I know a few TMs that have over 100 hours of PTO that they are saving for whatever reason.

I always explain to them if you get let go those hours are not paid out.

However I thought that Target changed their policy in regards to how much PTO you can add.

I thought in the past you could only take add PTO to your AVERAGE HOURS but now I thought it was up to 40.

Does PTO count towards hitting overtime? Say I'm scheduled 36 hours and request 4 hours PTO for that week, will I need to make sure I don't hit OT?

No. The amount of PTO actually paid to you will depend on how many hours you worked. If you ended up working 37 hours that week but submitted 4 hours PTO, you'd only get paid for 3 hours PTO.

I've had that happen a few times when I hadn't done my math right.

PTO payout is only guaranteed in some states and jurisdictions by law.
Anywhere else, those hours will be gone if you separate from the company.

Use your PTO, people!

I'm in one of those states where paying out PTO upon separation is at the employer's discretion.
And thank you @SigningLady for clarifying this - I'm going to start putting in for a few hours here and there to use up some of what's banked. I'd rather use the money to pay off bills than have the time off and come back to find a disaster in my area. I'll save some for when family comes to visit and for a break after 4th quarter, but take the $$ otherwise.

When I did this and the total was over 40 it didn't add at all I believe.

I would just estimate what you want and subtract 0.5 hours.
