Same Day Delivery Auth Charge Includes Buffer Amount

Target updated its Terms and Conditions on June 10, 2026, modifying provisions related to dispute resolution, account management, and service usage. The updated terms continue to include arbitration agreements, class action waivers, and jury trial waivers as part of the dispute resolution framework. The extent to which individual provisions were modified materially cannot be assessed from the available diff; consumers should review the complete updated Terms and Conditions at Target.com to understand specific changes to provisions affecting their rights.

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.

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.
