The clause establishes Target's unilateral authority to modify account status and service access without constraint, creating operational flexibility for the company to manage accounts and transactions but establishing account continuity as conditional rather than guaranteed.
California customers using Target's same-day delivery service will now pay a CA Shipt Shopper Benefit Fee in addition to standard delivery costs, according to the updated terms. The terms do not specify the fee amount, structure, or whether it applies to all same-day orders or only certain product categories. Consumers in California should review their receipt or account details to understand the exact fee amount and whether it was previously being charged but undisclosed, or if this represents a new charge.
View change record →Target removed specific language that explained how Target Circle Bonus rewards are earned, calculated, and reflected in customer accounts across different purchase methods (online, in-store, Same Day Delivery, Order Pickup, Drive Up). Previously, the terms clarified that online orders counted as one transaction unless they included Target Plus items or used Same Day Delivery, and specified timing for when bonuses would appear (24 hours for in-store, upon shipment/pickup/delivery for online). Without this clarity, customers must now rely on in-app displays or support channels to understand exactly how their purchases contribute to bonus eligibility, which may create confusion about reward calculation or disputes over earned benefits.
View change record →Target's updated Terms and Conditions now include explicit governance for its Target Circle loyalty program and Target Circle 360 membership. The updated terms establish that membership is voluntary and that by joining or continuing to use the program, members agree to Target Circle-specific terms and the Privacy Policy in effect at that time. The terms authorize Target to update the Target Circle Terms, the Target App, or the website at any time without advance notice, with continued program participation constituting acceptance of those updates. You can choose not to join Target Circle or can stop participating in the program to avoid binding yourself to these updated terms.

"Target reserves the right to refuse service, terminate accounts, remove or edit content, or cancel orders in its sole discretion.— Excerpt from Target's Target Terms and Conditions
(1) REGULATORY FRAMEWORK: Unilateral account termination in consumer contracts implicates state consumer protection statutes including California's UCL (Bus. & Prof. Code §17200) and CLRA if the termination constitutes an unfair or deceptive practice. For users enrolled in Target Circle (a loyalty program), termination may implicate state gift card and loyalty reward statutes — California (Bus. & Prof. Code §17538.9), Washington (RCW 19.240), and other states require disclosure of expiration or forfeiture conditions for loyalty rewards.
