Archived Lifetime discount.

[Targetman10]

When do you get a lifetim discount at target? Is it after 10 or 20 years of service?

 

[Sushi2Go]

Where did you hear this from?
As far as I know, there is no lifetime discount. Discount ends as soon as you quit Target.

On the bright side, you'd probably get a lovely 10 year anniversary card from Target. whoo hoooo!!!!

:'(

 

[Noiinteam]

No I do believe you keep your tm discount after 10 yrs. Seems to me I asked someone once, but I could be wrong

 

[BRMember]

I think it's if you hit the retirement age

You have to be 55, and be with Target 20 years.

 

[PassinTime]

I think it's 10 years of service and a certain age.

 

[Sickofspot]

I called on this, when I quit. You have to both be at least 55 AND have worked at least 10 years at Target. It is all or nothing on that deal. Sucks! I was there almost 20 years, but am not near old enough.

   ❏❏ Have 10 years of credited and continuous service, starting after your latest hire date. A year
   
   of credited service is a calendar year in which you were paid for 1,000 or more hours. (If you were age 45 or older and an active team member on December 31, 2002, five years of credited and continuous service will qualify under the grandfathered rule. Note: If you left the company and were rehired January 1, 2003 or after, you need to meet the 10-year eligibility rules.)
   
   If you are eligible for a retirement gift, you will receive information in the mail approximately two months after your retirement date.

[Kartman]

How is that signing away your soul?

"blah blah fuck target you work there for 20 years that's signing away your soul"

 

[BRMember]

Lol only about 5-7 yrs left then till my soul is signed and delivered then lol

 

[RhettB]

A coworker, well former, must have slipped through the processing with this one. They were there between 10 and 15 years and are under 45 and got it.

 

[Kartman]

you work there for 20 years that's signing away your soul"

I call that having a steady job. Go figure...

As HLM said, you must be at least 55 yrs old & have worked at least 10 yrs credited (1000+ hrs for the yr).
I looked into it (13+ yrs) but my first 4 yrs I was PT so I have to keep up my hrs for another yr (or 2 to be safe).
There's a TL that has been with spot for almost 20 yrs (high school hire) but she's a long way from being able to retire.

Well....got the work time in more than 10.....but need about 2 years on the retirement part.

If I were to work part time for the remaining 2 years (say 12 -15 hours a week).......would I be OK? I mean, except for the last few months when my hours have gone down I still have averaged 33 hours as listed on my pay stub.....so I've got this covered.

However, if they change the rules and if I have to do the "last two" years with the needed 1,000 hours then I might not qualify. For 1,000 hours you need about 84 hours a month.

Hmmm.....I'm just trying to figure out what I would need to do to make it to retirement and the 10% lifetime discount. I know that the life time discount may seem kind of petty, but if I can figure things out, why not try?

Perhaps I might be able to get a full-time job and then work a little each week at Target and then still get the discount..... Any one know the answer to this part of my set of questions?


Gosh, when did I get old enough to start thinking about retirement??!

1,000 hours a year is only an average of 19.25 hours a week.

 

[GoodyNN]

You're both right. It depends on whether you decide by weeks or months.

 

[Times Up]

1,000 hours a year is only an average of 19.25 hours a week.

In my store as a cashier that's impossible....other than 4th Quarter.

 

[pellinore]

Up until last Fall I was getting plenty of hours....however our store has bought into the 4 -51/2 shifts......that's why I'm thinking about looking elsewhere. It does appear that I'll be OK with shorter hours....since my first 10+ all have 1,000 hours.
