Target’s Frequent Shopper Program

Target does a fantastic job at making their customers feel like they're always saving a buck or two.
They have 3 particular ways of doing this:


  • REDcard – is a store credit/debit card with a simple “cashback” concept, you simply get 5% off anything, and everything you purchase either in-store or offline. This program not only saves you money, but it also contributes to local schools through donations. 
  • Cartwheel by Target – is an app that allows you to scan products in-store to find offers during your shopping run. All you really have to do is add items, and then scan them, but it can be a hassle… Sometimes the scanner doesn’t work, sometimes there are glitches and sometimes it even logs you out.
  • Coupons – cardholder or not, every time you shop at Target you always get coupons printed with your receipt. These coupons tend to offer discounts on products you might be interested in the future based on what you just bought.   


side note: when it comes store cards (debit/credit) consumers should be aware that they’re pairing up their bank account information with the brand’s database; with their sensitive data floating around in other data warehouses, customers should always keep an eye out on their bank statements in case of any data breaches. 

Here I have attached a picture of my Target goodies: Cartwheel App, Pharmacy Card, REDcards, including the new and revamped version that contains a chip :)
