Target Circle Deals, Bonuses, Coupons, and Rebates

Free Target Circle members receive most Target Circle deals automatically at checkout and can activate personalized bonuses, digital manufacturer coupons, and rebates. Target Circle Rewards can still come from qualifying promotions, but Target has removed the former general 1% purchase-earnings benefit.
