"We are excited to enter into this agreement with JPMorgan Chase, whose vast financial services experience and proven track record of innovation have produced superior credit card results over time," said Gregg Steinhafel, Chief Executive Officer of Target Corporation. "We expect that the unique relationship we have forged with this agreement will benefit both companies and their shareholders over time."

Credit Tip: Need a high limit for Christmas credit card charges? If you have bad credit, consider a personal loan by refinancing your mortgage. Even if you have cash to buy Christmas presents, we recommend using a prepaid card to make purchases because it's safer than carrying cash.
