Save 20% on preorders: Target is offering college students a 20% discount on video game preorders right now. And yes, that includes Grand Theft Auto VI. The standard $80 price drops to about $64 through the discount, which is great since it’s one of the most anticipated game releases in years. You’ll need to verify your enrollment with a school-issued document to qualify.
Target Circle Card
Save 20% on video game preorders
GTA VI is the headline here, but the student perks go well beyond gaming. Target Circle membership is free, and once you’re verified as a college student, the 20% preorder discount also applies to other games. For anyone heading back to school with a gaming habit and a tight budget, this one’s worth grabbing.
Circle 360, Target’s paid membership tier, is over 50% off for students, dropping to $5 a month or $49 a year with a Target Circle Card saved to your account. That gets you free shipping, same-day delivery and monthly freebies. There’s also 5% off every in-store Starbucks location, which adds up if you’re on a caffeine binge to submit assignments before midnight.
The Circle card itself stacks 5% off on top of existing Circle deals, plus extended return windows and free two-day shipping. It’s worth noting that the $5 discount rate remains in effect as long as you remain eligible and keep a Circle card on your account. Let either lapse and it reverts to $11 a month.
Between an $80 game and the cost of the console to play it on, GTA VI is an expensive hobby before you’ve even started. So, it’s worth checking out our roundup of the best PlayStation 5 deals.
Why this deal matters
For students watching every dollar this back-to-school season, this is a useful ecosystem of savings, and GTA VI at $64 is just the starting point. Between game discounts, free shipping and a discounted Starbucks habit, Target Circle is a student deal worth taking advantage of.
