Receiving Target Circle Benefits
When you are a Target Circle member, in order to receive, earn and redeem the Target Circle benefits, you need to provide your first and last name and a valid email address in your Target account. In order to receive birthday rewards, you also need to provide your birthday (month and day) in your Target Circle account.
To earn Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes, you must identify yourself as a Target Circle member when you make a purchase at Target. When you make a purchase in Target stores, you can identify yourself as a Target Circle member at checkout by entering your mobile telephone number (provided that you have already enrolled as a member by providing your first and last name and a valid email address, as stated above, and have provided a valid U.S. mobile telephone number in your Target Circle account), by scanning the Wallet barcode in the Target App, or by paying with the Target Circle Card connected to your Target Circle account. As of January 18, 2023, Target Circle Cards can no longer be connected to a Target Circle account. If you connected your Target Circle Card to your Target Circle account prior to January 18, 2023, you can continue to use that Target Circle Card to identify yourself as Target Circle member as long as you do not change the Target Circle Card number connected to your Target Circle account. You need to provide a valid United States mobile telephone number in your Target account if you want to use your mobile telephone number to identify yourself as a Target Circle member at checkout. When you make a purchase on Target.com or in the Target App, you can identify yourself as a Target Circle member by signing into your Target account before you place your order.
For in-store transactions, if you identify yourself as a Target Circle member in a single transaction using multiple identification methods (e.g., provide your telephone number and pay with the Wallet) that are not associated with the same Target Circle account, Target Circle benefits will be awarded to and/or redeemed from only one of the associated Target Circle accounts, which will be determined at Target’s sole discretion.
Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes do not expire as long as you are actively participating in the Target Circle program. Target Circle Rewards will expire if you have not earned or redeemed any Target Circle Rewards for one year. As of September 28, 2023, if you have only provided a mobile telephone number, but have not completed your enrollment as a Target Circle member by providing your first and last name and your email address to associate with your account, then you will no longer be eligible to earn any new Target Circle Rewards; any Target Circle Rewards accumulated prior to September 28, 2023 will remain available for redemption (subject to the one-year expiration timeframe) if you complete your enrollment. If you do not participate in Target Circle for more than one year, Target reserves the right to expire any uncast Community Giving Program votes and/or delete your Target Circle account without notice to you. Neither Target Circle Rewards nor Community Giving Program votes will be reinstated if they expire. Community Giving Program votes may expire before the end of any particular Voting Period.
One Target Circle membership is permitted per guest. Your membership and any Target Circle benefits, including Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes, are non-transferable and are subject to future Target Circle Terms. Neither Target Circle Rewards nor Community Giving Program votes can be combined or transferred between Target or Target Circle accounts.
Target Circle may be used only for personal, family and household purposes. You agree that you will not use Target Circle for business or commercial purposes. Resellers are expressly excluded from Target Circle. If you purchase items in violation of these Target Circle Terms, including purchasing items for resale, Target reserves the right to not award Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes, to deduct improperly awarded Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes, and/or to terminate your participation in Target Circle.
To the extent that you sign up for any benefit via an offer from a third party, any fees paid to such third party may be non-refundable and will be subject to the terms and conditions set forth by the third party, and disclosed to you, at the time of sign up.
Opting out of Target Circle and forfeiture of Target Circle Benefits.
If you no longer wish to be a Target Circle Member, you can opt out of Target Circle here. Opting out of Target Circle will not serve as cancellation of any Target Circle Card or Target Circle 360™ membership, if applicable to you; those cancellations are handled separately. Please call Target Card Services at 1-800-659-2396 for information about cancelling your Target Circle Card. To cancel your Target Circle 360 membership, please go to the Membership section of your Target account page.
If you opt out of Target Circle, any accumulated Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes will be deleted and you may not have access to other Target Circle benefits. If you later re-join Target Circle, any deleted Target Circle Rewards or Community Giving Program votes will not be reinstated.
If you or Target delete, suspend or close your Target Circle account or your Target account, any accumulated Target Circle Rewards and Community Giving Program votes will be deleted and you may not have access to other Target Circle benefits. Any deleted Target Circle Rewards or Community Giving Program votes will not be reinstated. In the event of any abusive or fraudulent activity related to Target Circle, and/or any violation of these Target Circle Terms, as determined in our sole discretion, Target reserves the right to make any adjustments to your Target Circle account and/or terminate your participation in Target Circle at any time.
If you enroll or participate in Target Circle using an invalid telephone number, such as a toll free number, international telephone number, invalid area code or invalid exchange, Target reserves the right to delete Target Circle Rewards, Community Giving Program votes and any other Target Circle benefit associated with the invalid telephone number. Target will not reinstate any deleted Target Circle Rewards, Community Giving Program votes or other Target Circle benefits if a valid telephone number is subsequently provided.
Target reserves the right to change, limit, modify or terminate Target Circle, the Target Circle Terms, and/or your membership, for any or no reason, at any time, with or without notice.

