If you open a new Target RedCard by April 16th, you'll get a coupon good for $40 off of $40 or more. It isn't worth doing this deal for the credit card, but it could be a nice deal if you open the debit card and it has no fee or hard pull.

The Deal

  • Target is offering $40 off a purchase of $50 or more when you open a new Target REDcard between 4/3/22 and 4/16/22. Note that this applies to both the debit or credit card, but we only recommend doing the debit card deal.

Quick Thoughts

Most regular Target shoppers will find the $40 off of $40 to be an easy bonus, even though there are a bunch of exclusions. You can get $80 worth of stuff for free if you use the $40 off $40 coupon, which works both online and in-store.

If you shop at Target regularly, you will get 5% off both in-store and online, which is better than not shopping at Target at all, because I prefer to focus on larger bank account bonuses. It would be a poor deal to open the credit card over the debit card, given that there are so many credit cards on the market with better offers.
