, DO NOT LEAVE until they SCOUR the back for them!

Is iTrackr down for anyone at the moment because of bandwidth..? I'm just curious how you were looking at the alerts if it's down.

yeah I guess, but still when I was waiting I was stuck near a bunch of screaming kids and the mom wasn't doing anything. Plus I was there longer than some of the people who work there. And this is the one thing I truly want this year in as a whole.(which I'm sure is the same with most of you) Ergh, I just can't help but wonder if I'll actually get it.

Kristi1696 · 12-29-2006, 10:47 PM

I'm hoping that the text message alerts are still working?

I ended up paying for the service. Turns out my issue last night was a Safari thing. I downloaded Firefox and was good to go. My phone has been suspiciously silent though...

sora4126 · 12-29-2006, 10:50 PM

yeah, the phone thing doesn't work I've noticed.

I e-mailed them with this concern about 20 mins ago. If I get a reply back, I'll post it here.

Oh no doubt, it's totally awkward to be skulking around those gaming sections, with all of the employees giving you the stink eye! I'm just glad to know that the alerts work. You were alerted and there were actually wii's there. How were you alerted? Text?

It'll come through. At least now you know that you can rely on your iTrackr, so lurk around the other stores and then book it to Target when you get an alert!

k, thanks for that, I'm kinda feeling better. I'm gonna go sit and my room now and think of what to do now.

And the text thing doesn't work, so I've just been looking at itrackr every 5 minutes.

Indecisive · 12-29-2006, 10:56 PM

Really..you signed up for it and you didn't get texted?...Wow, I feel like I wasted $1.99

snaik1389 · 12-29-2006, 10:56 PM

Is itrackr down for anyone else?

Oh wow. That's totally a bummer. This Target was one of the stores that you selected to track? And you've gotten the test text from them okay?

fayewolf · 12-29-2006, 11:00 PM

Email update worked, but my phone was silent. not sure why I didn't get texted.
