Consumer impact
California customers who use Target's Same Day Delivery service will now be charged an additional fee called the 'CA Shipt Shopper Benefit Fee.' This fee applies to all Same Day Deliveries in California and was not previously disclosed in Target's Terms and Conditions. You can review your order summary at checkout to see the full breakdown of fees before completing a Same Day Delivery purchase.
Why it matters
California Target customers using Same Day Delivery now have a new fee applied to their orders, which was not previously disclosed in the Terms and Conditions. This matters because undisclosed or inadequately disclosed fees may violate California's Honest Pricing Law and FTC guidelines.
What changed
Target updated their Target Terms and Conditions on April 16, 2026. Change detected: 4 sentence(s) removed, 1 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 704 sentences after update.
Consumer impact
Target removed the explicit rules explaining how online orders with Target Plus items or Same Day Delivery are counted as separate purchase transactions for Target Circle Bonus eligibility. Shoppers who rely on splitting orders to maximize Circle Bonus qualifying purchases no longer have clear written guidance on how their orders will be treated. You can contact Target customer service or review the Target Circle program terms directly to ask how mixed orders are now categorized for bonus purposes.
Why it matters
Target Circle members who strategically structure orders to maximize bonus qualifying purchases have lost the written rules that confirmed their approach was valid. Without explicit transaction-counting rules, Target has more discretion in how it awards — or denies — Circle Bonuses on mixed or Same Day Delivery orders.

Consumer impact

This has no material effect on consumer rights, data, or finances.
Why it matters

Target updated their Target Terms and Conditions on March 23, 2026. Change detected: 2 sentence(s) added, 2 sentence(s) removed, 7 sentence(s) modified. Document contained 1018 sentences after update.
Consumer impact
Target's updated SMS terms now explicitly state that data collected through text messaging won't be sold to third parties for marketing, which is a positive transparency measure. However, a key change means that texting STOP will only unsubscribe you from that specific short code or number — you may still receive texts if you're subscribed to other Target text lists. You can review and manage all your Target text subscriptions by reviewing communications received from different Target short codes and sending STOP to each individually.
Why it matters
The opt-out scope change is the most consequential element — consumers who text STOP expecting to stop all Target texts will still receive messages from other Target lists they joined, which may feel like their opt-out was ignored. The new no-sale commitment provides a meaningful privacy protection, but the service provider sharing expansion slightly offsets that gain.

Why it matters
This change has no meaningful impact on consumers' rights, data, or finances. It reflects a minor content or interface update with no actionable implications for Target shoppers.
