Target will re-introduce its loyalty membership programme, Target Circle, with a suite of memberships on 7 April 2024. 

The programme, which already has 100 million members, will continue to offer free-to-join membership, a retail payment card option and a new paid-for membership in a move known as Project Trident, reflecting members’ desires for a more personalised shopping and saving experience.  These developments represent a bid to stimulate growth and remain competitive. 

Target chair and chief executive officer Brian Cornell said: “For years, Target has consistently built for the long-term, investing in the assets, capabilities and team that have differentiated our business, enabled us to deliver for guests in any environment and driven strong growth.  

“Today, with that same long-term view, we’re making strategic investments that expand on our core strengths, further elevate our guest experience and deepen our connection to both current and new guests. Most importantly, these plans provide fuel for our next era of growth.”
