Circle 360 is mainly useful for Target regulars who can take advantage of the free year and occasional perks. The membership can help with same day delivery and shipping, and grocery delivery through Shipt is described as workable. But the value is dragged down by high Target prices, limited availability, weak monthly freebies, and the fact that many orders still require Shipt tipping or a $35 minimum. The free offer may also carry a fee in some areas, so it feels most worthwhile only if you already shop Target often.
Target regulars who already fill a $35 cart, because the membership can make same-day delivery and shipping worthwhile when they shop there a lot.
It can be worth trying if you already shop at Target a lot, but many say it is not worth paying for. The main drawbacks are high Target prices, limited availability, monthly freebies that are often useless, and delivery benefits that still come with $35 minimums and tipping expectations.
Yes, many orders handled through Shipt still expect a tip, and some say orders may be deprioritized if you do not tip. That makes the delivery feel less free even when the membership removes the delivery fee.
Yes, same-day delivery is through Shipt. The practical catch is that it may still involve tipping, and some shoppers prefer in-store pickup because the delivery experience and fees do not always feel worthwhile.
A recurring Black Friday pattern is reported where a free year is offered if auto-renew is set up at the right time. Timing the account around Black Friday can let the membership roll into another free year without paying.
The part that burned me when I tried this was that the "free delivery" expects you to TIP. While I understand the tipping economy, they sell it as truly free delivery...not a delivery service (where tipping might be expected).
I'd rather pay $7 for delivery than get free delivery and be expected to tip $7.
I agree with many people here. Circle is not worth it for most people or maybe for all people. IMO, if they had more groceries like a full grocery store then it would be worth it
The same-day delivery maybe free with membership, but they always all ask for tips. All the deals are no longer deals after adding tips. I prefer to pick-up in store now since the store is not far away from my home. Actually, all home delivery, except Amazon, are asking a lot of tips even the delivery fee is free.
Every year for Black Friday they give away a free year if you set up auto renew. So, if you time it right, you can have your account start and end during Black Friday, and continue to get this for free every year. Without paying any money at all. It's really not worth it anyway. The shipping is no faster than if you don't have one of these accounts, and the "free" gifts that they give out every month don't even add up to the $99 that you would normally pay for this.

The free Circle 360 year can be worth it for shoppers who buy from Target frequently.
Grocery delivery via Shipt can work well when shoppers communicate clearly during delivery.
RedCard reportedly provides the same shipping benefit as Circle 360, which can reduce the need for a paid membership.
"Free" delivery may not be truly free because Shipt handling can require tipping and orders may be deprioritized without it.
Target's high prices and limited availability can make it time-consuming to find enough value to justify even a free membership.
Monthly freebies can be mostly useless because good items may sell out within hours on the first day.
Same-day delivery can be limited to Shipt and may involve negative delivery experiences.
