Join Target Circle Before Shopping
Target Circle is free and gives members access to automatic deals, personalized bonuses, and other account offers. Most standard Circle deals apply automatically after the shopper signs in, scans the Wallet barcode, or enters the phone number connected to the account.
Target Circle Bonuses, coupons, and rebates can work differently and may need to be activated first, so the account's Saved section is worth checking before checkout.
Check Gift Card Promotions on Planned Purchases
Target regularly offers promotional GiftCards for buying a required quantity or spending a set amount on eligible household, beauty, baby, grocery, personal care, and other products.
The exact brands, sizes, quantities, and spending requirements matter. For online, Drive Up, and Order Pickup purchases, the promotional GiftCard is generally issued after the qualifying items ship or are picked up.
Use the App to Compare Local Prices
Target prices and availability can vary by location, so the correct store should be selected in the Target app before comparing an in-store price with an online listing.
Scanning a barcode can also show current Circle deals and fulfillment options for the exact size, color, quantity, or model.
Browse Target Circle Deals, Target Gift Card Promos, Target Clearance, and Target Household Deals.
Use Target's Current Price Match Policy
Target can match a qualifying lower price on an identical item from Target.com, the applicable Target store, or an eligible automatic Target Circle deal. Price-match requests can generally be made at purchase or within 14 days.
A lower price from another Target store does not qualify for an in-store match, and clearance, promotional GiftCard offers, Target Circle Bonuses, and several other promotions are excluded.
Use Free Drive Up or Order Pickup
Order Pickup is free at participating Target stores, while Drive Up lets eligible app orders be brought directly to the shopper's vehicle. Both are usually ready within about two hours.
Pickup can be useful for smaller orders that do not qualify for free shipping and can also make it easier to shop from a planned list instead of adding extra products in the store.
Compare Shipping With Circle Card Benefits
Eligible Target.com orders of $35 or more qualify for free shipping in the contiguous United States. Orders below $35 without a Target Circle Card generally carry a $5.99 shipping charge.
Target Circle Credit, Debit, and Mastercard products provide 5% off eligible Target purchases, free 2-day shipping on many Target.com items, and an additional 30 days for eligible returns.
Consider Target Circle 360 for Regular Delivery
Target Circle 360 currently costs $99 per year or $10.99 per month and includes unlimited same-day delivery on eligible $35+ orders, free 2-day shipping on many items, and an extra 30 days for eligible returns.
Target Circle Card holders and qualifying verified groups can receive discounted membership pricing. The membership is most useful when same-day delivery or shipping benefits are used regularly.
