Target is expanding its membership program to include a free membership, retail payment card options, and the introduction of a new paid membership.

With over 100 million members, Target Circle has already established itself as one of the most influential loyalty programs in the retail sector.

It is worth mentioning that the free Target Circle membership will continue to provide users with access to personalized offers, exclusive member-only sales throughout the year and additional benefits and savings.

The most notable innovation lies in the fact that offers will be applied automatically at checkout, ensuring members will get the best value on every transaction.

This subscription includes unlimited free same-day delivery for orders over $35, in as little as one hour and with no delivery fees or markups.
