Target RedCard 5% Off Purchases, $50 Off For New Applicants (New Reloadable Version)

(Update: New $50 limited-time offers for new RedCards, including new Reloadable version with no credit check. Offer expires 12/9/23.)

The Target RedCard offers 5% off all Target purchases both online and in-store (Target gift cards excluded, in-store Starbucks included) and free 2-day shipping on qualifying items at Target.com. You also get an additional 30 days for returns and exchanges. No annual fee.

There are now three versions of RedCard: Credit, Debit, and Reloadable. Debit and Reloadable have no credit check and I never carry a balance, so the credit card doesn’t interest me at all. There is a new limited offer for each that includes $50 savings on a $50+ Target purchase. The Debit and Reloadable version do not perform a hard credit check on the three major credit bureaus. There are a bunch of restrictions on big brands (see below), but I can easily spend $50 on food and other household goods. I plan on going for the new Reloadable version this time around.

Full fine print copied below. Usually I just make my pick-up order at Target and make sure the coupon works in the app before checking out. The Reloadable $50 bonus is much less finicky.

Get a $50 credit when you open a RedCard Reloadable Account & spend $50 at Target.

RedCard Reloadable Account: Get a $50 credit when you open a RedCard Reloadable Account and spend $50 at Target. To receive a $50 statement credit for the RedCard Reloadable Account, you must successfully register online at redcardreloadable.com for a new account between 10/29/23-12/9/23, then activate the permanent card once received in the mail and spend $50 (net of reversals/returns) at Target (“$50 transaction”) within 45 days of registration. The statement credit will be posted to the account within 30 days of the $50 transaction. The $50 transaction must occur in one transaction at a Target location or at Target.co; if you get cash back at the register during the purchase, the transaction will not qualify for this promotion. Limit one (1) $50 credit per customer. Offer is subject to change or cancellation at any time.

We’ve become regular users of the Target app and their Drive-Up option. No markups, well-organized, dedicated parking area, and minimal waiting. The online stock available is mostly accurate, better than Walmart in our experience which has more frequent, often-imperfect substitutions. If only Costco had a similar service! (Sam’s Club does have a pickup option.)
