cartwheel-mergeIf you are one of the many like me who tried out the sign up for Cartwheel with Email, you may have two separate accounts currently…one for Facebook and one for Email and they may not be synced. When Target was first testing signup for Email accounts, it was not possible yet to connect the two accounts. Well, good news! Now you can and the instructions are quick and easy. 🙂

To merge your Facebook and Email accounts, go to www.Cartwheel.com, and log in with your preferred sign-in method. Next, click on “Settings” in the sidebar. Once you’re on the “Settings” page, you should see the Accounts section. Select which type of account you’d like to merge – Facebook, Google, or even your Target.com accounts – and follow the instructions.

I merged my accounts easily and now all my savings and badges are consolidated! Plus, you can continue to sign in using your preferred method. Note: only one Facebook account is allowed per profile, although multiple Target.com accounts can be merged into a single Cartwheel profile. If you would like any additional information, you can always contact Target and ask for assistance with your Cartwheel account, 1 (800) 591-3869.

If you are not familiar with Cartwheel, this savings program introduced by Target, allows you to save even more when shopping in-store. Even better- these offers can be used with Target Coupons AND Manufacturer coupons for up to a triple stack! You can see my post HERE to help get you started.

How Target Cartwheel Deductions are Calculated

FAQs & Basics
39 Comments

target-cartwheelSome time ago, Target started implementing that Target Cartwheel be scanned last, after all other Target coupons & manufacturer’s coupons have been scanned. Since then, I have gotten many comments & e-mails from readers wondering why I calculate my deals the way I do when Cartwheel is scanned last.

So I just wanted to take a minute to try and help clear up the confusion. While Target Cartwheel should be scanned last, (in fact- there is now a screen that pops up when a cartwheel bar code is scanned, asking the cashier to confirm that all other coupons have already been scanned) it does not affect how Cartwheel discounts are calculated.

So I just wanted to show you an example of how this change in the order of cartwheel being scanned has absolutely no effect on how the discount is calculated. It remains the same as when Target first implemented Cartwheel. A Cartwheel percentage is always calculated AFTER a Target Coupon, and BEFORE a manufacturer’s coupon no matter when it is scanned.

cartwheel-example-receiptSo here’s an example for you. I purchased a 4-pack of GE Reveal Light Bulbs for $4.19. I hand over a $2.00 Off Target Coupon, bringing the light bulbs down to $2.19. Next I hand my $1/1 Manufacturer’s Coupon for GE Light Bulbs over. And the very last thing I hand over is my Target Cartwheel Barcode and as you can see- it has deducted 25% Off $2.19 which is = to .55 cents (item cost minus Target Coupon), making my total before tax .64 cents. Had the deduction been taken after both coupons, I would have only gotten .30 cents for cartwheel and my total would have been .89 cents before tax.

So even though Target stores are asking that Cartwheel be scanned last- no worries! You are still getting the full discount the same as it always was- which is a deduction based on a percentage of the item’s cost minus any Target Coupon used.

I hope this helps clear the confusion up a bit. For more information on how Cartwheel works, you can check out my post HERE to help get you started. If you are interested in doing the GE Reveal Light Bulb deal- all these coupons are still available and you can check out that post HERE.
