Target Offers a 15 Percent Sitewide Discount on Cyber Monday

James K. Willcox

Tired of sifting through the river of Cyber Monday specials looking for the one item you want? Target has made life a bit easier by discounting almost everything on its website by 15 percent.

The retailer has even offered to sweeten some of the deals by letting them "stack" on top of other discounts, including those in its current “10 Days of Deals.” If you're shopping for electronics products, though, you may be disappointed. While a TV, headphones, and a game console are among the touted specials so far, the electronics pickings look slim beyond them.

Updated, November 30, 2015: Target's exclusions to the 15 percent discount include a number of electronics categories and items. You won't get 15 percent off Samsung and Vizio TVs, DSLR cameras and lenses, Google Chromecast, Bose products, the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo game consoles, Sonos audio products, and Go-Pro action cams.

To get the 15 percent sitewide discount on Cyber Monday, just use the promo code "CYBER15." Target says there will also be nearly 75 "e-doorbuster" specials, nearly three quarters of which will offer—for that one day only—more than 50 percent off the regular price.

To get a look at the retailer's Cyber Week deals, which launch on Sunday, November 29, visit Target's ad site.

Here's a quick snapshot of the deals that have been announced:

Cyber Monday

  • Xbox One 500GB "Gears of War: Ultimate Edition" Bundle, $300, plus a free EA sports game and a three-month subscription to Xbox Live. We've seen this price elsewhere.

  • Licensed kids’ cameras, including "Frozen" and "Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles," at 50-percent off.

  • Select Sennheiser in-ear headphones, also 50 percent off.

  • A Swagway x1 Hands-Free Smart Hoverboard, $399, a claimed savings of $100.

Cyber Week Deals

  • A 48-inch Samsung UN48JU6400FXZA 4K Ultra HD TV, plus a free $100 Target gift card, for $600. The TV, which is in our TV Ratings (available to subscribers), is usually $900, according to Target, although it's selling for $750 on Target now.

  • A Dyson Ball Compact Allergy Vacuum will be 30 percent off, with 25 percent discounts on all other Dyson vacuums.

  • Select KitchenAid professional 5-quart stand mixers at 50 percent off, plus 20 percent off all other KitchenAid appliances.

Under the "10 Days of Deals" program, those spending $75 or more at a Target store on Black Friday will get a 20 percent discount off an entire purchase made between December 4 and December 13. And that discount can be stacked onto any of the Cyber Week deals on December 4 or December 5, though not on the 15 percent Cyber Monday deal.

Despite the lackluster electronics deals for Cyber Week, Target has some good TV deals for Black Friday. We'll be keeping our eyes out for more holiday specials, so keep checking back for updates.
