Facebook Is Advertising Target Credits Gift Cards Above Canvas Applications

In Facebook’s latest in-house promotion of Credits, its virtual currency, the company is running advertisements for its retail gift cards above third-party applications on canvas pages.

The ad simply says: “Facebook Credits Gift Cards: Power up your play on Facebook — visit a Target Store near you to buy a card.” The “near you” is linked to a Target store locator application, making it easy for interested people to buy a card.

Facebook introduced these gift cards with retail chain Target at the beginning of the month as another way to get more users purchasing the currency.
