Redbird (Target Prepaid) earns 5% off, without any impact to your credit record.   This can be loaded with a credit card at Target, earning bonus rewards if you have a (non-Amex) card that gives supermarket bonuses.   And for a plain 5%, I believe Target debit card also gives that.

The target card gives a flat 5% discount no points or rewards just immediate percentage off. I can't think of much better besides a double cash card or something of that sort. That is still only 2%.

The Target Red Debit Card allows you the same 5% discount.  There is not a credit check required (at least I never incurred a HP or SP as a result of applying for Target Debit).  However, I think the company that issues the Red Debit card would probably verify that you haven't a record of bounced or NSF checks or a history of closed checking accounts.  I have both the debit and credit card.  Started out with the debit because I didn't want the credit pull, and I have loved my card the 4 years I've had it!  Good luck!

And for those that can get the Redbird (still only in some states) this is a great card for those that go to target anyway.

JCB Marukai, if you are in the states where they do business.

The Target Debit card is easy to get. As long as you have a checking account, you should be good to go. It works exactly like a debit card, even allows cash back. As well as the 5%, of course.

Huh, interesting.  So, I could load it with a non Amex for the rewards, then get another 5% when using it?  I shall start keeping an eye on your posts for more insight lol.
