Target announced it would stop taking checks at the checkout beginning July 15, USA Today reported, after its current promotion, Target Circle Week, ends.
The company said the change is due to “extremely low volumes” of customers paying by check, KARE reported.
“Target is committed to creating an easy and convenient checkout experience, and that includes providing our guests with numerous ways to pay,” a company spokesperson told the television station.
Other forms of payment that Target will accept include: cash, credit cards, debit cards, Target Circle cards, digital wallets, SNAP/EBT and pay later services.
Checks will be accepted to pay Target Circle credit card bills, the Star Tribune reported.
According to GoBankingRates.com, 46% of Americans didn’t write a check in 2023, KARE reported. Only about 1% of consumers use checks in stores, according to Javelin Strategy & Research, the Star Tribune reported.
Target is not the only major retailer to stop taking checks. Customers at Aldi and Whole Foods also cannot use checks, the newspaper reported.
Beginning Friday, July 19, Queens Feast will kick off with special deals at dozens of popular restaurants around the city in Mecklenburg, Cabarrus, Gaston, Union, Lincoln, Catawba, Stanly, and York counties.
“Diners can treat themselves and share the fun with friends and family, all at some tasty prices,” said Bruce Hensley of Hensley Fontana Public Relations, which owns and operates the restaurant week promotion. “It’s a great opportunity to have a culinary adventure around the metro.” This year, more than 100 restaurants will be offering three-course dining deals as part of the semi-annual event held every January and July. Menu offerings vary and prix fixe prices will range from $30 to $50 per person.
