Well, that changed fast.
If you came here looking for the free Starbucks coffee or Bullseye cookie that was supposed to show up in Target Circle today, do not make a special trip for it. The deal site that originally reported the October 6 offer has now updated its post to say Target pulled the offer before it went live.
Hip2Save updated its report after readers checked their Target accounts and could not find the coupon. The site now says the free coffee-or-cookie offer will not be available.
So is the free Target Starbucks offer happening?
At this point, no. The reported coupon was supposed to give Target Circle members a free hot or iced brewed Starbucks coffee or a Bullseye cookie on October 6 at participating Target Starbucks locations. Hip2Save now says Target pulled it before launch.
That matters because the coupon was supposed to live in the Wallet tab of the Target app. If the offer is not there, there is nothing to scan at checkout.
Target Circle Deal Days are still happening
The separate Target shopping event is not the same thing as the canceled Starbucks freebie. Target officially announced Circle Deal Days for October 6–7, and regular Target Circle membership is free.
So yes, the Target sale is real. The free Starbucks coffee-or-cookie offer is the part that disappeared.
For the rest of the sale, our Target October Circle Deal Days guide has the bigger event. And our October restaurant deals calendar has other food offers worth checking.
I hate a disappearing free-coffee situation as much as anyone, but I would rather tell you before you drive across town for a coupon that is not there.
