Very interesting about Target (specific to those who want to earn supermarket/grocery store bonuses)
When I search Target using the Visa database (not sure if the Amex merchant database would yield a different result), I see 3 different designations:
GROCERY STORES/SUPERMARKETS/BAKERIES -5411 N/A
HEALTH & MEDICAL SERVICES/SUPPLIES -8099 N/A
ELECTRONIC SALES/REPAIR -5732
These are all for the same Target store at a single address, which leads me to believe the different cash registers in the general check-out, electronics area and pharmacy are coded differently.
