For more information about the shopping event, continue reading to learn about its exact dates, upcoming products on sale and how you can join their free loyalty program so you don’t miss out on these limited-time deals. 

Target Circle Week will start on Oct. 6 and will run until Oct. 12. During the seven-day sales event, members can shop the sale both in-person and online — deals will be automatically applied at checkout. 

In addition, Target’s Deal of the Day program will return with exclusive one-day deals available daily during the week. Once Target Circle Week is over, the Deal of the Day program will also end; however, it will return on Nov. 1 and last the remainder of the holiday season.

In addition to accessing Target Circle Week sales, this membership unlocks exclusive deals throughout the year and allows you to earn rewards on eligible purchases. You’re able to use these rewards toward future purchases. 

You can also use this membership to unlock deals and games personalized to you and your shopping habits, receive birthday gifts, cast community support votes (to help the retailer choose charities to donate to) and uncover deals with Target Circle partners, including Apple and Ulta Beauty.
