The Target Holiday Wish List $5 bonus has ended — but we’re hoping it’ll return in 2025. The Target Holiday Wish List promotion, where select Target Circle Rewards members could earn an easy $5 by creating a Holiday Wish List, is now expired. This popular offer ran through Nov. 9, and we’re crossing our fingers that it makes a comeback in November 2025 or during the holiday season.

If you have a Circle card, you’ll save an additional 5% on future purchases too.

How to earn $5 by creating a Target Holiday Wish List (select Circle members only)

In Nov. 2024, you could earn a $5 Target Circle Reward for creating a holiday wish list through the Target app (download for iOS / Android) or on Target.com. You'll either get an email from Target with the subject line "Get $5 in Target Circle Rewards," or you'll see the offer in your Circle Rewards account.

If you’re one of the select Circle members who are eligible for this freebie, here’s how you could claim your $5 bonus:

  1. Sign up or sign in to Target Circle: If you’re not already a Circle Rewards member, sign up — it’s free and only takes a minute.

  2. Create your Target Holiday Wish List: After signing in, you’ll see a list of available registries and wish lists. Scroll down until you find "Holiday" and select it to start your list.

    • In the app: Click “My Target,” then scroll down to “Registry” and select “Holiday” from there.

  3. Add items to your wish list: Browse Target’s site or app to build your wish list.

  4. Receive your $5 reward: Once you complete your wish list (and make it public), Target will add $5 to your Circle rewards account. In most cases, the reward appears instantly, so you’ll have it ready for your next purchase.

Will the Holiday Wish List return next year?

Target has a history of bringing back popular holiday promotions, so we’re hopeful this $5 Holiday Wish List bonus will return next season. Keep an eye out around November 2025 for another chance to score easy savings.

In the meantime, you can still create a holiday wish list. Your wish list will help you keep track of items that may go on sale as the Target Black Friday deals start rolling in, giving you an organized way to spot discounts on the items you really want. Plus, you can share the list with friends and family so they can purchase off of it, and you won't have any duplicate gifts to exchange after the holidays.

The Target Holiday Wish List is an easy way to organize the gifts you want and share them with friends and family.

Target’s Holiday Wish List is an easy way to organize all your holiday gift ideas in one place. You can add items from different departments, including toys, electronics, and home decor, making it easy to keep track of everything you need in one spot. Plus, with the $5 Circle Rewards bonus, it’s a great excuse to start planning early.

Tips for Using Your Wish List and $5 Bonus

  • Check for price drops: With Black Friday and holiday sales on the horizon, your wish list can help you monitor price changes. If an item on your list goes on sale, you’ll be ready to shop.

  • Share with friends and family: Wish lists are perfect for dropping hints to family members about what you’d love for the holidays. You can share your wish list directly with others, making gift giving easier for everyone.

  • Combine with other offers: The $5 bonus can stack with other Circle offers and discounts, maximizing your holiday savings even more. You can even use it with the 25% off Target Toy Coupon.
