The Target employee discount is one of the best perks they give their workforce. As a matter of fact, you probably found this article because you’re considering applying for a job at Target, or maybe you’re a new hire seeking more info. But like any discount that retailer’s hand-out, there are certain caveats and hacks that you should know to maximize your savings. With that in mind, let’s break down the employee discount at Target and answer all your burning questions. What is the Target Employee Discount?Target hands out a 10% employee discount. This discount is good for both in-store purchases as well as stuff you buy at Target.com. Also, according to this Target employee, workers get an extra 10% off fresh (and frozen) fruits and veggies bringing your discount to a whopping 20%. What Form of Payment Can You Use?In order to get the employee discount you must use either cash, a Target gift card, or a Target REDCard. I highly recommend using the REDcard (either debit or credit card) as you’ll score an additional 5% discount, bringing your total discount to a solid 15%. Are Items Not Included in My Discount?Yes, there are quite a few items that aren’t eligible. Here are the big ones… – Alcohol – Don’t go buying booze with your discount. – Gift Wrapping – Gotta wrap your own gifts at home. – Hunting/Fishing License – Have to pay full price to hunt or fish your neck of the woods. – Target+ Items – Not sure what these are but you can’t get 10% off when you buy them. – Gift Cards – This one makes sense as it would be easy to make money off gift cards. – Stuff you Sell or Exchange for Profit – This one seems a little open-ended and left for the manager’s discretion.
