My Target Guest Card Has Been Revoked!!!!

[Ron1]

I went to Target to buy groceries tonight. I used my Old Target Guest Card at the checkout. I swipped my card as usual. It didn't go through for some reason. I did it twice. I t was the same thing. I used my other Visa card to pay for the purchase. I called Target customer service. They told me they already deactivated my Old Target Guest Card. They also told me they are getting ready for new Target EMV Card.  I had to find my new Target Card to use it.

The target card is used to be called Target Guest Card back in early days when they were Retailers National Bank. I don't have it yet. They disabled my old card.

Target Guest card is very old name. Target card is used to be Target Guest Card.

1995 Target Offers Credit

The first Target store credit card, known as the Target Guest Card, launches in 1995. It's followed in 2001 by the Target Visa® Credit Card, the first company credit card to be accepted at major retailers nationwide. Renamed REDcards in 2004, the portfolio of credit products expands to add the Target Check Card in 2007.

Really?  They were the first cobranded Visa card? 

In some ways I find that interesting, since you can't get a cobranded card with them anymore.  I mean there is talk of the MC, but for the time being it is only replacing the existing Visa cards.  Credit cards are notorious money makers for banks that manage them well.
