My very best friend was one of the victims of this.

I will have to give her this info.

I am not affected by this breach.  I have not shopped at target in about 10 years-online or in store.  Only because the nearest one to me is about 60 miles one way.

Anyway, despite this I was able to sign up.  So were a couple other people I know of who are not affected by this.  SSSOOO.....go sign up while you can for this.

They might do some checking.... no?

[roadwarrior]

nope.  I'm signed up.  Signed sealed and delivered.  Not a target customer yet I was able to access it.  Just follow the sign up instructions.  Didn't even ask for a credit/debit card.

I am a Target RedCard user that directly takes payment out of my checking account while giving me a 5% discount. And I had used it during the time period that they were hacked to do 2 online orders as well as shopping in the store so I was really scared about my account. I first changed PIN numbers at the bank and called Target and canceled my card for a new one. I have to say that I have been quite impressed by the emails sent to me even before I did anything. They have given us suggestions as to how to make our online transactions safer as well as just general safety regarding our private info. And they have kept us up to date with several emails.
