Target does not offer a military discount year round. However, the popular corporation does offer a 10% military and military families discount every November. In 2021, the discount activated on October 31st and was valid through November 13th, representing an expanded window from previous years.
In 2022, the window is expected to be similar, if not even wider. In addition, Target just announced that they are expanding their Military Discount to celebrate independence day. You will be able to get a 10% discount on up to 2 transactions, online or in-store, June 26 through July 4.
According to Veteran.com, Target shoppers can also “add a veteran or military family status to their Target Circle profile—making them eligible for bonus offers. With Target Circle, any member can vote to direct Target’s community giving funds to local military organizations in certain markets.”
Other stores that offer military discounts include CVS, which offers a 20% discount year round on their website, and Dollar General, which offers an 11% discount to veterans and military personnel on the second Wednesday of every month.
