The FTC requirements mandate this quick reminder: The links to Target REDcard in this post contain affiliate links and I will receive a small commission if you make a purchase after clicking on my link, at no extra charge to you. As always, you can be absolutely confident I would never recommend a product or brand unless I am happily using it!
I don’t like gimmicks. I don’t like to sign-up for unnecessary credit cards just to save a couple dollars. You may think, as I did that Target’s REDcard falls into that category. So you may now wonder why would I tell you about Target’s REDcard? Good Question. Let me see if I can answer that for you.
As much as I love Target, I didn’t get my own REDcard until about 6 months ago. And I’d wish I’d done it sooner! It’s a free, no fee card with no hidden gimmicks, and lots of no-brainer benefits.
Just this week, I went there for a couple clothing items and some groceries. I don’t usually shop at Target for food, but if you have to go anyway, check out their Simply Balanced or Market Pantry items. Many times you can get them for cheaper than identical items at your local grocery.
Anyhoo, I digress. Back to the value of the REDcard – at checkout I saved an additional $27 right then and there by paying with that card. No coupons, no rebates. Although if you pair your shopping experience with Target’s Cartwheel app you can really see the savings add up ( I just suggest you check the offers on Cartwheel before you shop so you don’t miss the savings). Oops, I digress again. 🙂
So again why do I like my Target REDcard, and why do I recommend one? Let me count the ways:
6 Ways You Can Save at Target With A REDcard
