Target is offering $50 off a $100+ purchase with approval of a credit or debit RedCard.
This offer will be live on August 2, and is visible in the sneak peek of their weekly ad:

When the offer is live, apply here:

Note that applying for the debit version of the card does not cause a hard pull on your credit report. The coupon is valid through October 3, 2020, and is valid for online, in-store, pickup, and same-day delivery orders.
I applied for a debit RedCard the last time this promo ran, and was approved after 2 days. (Approval for debit may be instant if you're willing to let Target's 3rd-party partner access your online bank account. I skipped that and had to verify small deposit amounts instead.) You can use your RedCard online immediately after approval, but the coupon and card for in-store use are sent via postal mail...took a little over a week for mine to arrive.

Also, why get a debit card when a credit card gives more protection?
In case your trying to avoid hard pulls or keep the number of cards opened in the last 24 months under 5.

Yep, debit cards DO NOT show up on credit reports. That's the best and only reason for getting the red card debit over credit card.
I guess the later part is more important for me. Banks like chase will not let you open new accounts if you've opened more than 5 cards in the past 24 months. I'd much rather have a Chase card offer than a 50 off 100 coupon. Debit cards don't count which is why some folks would prefer the debit card variant.
