Last weekend while I was at Target, I signed up for the Target debit card. Last year I did a post that referred to it, when I first found out about it and some other great things at Target. As much as I have shopped at Target between now and that post, I’m just now signing up for it. That’s mainly because I am often with the kids at Target and don’t want to deal with the hassle. That and you have to have an actual check on hand with you to sign up and I don’t use my checks so it took me a while to find mine. O_o And I actually did try once to sign up but the cashier kept entering the info wrong and having to delete things and it made the system say it would send me the application. Well I never got the application and I was thinking I had been declined. But I never got the required decline letter. So I decided that the next time I was at Target alone and had the time to submit the app, that I would. And I did!
Today I got the card in the mail. I was given a temporary slip to use until it arrived. The purpose for this post is to share with you that the card has even more benefits than I once thought and posted. Upon reading the literature and registering online, I am really glad that I finally got it!
Aside from the 5% savings on every purchase made using the card, it gets better than that. Before it was only for in-store purchases and only Target credit card users could use it online, but now debit card users can get the same savings online! And this is what really made me smile: FREE SHIPPING!!! No minimum purchase, anytime I use it, I get free shipping!!! That’s the best thing ever!!! I already love Target but oh wow!!
Can’t wait till we move and I have access to a Super Target!!! aaaahhh {angels singing}
I also went ahead and registered my daughter’s school for their Education program. They haven’t received a donation since August 2011, so I’m about to change that!
This was just a quick post to share with you another way to save. And this way is pretty effortless really. I mean, for me, I don’t shop with cash usually, so it’s no biggie for me to use this card over my debit card. 5% off each and every purchase is more money in my pocket. You may say it’s only 5% but savings is savings. Especially as much as I love me some Target! Free shipping online and supporting your child’s school are icing on the cake. Happy saving!! 🙂
