How to save at Target

Most of Target's best prices are not on the shelf tag. They come through Target Circle, the free loyalty programme, which applies percentage-off offers to specific items or categories at checkout once you have saved the offer to your account. The Circle app or website lists current offers; many are 20 to 30% off a category for a week.

Circle Week is Target's main sale event, usually in spring and again in the autumn; it is when Circle offers, Deal Days and clearance overlap. Circle 360, the paid tier, adds free same-day delivery but does not change prices.

Target promo codes exist but are rarer than Circle offers. They are typically tied to a category or a first pickup order and entered in the "Promo code" box at checkout. Clearance is marked with red tags in store and a "Clearance" filter online; the deepest markdowns tend to be in store rather than online.

Price match. Target matches its own online price in store and matches a set of major competitors' online prices, including Amazon, Walmart and Best Buy, at the time of purchase and for a period afterwards. That makes Target a useful place to buy something you have seen cheaper elsewhere if you prefer Target's returns and pickup.

RedCard takes 5% off most purchases at Target, in store and online, on top of Circle offers.

Target questions

Do Target Circle offers stack with promo codes?

Usually yes. Circle offers apply to the item price and a promo code applies to the order, so both can appear on the same receipt. Two Circle offers generally cannot apply to the same item.

How do I use a Target promo code?

Enter it in the "Promo code" box on the checkout page before you place the order. Circle offers are different: save them to your account first and they apply automatically.

Does Target price match Amazon?

Yes, for identical items sold and shipped by Amazon, at the time of purchase and for a period afterwards. Bring or show the current Amazon price; marketplace sellers are excluded.

What is RedCard?

Target's store card and debit card, which take 5% off most purchases at Target and extend the return window.

When is Target Circle Week?

Twice a year in recent years, in spring and in autumn ahead of the holidays. Dates are announced a week or two ahead on Target's site and app.
