The NEW Three-Tier Target Circle Program

Now it is easier to take advantage of savings at Target. When you are logged in to Target Circle, the savings will automatically be applied to your cart at checkout.

Target Circle

This is a basic membership and is free to join. You will earn Target Circle Rewards and have access to personalized deals that will be automatically applied at checkout. If you’re already a Target Circle member you are automatically enrolled. Just know you will no longer earn 1% back in rewards. Instead, Target will be offering more special deals and bonuses.

Target Circle Card

This was formerly the Target Red Card. If you already have a Red Card then you are already enrolled. If you are not a Target cardholder, you can apply for either the debit card (the one I recommend and use) or the credit card and either one will give you an extra 5% off every day, free two-day shipping, and an extended time to return things.

Target Circle 360

The Target Circle 360 is a paid membership regularly $99 annually (now $49 through 5/18)! This paid membership gives you unlimited free same-day delivery on orders over $35, free two-day shipping, and access to Shipt Marketplace which offers same-day delivery from over 100 retailers nationwide. If you already have Shipt, you should get an email offering you the opportunity to be a Target 360 member.

Best Ways to Save at Target  in-store and online

Download the Target APP

The Cartwheel APP is now merged with the Target APP.  Get access to Target Circle offers.

Scan the Wallet barcode to apply all your savings—from Target Circle offers to gift cards to 5% savings with RedCard.

What are Target Circle offers?

Join Target Circle for free to get access to hundreds of weekly deals and personalized offers. In the app, you can find these by either 1) tapping “Target Circle offers” on the Shop tab, 2) using the barcode scanner to scan any UPC in-store, or 3) looking under “Available Offers” on a product’s detail page.

Where can I find coupons available to me?

Tap the Wallet icon in the app menu and select “View Coupons.” You’ll also receive additional exclusive coupons just for being a RedCard holder. Simply scan your coupon barcode(s) at checkout in-store.

Combine Target Saving with Manufacturer’s Coupons

As per Target’s website, “Only one manufacturer coupon (paper or digital), one Target coupon (paper or digital), and one Target Circle offer can be combined per item.”

Double Dip

Combine Target coupons with manufacturers’ coupons. Match up the coupons you need with your Target shopping list before you head out to Target. Bonus: Use coupons on BOGO promotions too. Buy one, get one free, and use a coupon. Woo-hoo, look at you save!

Get the Target Debit Card for an Additional 5% Off

In store. Online. Every time.

**Some restrictions apply. See RedCard benefits & program rules.

Consider the Target REDCard the debit card (not the credit card). It works just like writing a check from your existing checking account. There is no annual fee, no cost or interest charges. You get 5% off all purchases, free shipping with no minimum purchase, and an extended time for refunds. You save 5% automatically without any coupons or effort. I love it when I checkout and savings come off automatically with my Target debit card.

• Free 2-day shipping at Target.com 
• Extended returns — 30 extra days
• More exclusives including special items, gifts, and offers
• The online application process for debit and credit has immediate approval (except for some debit applications that require a few days to confirm a bank account)
• REDcard holders can easily check their credit card account balance, make a payment, review past statements, check their debit card transaction history, and manage their PIN. They also get to enjoy exclusive offers available only to REDcard holders.

Target Price Protection Policy 

If you find a current lower price within 14 days after purchase, just bring in the proof and we will adjust your payment to the lower price, upon request. Target store price matches and adjustments are completed at the store on any lane. For Target.com purchases, call Target.com Guest Services at 1-800-591-3869.

Keep your Target receipts with you. I’ve stopped by Customer Service and asked them to scan my old receipts for price drops, especially when I buy a high-ticket item. You might be surprised at how many times I’ve gotten a price adjustment and it just takes a few seconds to find out. Get the details on Target’s price adjustment policy.

Use the Price Match Policy to Your Advantage

Look up prices on your identical items at competitors while you are shopping and then show the lower price on your mobile phone at any checkout lane. Here is the list of stores where Target offers a price match.  Alaska and Hawaii are excluded from price-matching online competitors. 

Clearance items are excluded. See the full list of guidelines, limitations, and exclusions here or call Target Guest Services at 800 591-3869.

You can do this after your purchase, but I prefer to do it right in the store before I buy an item.

Target Gift Card with Purchase Deals

Here is the key to paying for little splurges (without anyone knowing *wink*wink*) Always check here to see the current Gift Card with Purchase Offers. See, now you have Target gift cards for your new lipstick or earrings and no one is the wiser. I will NEVER tell our little secrets. Here is where to find the current Target promotions.

Know the Target Markdown Schedule

I’m told that specific items are marked down per day like these:

• Mondays: accessories, books, kids’ clothing including baby, stationery, and electronics
• Tuesdays: women’s clothing and juniors, domestic goods, pets, food items
• Wednesdays: men’s clothing, health and beauty, lawn and garden, and furniture
• Thursday: houseware, sleepwear, sporting goods, shoes, decor and housewares and toys
• Friday: auto, beauty and cosmetics, hardware and jewelry

Read the Clearance Tags

I have heard that…

If the price ends with an “8”, it will be marked down again. It ends in “4” it is the lowest it will be. Grab it before it’s gone.

Some items get marked down 15% or 30% off and then go to 50%. The final markdown is 70%. Look for red or yellow clearance stickers. Check to see if there is a number on the top-right-hand corner of the sticker. For example, if it says 50, it has been marked down 50%. 

Missed the Sale? Get a Rain Check 

If the shelf is cleared out and the sale items are gone. Ask for a rain check. Sometimes there is a tear pad already on the empty shelf, so grab one and hand it to the cashier and let them know how many you wish to purchase.

If there is no tear pad, take a photo of the price tag with the SKU numbers, or write them down, so the cashier can easily look it up. Rain checks entitle you to sale price on out-of-stock merchandise for the next 30-45 days (varies by state). Some items will have a “no rain check” marked on the price.

Look on your rain check to see if it says “choose a substitute” and then take your rain check and your substitute item to the cashier and they can search to see if your item qualifies for a substitution. You can get the item you want at the sales price of the less desirable item! Your mileage may vary, but it’s worth a try. However, rain checks are not offered online.

Check the Target Flyer in your Sunday Coupon Supplement

If you are not using the Target APP,  save the Target flyer from the Sunday paper and look through it to find valuable coupons and offers! If you don’t get the paper then check the ad online in the Weekly Ad tab.

Get the Ibotta APP for Cash Back 

Make that smartphone pay for itself. I use Ibotta and then take pictures of my receipts to get cash back on my purchases. If your Target has a cafe, you might want to sit for a few minutes and submit your receipts before you leave the store. Often when we get home, we have lots of demands on our time. It might be easier to do it before you head home so you won’t forget. Here are easy tips to get started with Ibotta.

Earn Free Target Gift Cards

Earn gift cards to Target, Amazon, and other favorite stores just by logging in to Swagbucks first. Read my informational post Want to Earn More Swagbucks? for more information. I have been using this site for more than 5 years and love earning gift cards. 

Shop the Day After a Holiday

Smart shoppers stock up on next year’s decorations. You can wait for additional markdowns that may happen up to a week after. The good stuff is always gone on the first day after a holiday. This is what usually happens based on my experience.

Buy a Discounted Gift Card

Here are two popular sites to find discounted Target gift cards.

Gift Card Granny -get $5 when you make your first purchase and use this link.

Raise – get $5 when you make your first purchase and use promo code LORIJF7076
