How to Apply for the Target Red Card Credit Card

The Target Red Card Credit Card is a welcomed card by all of loyal Target customers out there. This card has a reasonable interest rate of 22.90% APR for purchases and the added bonus of a 5% discount on all purchases made at Target (both online and at retail locations). With the lack of cash advance, the Target Red Card Credit Card definitely loses a few points in our review, however the rewards program that is available does make up for it. Applying for a Target Red Card Credit Card is a strenuous, taxing process that will require your absolute best for successful completion. Kidding, it’s very straightforward, but in order to further simplify the process we’ve laid out the steps in a convenient step-by-step layout below.
