The holidays are quickly approaching and now is the time to get ready to save money on all of your purchases. In almost every store they ask if you want to sign up for their store credit card. Which cards are really worth it? One card that has so many benefits that you’ve heard us talk a lot about is the Target REDcard. There is a Credit and a Debit version. So, is it worth it?
Here are the benefits of the debit and credit Target REDcards:

With all of these benefits, I would definitely say this card is worth it! I would suggest going the Debit Card route. That way you don’t need to get your credit pulled, you won’t have a balance you need to pay off, there are no fees, no interest- nothing. The amount just goes directly out of your account. With the holidays coming up, saving an additional 5% off EVERY purchase and getting FREE shipping from Target is a definite bonus. The savings will add up and it will be worth it. So if you don’t have a Target REDcard you can apply for one now and start your savings.
