Target Credit Card Tips and Tricks
Apply In Store. If you don’t already have a Target credit card, you should probably apply in store, because they’ll usually give you 10% off on your purchases the day you apply.
Stackable Discounts for Online Shopping. You can use the 5% discount at Target.com, so you can combine it with other cash back programs, like Ebates for even more savings.

Does the card give a 5% DISCOUNT (as in, 5% off at point of sale) at Target or a 5% cash back at Target? I didn’t see any mention of this on their website.
