When talking about one of the largest online e-commerce websites, Target is usually mentioned. This one allows its user to purchase almost everything at the discounted prices from its store. Just like any other online e-commerce websites, Target has a website. The official website of Target allows its users to do a few things such as creating and editing account information, uploading pictures, browsing or searching through the list of products and purchasing the product from the store.
While it is true that Target is loved by many, there are some people who want to delete their Target account due to some reasons, such as:
-
- They keep getting a number of ads through their emails from Target regarding offers, updates or discounts.
- They want to cancel their subscriptions but they have no idea how to do it so they look for a way to delete their accounts as a whole.
- They have moved to a different location where Target is not available.
If you are one of these users who want to delete your Target account because you keep getting the ads through your email and you feel annoyed, instead of deleting your Target account, you are suggested to avoid ad emails or unsubscribe from services. However, if your reason is something else, there is no one that can stop from deleting your Target account.
Before deleting your Target account, you have to know that there are a few kinds of Target accounts. Below are some of the options that you may have signed up for:
-
- Target.com: Target.com refers to the official website of Target. It is the place where customers like you can place orders to purchase items. You may have purchased something before from this website and you may want to delete your account and password because this account is connected to your email address, home address, and credit card number. The possible reason why you want to delete your Target account is because you want to prevent yourself from being the victim of identity theft.
- Target Circle: Target Circle is the name of a rewards program that is offered by the store. Deleting the account of Target Circle is a different process from removing your account from Target.com.
- Target RedCard: Target RedCard is the name of a credit card that is related to Target. This one is only able to be used at Target. Before deleting your credit card account, you should know that it may affect your credit score. Deleting this account is a separate process from deleting the two accounts mentioned above.
There are several different methods that you can try if you want to delete your Target account. All of them can be found below:
Method 1: Deleting Target account via the official website of Target
The first method to delete a Target account is via the official website of Target. This method is not a straightforward process as there is no direct option provided in the website user interface. To try this method, here is step by step to follow:
-
- The first thing that you have to do is to go to the official website of Target.
- When you are there, log in to your account by using your username and password.
- After logging in, scroll down to the bottom of the page and then click Help.
- Then, click on Contact Us.
- After that, choose Target.com order experience from the dropdown.
- The sixth step is to click on Chat Now.
- By doing so, a pop up chat window will show up, in which a personal assistant will respond to your query.
- It is time for you to request for an account deletion via the chat window.
Please take note that it would take a couple of days to delete your Target account from their database even if your account has been disabled by the customer case. While it is true that you are still allowed to access it, there are no other things that you can do using the disabled account.
Method 2:
The next method to delete your Target account online is through email. If you are interested in this method, follow the following instructions:
-
- Firstly, go to the official website of Target and then log in to the email account that you have registered with Target.
- Then, compose an email and send it to guest.service@target.com.
- Before sending it, make sure to type the subject as “Request for account deletion” or “Hotstar account deletion”.
- In the body section of the email, do not forget to also include the reason why you want to delete your account and request for deletion. If you have no idea how to write, here is an example for reference:
Hi,
