Target is a couponer's dream thanks to the famous "Triple Stack" — combining Target Circle offers, manufacturer coupons, and the RedCard 5% discount on the same item. This three-layer approach is one of the most powerful and well-known couponing strategies in America.
Target Circle is a free loyalty program that provides personalized deals, 1% earnings, and birthday rewards. The RedCard (available as debit with no credit check required) adds a flat 5% off every purchase, applied AFTER all other coupons. Together, they form the foundation of Target couponing.
Target's clearance schedule is another hidden advantage — they mark down items on a department-by-department schedule throughout the week. Knowing when your favorite department gets markdowns, then stacking coupons on top, is how experienced Target couponers score 70-90% off deals.
