Deception
(30%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, it states that the sale runs from April 7 to April 13 when in fact it only runs until Saturday, April 13. Secondly, the article claims that deals are subject to change at any time which contradicts itself as it provides specific prices for products and also mentions one-day sales on certain items. Thirdly, the article states that there will be thousands of deals available but does not provide a clear estimate or list of all these deals. Lastly, the article uses sensationalism by stating that this is 'the perfect time' to shop for big bargains and also mentions some products as being 'hot'.

Fallacies
(85%)
The article contains several examples of informal fallacies. The author uses an appeal to authority by stating that the LG C3 OLED TV is the best high-end TV you can buy in 2024 without providing any evidence or reasoning for this claim. Additionally, the author makes a false dilemma when they state that there are only two options for coffee makers: Keurig or not Keurig. This statement ignores other brands and models of coffee makers that may be available at Target during Circle Week sale.

Deception
(50%)
The article is deceptive in several ways. Firstly, the author claims that Target Circle 360 comes with unlimited access to Target's same-day delivery with Shipt and no delivery fees on orders over $35. However, this statement is not entirely accurate as it does not mention that there are certain restrictions on what can be delivered through this service. Secondly, the author states that customers will have an extra 30 days to decide whether they want to return a piece of merchandise with the paid membership program. This is also partially false as Target Circle Card holders already had this benefit before signing up for the new program. Lastly, there are several instances where the article uses sensationalist language such as 'Target's paid membership program has made its official debut', and 'The retailer will let customers take an extra 30 days to decide whether they want to return a piece of merchandise'. These statements create a false sense of urgency for readers to sign up for the new program, which is not entirely accurate.