For any Target Circle Bonus to receive additional savings or promotional items:
To access any available Target Circle Bonuses, you must sign in to your Target Circle account and activate the Target Circle Bonus that you want to use on your Target Circle Deals page; Target Circle Bonuses will not be applied at checkout unless you choose to apply it to a specific transaction.

To redeem Target Circle Bonuses, you may use the Target App on your mobile device or a printout of your barcode. Photographs of barcodes will not be accepted. You may also redeem Target Circle Bonuses using the valid telephone number you provided for your Target Circle account.
Target Circle Bonuses may be valid in store and/or online, which will be stated in the terms of the Target Circle Bonus.

For any Target Circle Bonus to earn Target Circle Rewards or other incentives:
You must activate the Target Circle Bonus, make qualifying purchases or complete qualifying actions as stated in the specific bonus, and identify yourself as a Target Circle member to receive the stated Target Circle Rewards or other incentives stated in the terms of the Target Circle Bonus.
A qualifying purchase for purposes of a Target Circle Bonus is a transaction that meets all of the purchase requirements described in your bonus, such as a minimum purchase threshold or the use of a Target service (e.g., Drive Up or Order Pickup). A qualifying purchase excludes all items that do not earn Target Circle Rewards, as listed elsewhere in these Target Circle Terms.
A pre-ordered item is eligible for a Target Circle Bonus only if it is shipped during the stated Target Circle Bonus period. Online, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup and Drive Up purchases are eligible when the order is placed within the Target Circle Bonus period, but credit for the purchase isn’t received until the items ship or are ready for pickup, respectively. If qualifying purchases are returned, reversed or canceled, this may cause the transaction to no longer qualify for a Target Circle Bonus, which will be determined by Target in its sole discretion.
For any Target Circle Bonus with minimum purchase thresholds, the amount is calculated before other discounts (other than Target Circle Deals and sale prices) and taxes are applied. Your purchase subtotal should be more than the required purchase threshold to qualify.
Please allow 24 hours for your Target Circle Bonus to advance after in-store purchases. For online or Target App purchases, you will see your Target Circle Bonus advance once your order ships, is picked up or is delivered by a shopper if you use the Same Day Delivery service. Non-transaction Target Circle Bonus progress will reflect within 24 hours from the completion of the qualifying action.
For any Target Circle Bonus that awards Target Circle Rewards, Target reserves the right to deduct any Target Circle Rewards earned from a Target Circle Bonus from your Target Circle account if you no longer qualify for the Target Circle Bonus due to the return, reversal or cancelation of qualifying purchases or are no longer deemed to have completed the qualifying action.
Target Circle Bonuses are valid only for the fully enrolled Target Circle member who received the bonus and cannot be shared, copied or transferred. Limit one Target Circle Reward per Target Circle member per Target Circle Bonus. Not all Target Circle members receive Target Circle Bonuses and Target Circle Bonuses may vary. You must be a member of Target Circle at the time you make qualifying purchases or complete qualifying actions, respectively, and at the time the Target Circle Rewards are added to your Target Circle account. All other Target Circle Terms remain in effect, including the circumstances in which Target Circle Rewards expire.
Target Circle Rewards
As a member of Target Circle, you are eligible to earn Target Circle Rewards.
Target Circle Rewards can only be redeemed for certain merchandise or services at Target. Target Circle Rewards have no cash value and cannot be redeemed for cash.
Only purchases made at Target stores or online at Target.com or in the Target App or specified qualifying actions at or specified by Target are eligible to earn Target Circle Rewards.
Target Circle Rewards are not earned on the following:

To redeem Target Circle Rewards you will need a Target Circle account, including your telephone number if you joined Target Circle by providing your telephone number. Once your Target account profile is complete, you can redeem Target Circle Rewards. To redeem on your next purchase in Target stores, elect to apply the Target Circle Rewards in your Target Circle account, and then either provide your mobile telephone number (if you provided your mobile telephone number) or scan your Wallet in the Target App during checkout. To redeem on Target.com or the Target App, apply the Target Circle Rewards to your next online order during checkout on Target.com or the Target App.
When you elect to redeem Target Circle Rewards, the entire amount will be applied to your next purchase as a Target discount. You cannot elect to apply only a portion of your Target Circle Rewards to a purchase. If your purchase is less than the amount of the Target Circle Rewards you have applied, the remaining amount may be unavailable for a second transaction until the first transaction has completed processing.
Target Circle Rewards are applied to the total purchase amount after all other discounts have been applied to the purchase transaction, except that if you use your Target Circle Card to pay for the purchase, any applicable Target Circle Card 5% discount will be applied to the transaction after the Target Circle Rewards are redeemed.
Target Circle Rewards cannot be redeemed for the following:

