      Common questions

      Which card has the bigger sign-up bonus, Sephora Visa Credit Card or Target Circle Card Mastercard?
      The Sephora Visa Credit Card has a public bonus (25% off your first Sephora.com purchase + 4X Beauty Insider points on that purchase, worth roughly $25), while the Target Circle Card Mastercard doesn't advertise one right now.
      Is the Sephora Visa Credit Card's $0 annual fee worth it compared to the Target Circle Card Mastercard?
      The Sephora Visa Credit Card has no annual fee, so the question is whether the Target Circle Card Mastercard's $0 fee is justified by its perks. If you'll use enough of the Target Circle Card Mastercard's benefits to clear $0 in value annually, it's worth it; otherwise stick with the Sephora Visa Credit Card.
      Can I have both the Sephora Visa Credit Card and Target Circle Card Mastercard?
      Yes, since they're from different issuers (Comenity and TD Bank) the application rules don't conflict. Many points enthusiasts hold both, they pair well when one earns flexible bank points and the other earns a different currency.
      Should I get the Sephora Visa Credit Card or the Target Circle Card Mastercard first?
      Get the one whose sign-up bonus you can hit comfortably without overspending. Sephora Visa Credit Card: $0 spend in 0 months. Target Circle Card Mastercard: no published min spend. Pick the easier minimum spend if you're new to points; pick the larger bonus if you have planned big purchases coming up.
