Target just announced a new subscription service, called Target Circle 360. The new plan allows customers to pay $49 annually to receive perks including free same-day delivery from Target and over 100 of its retail partners. Retailer Walmart also has a subscription service called Walmart+ where customers can pay $98 annually to receive perks like free shipping and additional discounts.

Viral posts online claim that Walmart and Target will now be charging customers for self-checkout and limiting use to those with subscriptions to the store. A VERIFY reader reached out to ask if these claims were true.

Walmart and Target are not charging customers annual fees to use self-checkout. While both retailers have subscription services, the programs do not include exclusive access to self-checkout kiosks.

Target recently announced new changes to its self-checkout, however, there is no mention of limiting access to only Target Circle 360 members. The updates include a new Express Self-Checkout option and the ability for store leaders to mandate self-checkout hours based on store needs.

Target representative Loni Monroe confirmed to VERIFY that “Target is not charging customers to use the self-checkout.”
