Target is currently offering a coupon good for $40 off of $40 or more when you open a new Target RedCard by 10/14/23. It probably isn’t worth doing this deal for the credit card, but it could be a nice deal if you’re opening the debit card since that card has no fee or hard pull — making this a free and easy $40 win for Target shoppers.

The Deal

  • Target is offering $40 off a purchase of $40 or more when you open a new Target REDcard between 9/3/23 and 10/14/23. Note that this applies to both the debit or credit card, but we only recommend doing the debit card deal.
  • Excludes Reloadable cards.
  • Direct link to ad
  • Direct link to debit card page

Quick Thoughts

There are a bunch of exclusions above, but most regular Target shoppers will still find $40 off of $40 to be an easy bonus. You’ll then be eligible for future coupons again 6 months after you last opened it (requiring closing and re-opening the card). This deal used to be churnable every ninety days and target clamped down. Now, dp’s indicate that you must wait 6 months from closing a debit RedCard before Target will approve you for a new one.

Target is now requiring that the coupon be uploaded to the Target app and the recipient be fully enrolled in Target Circle. Previously, the $40 off $40 coupon worked both online and in-store, meaning that you could get $80 worth of stuff for free from one coupon. Since this will be uploaded to an online Target Circle account now, you have to scan it in store in order to use, spelling the end of the $80 online/in-store double dip.

I generally prefer to focus on larger bank account bonuses, but this is nonetheless an easy win and the deal is better still if you shop at Target regularly since the debit card gives you 5% off both in-store and online. There isn’t any benefit in opening the credit card over the debit card (and in fact that would be a pretty poor deal given so many credit cards on the market with offers that are much better than a $40 coupon).
