I just got a phone call on a promotional deal that Target is sponsoring for Xfinity. Is this legitimate or a scam?

It's a scam. See https://forums.xfinity.com/conversations/customer-service/target-gift-card-scam-beware-they-are-good/6785304bec3cb6282636396d for a description of what happens if you fall for it.

Hello, @user_apfzz1 thank you for reaching out over Xfinity Forums. You've contacted the right place for support, and wanted to see if you saw the reply from our awesome forum problem solver @BruceW ?
That forums post is great to check out as there is some great information on where you can report these calls. I'll post them here as well for easy access:

If you have gotten a call claiming to be from Comcast asking you to buy gift cards or paying upfront for six months or more in exchange for 50% off your bill the FTC is well aware of this scam. If you get a call like this you can report it to: https://reportfraud.ftc.gov/#/

The FTC also has a great webpage on Scams. Please check it out as well.

You can also report it to https://internetsecurity.xfinity.com/help/alerts
