If you're spending a significant amount, you'll want to make sure you're using a credit card that maximizes your purchases from the store. That's especially important during Target Circle Deal Days (running Oct. 6-7).
With the right card, you can earn cash back that goes into your pocket, or points that you can put toward that trip you've been dreaming about.

Your best bet might be to make a small purchase and check your statement to see how the purchase codes. If your Target is considered a grocery store, check out the best cards for groceries .