Other restrictions may apply to redeeming Target Circle Rewards.
If you return an item that was part of a purchase in which you redeemed Target Circle Rewards, the amount of your redeemed Target Circle Rewards will be credited to your Target Circle Rewards balance (up to the value of the returned item), and any remaining refund amount will be refunded according to Target’s return policy. If items that earned Target Circle Rewards are returned, the associated Target Circle Rewards may be removed from your Target Circle Rewards balance. Target reserves the right to take your Target Circle Rewards to a negative balance (i.e., a balance in your account of less than zero Target Circle Rewards). In such event you will not have redeemable Target Circle Rewards until the balance of Target Circle Rewards in your account is greater than zero.
Beginning April 7, 2024, Target Circle members will no longer earn Target Circle Earnings rewards (the former name of Target Circle Rewards) at a rate of 1% of the eligible purchase amount every time a member uses a non-Target Circle Card form of payment. Any previously earned Target Circle Earnings rewards will roll over as Target Circle Rewards on the same terms and conditions as existed at the time they were received, subject to all other requirements set forth in these Target Circle Terms.
For Target Circle members who had a 1% Target Circle Earnings rewards balance as of September 4, 2019, the unspent earnings were transferred to an eGiftCard which can be found in your Target account or in the Wallet in the Target App. The eGiftCard does not expire and can be redeemed for merchandise or services other than gift cards and prepaid cards at Target stores or on Target.com but cannot be redeemed for cash or credit except where required by law. View the eGiftCard for terms and conditions.
Target Circle Digital Manufacturer Coupons
Manufacturer coupons are digital manufacturer coupons available through Target Circle.

To redeem Target Circle coupons, you may use the Target App on your mobile device or a printout of your barcode. Photographs of barcodes will not be accepted. You may also redeem coupons using the valid telephone number you provided for your Target account.
Target has the right to remove or cancel coupons from Target Circle, and from your Target Circle Deals page, at any time and for any reason without notice.
For coupons with a percentage discount, the actual savings may vary based on the item price at each store.

Birthday rewards given will vary and are limited to one award per year per Target Circle account.
Community Giving Program
Target may run multiple local Community Giving Programs. By participating in Target Circle you have access to one Community Giving Program associated with your preferred store location as designated in your Target account settings. In each Community Giving Program, Target will make a Donation to be allocated among Nonprofits. Eligibility of the Nonprofits will be determined by Target in its sole discretion. Multiple store locations may be tied to a single Community Giving Program. The Nonprofits, Donation amount and Voting Period may vary by Community Giving Program. The allocation of the Donation among the Nonprofits for each Community Giving Program will be based on the percentage of votes each Nonprofit receives during the applicable Voting Period for that Community Giving Program. With respect to each Community Giving Program, the list of participating Nonprofits, the dates comprising the applicable Voting Period, and the Donation to be divided among the Nonprofits can be seen by logging on to and viewing the Target Circle voting screen on the Target App or at Target.com/circle.
As a member of Target Circle, every time you make an eligible purchase and identify yourself as a Target Circle member, you earn one vote. Only purchases made at Target stores or online at Target.com or in the Target App are eligible to earn Community Giving Program votes.
Votes are not earned on a purchase transaction that is comprised only of one or more of the following: adult beverage purchases; purchases of prescriptions and over-the-counter items located behind the pharmacy counter; purchases made at some partner businesses, including in-store clinics, and Target Optical; purchases made on the Shipt App and tips for shoppers; purchases made from Target through third-party sites such as Google Express; purchases of Target GiftCards; purchases of Visa, American Express and Mastercard gift cards/prepaid cards; taxes, shipping, delivery, handling and all other fees or charges; payment of any Target Circle Card balance, debit card cash withdrawals at checkout and payments for insufficient funds; prior purchases; or where otherwise prohibited by law.
To cast Community Giving Program votes, follow the instructions located under Target Circle benefits in your Target account via the Target App or Target.com/circle. You must have access to internet through your own device to participate. You must be a Target Circle member in good standing to participate. Votes have no cash value and do not represent an actual donation to any Nonprofit; rather, they are just the means to vote for allocation of the Donation from Target in each Community Giving Program. Target’s tally of votes is final. Each vote is intended for one-time use by you. If Target detects any inappropriate conduct related to votes or votes made outside the above guidelines, votes may be disregarded. In the event any aspect of Target Circle, including the voting, is disrupted in any way, Target reserves the right to allocate the Donation for any affected location in a fair and equitable manner, as determined by Target.
From time to time, Target may provide the opportunity to cast Community Giving Program votes to direct additional or supplemental Donations. These opportunities may have terms and conditions in addition to or different from those provided in the Target Circle Terms. Unless otherwise stated, the Target Circle Terms will apply to any such opportunity.
