The best Target Deal Days deals
When is Target’s competing Amazon Prime Day 2022 sale?
The 2022 Target Deal Days is live now and will run until July 13. Amazon announced that Prime Day 2022 will run from July 12 to 13, so Target’s sale started one day earlier.
What deals will Target have during Amazon Prime Day?
Target’s competing Prime Day sale features deals on a ton of product categories, including up to $70 off Apple products, up to 50% off top tech products, and deep discounts on personal care products, clothing, robot vacuums, upright vacuums, and more. There is also a sale on Target gift cards; if you buy one online during Target Deal Days, you’ll get 5% off.
Target is also running a promotion for shoppers who use its same-day services, including in-store pickup and drive-up; if you spend $50 on food and beverage products, you’ll receive a $10 Target gift card to use at a later date.
What are the benefits of shopping at Target during Amazon Prime Day?
Target deals are accessible to everyone, not just Prime or Target Circle membership members.
Prime Day is one of the many benefits of being an Amazon Prime member, meaning that those without a membership are out of luck. Shopping Target’s Prime Day deals are also a good idea if you’re in a rush to get your order, since in-store pickup is often available for many items.
When is Amazon Prime Day 2022?
Amazon Prime Day 2022 will run from July 12 to 13.
Will RedCard members get extra discounts during Target Deal Days?
Target has not announced any exclusive deals or promotions for RedCard holders. Regardless, Target RedCard members will enjoy the same benefits during the competing sale they enjoy year-round, including free shipping with no order minimums and an extra 5% off at checkout.
Will the Target Circle program offer exclusive deals during Target’s competing sale?
Target Circle, the namesake’s rewards program, will likely be full of coupons and offers during Target’s competing Amazon Prime Day 2022. It’s free to join and unlocks discounts for Target shoppers year-round.
Can anyone shop from Target’s competing Amazon Prime Day deals?
Unlike Amazon Prime Day, which is famously an exclusive event for Amazon Prime subscribers, anyone can take advantage of Target’s competing sales.
From what we’ve seen in the past, Target tends to price match many of Amazon’s doorbuster-style offers. Of course, Target can’t replicate the breadth of Amazon’s deals, but it’s a worthy alternative for those who don’t want to pay for an Amazon Prime subscription.
If you have yet to become an Amazon Prime member, it’s free to try it out. The 30-day trial also grants you access to Prime Day. You’ll want to wait until you have the exact dates of Prime Day to make sure you don’t miss it if you plan to cancel.
How do I prepare for Target’s sale?
To get the best prices, download the Target App and enroll in the company’s free loyalty program, Target Circle, to reap extra discounts. Having these handy will not only save you money during Target’s sale but also year-round.
