[dannyy315]

Just announced. RedCard is changing to circle card, and new circle 360 service with 1 hour delivery and 2 day shipping. $99/year, but $49 for the first year if you have a circle card.

Get Ready: Target Circle is Getting Even Better with Three New — and Easy — Ways to Shop and Save

Walmart+ is free for team members, I wonder if we'll get these perks for free.

Ahahaha this Target not Wendy’s. We’ll get charged more.

or we might but I’d not place that bet myself.

 

[Mikuhl]

Now team members saying "are you signed up for the circle card?" in reference to the target circle cell phone number prompt will be even more wrong!

At first, I thought the same thing- they should make Circle 360 free for TMs. But..... honestly I don't think I'd ever need/use it. I'm already at the store full-time so it's pretty easy to pick up what I need last minute. And while 2-day shipping is nice, I still don't need it (also I've received .com items in 2 days before w/o having to pay for convenience).

Kind of underwhelming overall on this one, but I'm sure there will be people who will get a lot of use out of it too.

It's not just same day delivery from Target, it includes access to Shipt in the Target 360 plan for no additional fee (beyond the $49 [for the first year] sign up fee). So, free delivery from wherever Shipt is offered

I think that’s the idea with Walmart. Give the idea of an added perk knowing most people won’t use it.

I have Walmart+. I probably don't use it enough to keep paying for it but I get Paramount+ with it (I'm a soccer fan and they have the UEFA Champions League).

I'm curious if this new Target one will add anything outside of Shipt.

I don't have a car right now so this can help me buy more at once or big items.

Right, and I have a RedCard already (sorry, Circle Card), so I already get free 2 day shipping. If I need something last minute and I can't go out, I have a complimentary Uber Eats membership as one of my credit card benefits, so I can use that for groceries or OTC stuff.

Also of note, Circle offers will automatically be applied, so you don't need to find them in the app and add them first.

Unfortunately they're getting rid of the 1% off for using Circle without a Red/Circle card.

Companies push subscription services because once you add it they know guests will just let it renew automatically.

Streaming services do this all the time.

THIS i actually love and am excited for

I already have to explain the difference between Target Circle and the RedCard.

I can't wait to see how it gets over-complicated now that we're calling it the 'Circle Card'.

How does this affect Target Red DEBIT Cards?

 

[Mikuhl]

It would be absolutely sick if it automatically price matched every item to online. That would save insane money.

 

[Reshop Ninja]

I got the confirmation today. It's free for team members for up to one year. You just need to make sure your team member number is added to your Target wallet.

Is it really? That would be cool if true. But I did the online training for it today and this little blurb made me not so optimistic about getting a free or discounted subscription-

"The best way to learn all the great ways the Target Circle program can benefit guests is to sign up yourself (enrollment not required). Using the tools will not only help you know what to say to guests, but also save YOU money in the process. Win-win!"

yes just apply your TM discount number to your Target.com profile by March 22nd and you will be eligible to have it discounted 100% at checkout.

details should have been given on the steps you need to take but if you already have your discount linked there is nothing you need to do besides waiting for the discounted enrollment period in April.

Cool. Pretty cheap for them to only make it free for one year.

 

[SuperTarget]

Just make sure you wait until that discounted rate kicks in in April

 

[SuperTarget]

Guests can save $50 on it and get it for $49 for a brief period as well in April.

Do you have to a Target Debit or Credit card on Target.com to get this service?

I have my TM discount number on my account but don't SAVE any forms of payment in it unless it's a gift card.

 

[jackandcat]

Will Target finally integrate the Redcard Reloadable -- nka Circle Card Reloadable -- so it can is eligible for TM discount online? Currently, unlike Redcard Credit and Redcard debit, Reloadable is only accepted in-store for TM discount and not online. This is a pity because Redcard Reloadable is a great liquid-cash spending option for many TMs.

How does this affect Target Red DEBIT Cards?

I didn't see anything specific in the training about the debit cards, but as far as I'm aware, both the credit card and the debit card will be rebranded as Circle Cards. So it will just be the Circle Credit Card and the Circle Debit Card, with Circle taking the place of Red
