2. Scan the QR code on the drop-off box that will take you to the Target App. You will click "Add to Target Circle Bonus."
3. Find your offer in the Target App where it will remain until it expires.
4. Save money! Your bonus will be applied to your next qualifying purchase and can be redeemed twice. Click the + to save the offer. You can place an order online or scan the barcode at a cash register in-store.

The bonus is valid until May 11, 2024, and can be combined with other item offers. If at any time you need assistance, you can talk to a Team Member at Guest Services.

As for your old chair, it will be recycled by Target’s partners to create new products such as pallets, plastic buckets and construction materials such as steel beams and carpet padding, according to Target.
