Target Circle Week is returning this October, overlapping with Walmart Deals and Amazon Prime Big Deal Days after coinciding with both promotional periods in July.
And Target Circle 360 members will get early access to deals starting the day before, online and in stores. Announced the day before Walmart’s sales event, Target Circle Week 2025 is also the longest of the three promotional periods — a full week, as the name suggests. Walmart’s will be six days. Meanwhile, Amazon’s event will run for two days.
Target is highlighting discounts across essentials, apparel, Halloween items and early holiday gifting. It said consumers “expect deeper-than-ever discounts on Deal of the Day — available to all Target Circle members.” Target Circle is the retailer’s free loyalty program. It differs from the paid membership to Target Circle 360.
Paid members will have early access to shop for discounts, giveaways and Target exclusives, the retailer announced.
Target is No. 5 in the Top 2000. The database is Digital Commerce 360’s ranking of North America’s online retailers by web sales. It is also No. 64 in the Global Online Marketplaces. That database ranks the top such marketplaces by third-party gross merchandise value (GMV).
When is Target Circle Week 2025?
Target Circle Week will start before Amazon and Walmart’s respective promotional periods and overlap with both. This year, the fall rendition of Target Circle Week will run Oct. 5 through Oct. 11.
The summer iteration ran July 6 through 12, and Target Circle 360 members received early access to deals starting July 5.
Target is making its fall Circle Week promotional period available to consumers on its ecommerce website and app in addition to in stores.
Cara Sylvester, executive vice president and chief guest experience officer at Target, called the promotional period “the kickoff to holiday shopping with savings on the styles, trends and essentials.”
