I encourage SCers to e-mail Target about getting the Target Canada coupons online, like in the US. (US coupons: http://coupons.target.com/).
The offers should be as good for Canadians as for the US shoppers. Only fair.

Additional Red Card Deals

*US stores offer free shipping at www.target.com:top:
*US stores offer 5% off your purchase in store or at www.target.com:top:
*30 extra days for returns:top:
YMMV

In 2013, I hope you get everything that you want and that you desire.
The stores closed in Oct will be opening in the next 3 months. According to plans employees are getting trainned in january. Store refurb continues in Feb and by March delieveries will start getting in. So according to that they suld be open by April but still no exact dates. Source:I got job @ Target recently.Quote:

I agree about Canadian Tire. They are good at being competitive with other stores. I think Canadian Tire will survive very well. Especially if they continue with their scratch card deals.Quote:

Might I add this will be the same flyer THEY pay to distribute ;) Then they will just end up in the same boat Zellers did.Quote:

I hope we can expect the staff to be as attentive in Canada as they are in the US...but I won't hold my breath. Our one Zellers in particular has been a dumping ground of either empty shelves, messy merchandise, no prices on items, no staff that would care enough to help.....rusted-out staff...who, since I asked many of them, are taking their retirement. Finally!
I am closer to a US target then my soon to be local one. Can't see me shopping there too much
For the SCers who like their US deals but have that no shipping to Canada hurdle-get your US mailing address and then you can get those deals.
For me, Target will be given an opportunity in its first year to hopefully supply items in cheery colours that seem absent from current offerings in bedding and bath items seen in other retail stores. I understand that US Target supposedly carries shower curtains by Spring Hill/Maid? and since that is the name on the tag of my current curtain from Sears (circa 2000 or so), I'd like see some new curtains from that brand.
I tried to see the card terms for the Target RBC MC but they are not fully listed, just how the 5% discount works-not applicable to Target gc or prepaid cards nor pharmacy among the items listed.
RBC must have wanted that loyalty card program to have it with Target!
I will check out the new Target but I am not sure they will get a lot of my business. Wal-Mart is a lot closer for me and I am really not sure how competitive Target is going to be. It has been said that to start there main focus will not be on the 1 stop shop yet, they want to enter the market slowly and there main focus will not be on grocery and household needs which surprises me, especially since they got the huge Zellers in Aurora, Ontario. If there main focus is not going to be the 1 stop shop how are they going to fill that store. When that Zellers first opened their grocery section was great but as time went on, it went downhill. Never had what was on sale and in general I found the store messy.
I said this in another thread about Target, the issue here is the same, Target does these things in the States as they have to compete. It is like many other American stores looks at the rewards and discounts offered in the States and than look at them same chains in Canada. None of the same rewards and discounts are offered, why because no one is going to be the first one to do it unless they have too. Everyone said Wal-Mart would be exactly the same in Canada as they are in the US but they are not, it was not until the Canadian dollar went up that pricing the same or close to what it was in the States, why because in Canada there is not the same competition here and they are not going to be the first. Unless Target coming forces Wal-Mart to take these steps or Target is forced to, to compete with Wal-Mart I highly doubt we will see the same rewards and discounts.
Let's be honest how many people cross boarder shop, they keep saying Canadian retailers are trying to keep Canadians in Canada but when the US chains we have in Canada do not offer the same discounts in US people will keep crossing the boarder to shop and these stores although taking small steps they are not willing to go as far as they do in the US to get your business, why because most cross boarder shoppers are shopping at these stores in US so no matter what they are still getting your money. It is sad but true, I will be happy to see Target offer coupons in Canada but I think if they do it will probably be at least a year or more before they even start to talk about it.
We will see some good competition among stores, as they try to get our business. That is the best part of Target coming.Quote:

The reward of free shipping alone makes this card awesome. I frequently shop Target.com. I have a friend who puts my purchases on her red card - I get 5% savings and free shipping, and I just send her a cheque (she's in the US and I pick up my order from a parcel service as I am in a border town).Quote:

It was honestly depressing to shop at Zellers! Rusted-out staff, dim lighting, narrow aisles, merchandise flopping all over the place, no prices on most items so that WE'RE expected to do the job of the staff and find our own prices on those stupid posts that are too few and far between, anyway! How on earth did they expect to stay afloat?:shrug:Quote:

Glad you signed up for the e-mail. Their slogan is "Expect more. Pay less.":-)Quote:

I hope this doesn't happen. I hope they give us some deals. If not, I will be contacting them.:top:Quote:
