    I am going to try this when we get there at the end of the month.

    Thanks for the tip about buying most things on the first visit. It will be interesting to see if I get the same treatment

    My US bank card has a US address but I dont have a tax ID!

    Glad that we got our SSN many years ago, we can get anything on credit if we want. It is useful if you are buying something big like furniture as you can keep you money in the bank and get interest free credit. Why give them the cash before you have to, you might guess from this that I am a Scot.

    Forgive my ignorance, but what benefits does a Target Red Card give you?

    How can you get a SSN number, I thought you could only get one if you were eligible to work in the US

    It would be a Tax ID Number, they look similar but it to a SSN. If you have an older one then credit can obtained, does not work for everyone but I know a few people who have managed it. We had a couole of credit cresit cards using a TIN number. I believe the TIN numbers were tightened up sometime after 7/11 and now not possible for credit.

    I got a Bank of America credit card a few months ago, so once I have gained a slight credit score, I might have more luck with a Target debut card. It's stupid that BoA give me credit and Target won't give me a card that takes money direct from my account when I shop with them.

    Having spent a 'significant' amount of money in Target whilst in Florida before Christmas, I once again decided to see if I could crack the red card issue!

    I have written to Target, which in itself is not easy, as the website was not very helpful. They have now replied with a case number and asked me to call them......

    Watch this space :-)

    Thanks for the update. Can you post the address you sent your letter to and I'll send one too - perhaps if a few of us do it they may let us 'aliens' use their card!
