Big news, Target shoppers.

The Minneapolis-based retailer announced this week that it has teamed up with shopkick to offer customers rewards using their smartphones.

Target is the largest retailer to join forces with the smartphone rewards program, which already has affiliations with Best Buy and Old Navy, among others.

Shoppers can participate in the shopkick rewards program by downloading the app to their smartphones. Versions are available free for the iPhone and Android.

Customers earn "kicks" or points, which can be redeemed for gift cards, movie tickets, Facebook credits, iTunes downloads, donations to charity and other prizes.

If you subscribe to The News & Observer and you haven't discovered the N&O ZONE, you've been missing out on some great opportunities for freebies and discounts.

The program rewards home-delivery subscribers with all types of perks -- everything from drawings for free gift cards to movie passes and concert tickets.

This week, the ZONE is giving away free passes to the highly anticipated movie, "The Hunger Games." Twenty-five folks will receive one "Admit-Two" pass. The pass is good for Monday through Thursday showings at Mission Valley Cinemas or Six Forks Station Cinemas. Winners will be chosen at random on Friday, March 23.

You might want to plan on making a stop at a Michaels craft store tomorrow. There could be a $25 gift card in it for you.

Michaels craft stores will be celebrating "Random Acts of Kindness" day tomorrow, Feb. 17, by randomly giving away thousands of gift cards to customers.

Remember those Valentine's Day cards that double as coupons for FREE Krispy Kreme doughnuts that I wrote about here last week?

Well, I've got a dozen of those cards to give away to one Centsible Saver reader.

Since I can't send the doughnuts through the mail, I thought I'd send the next best thing.

Krispy Kreme is serving up Valentine's Day doughnuts right now, along with a deal on FREE doughnuts for the folks on your Valentine list.

Buy one dozen doughnuts and you'll receive a sheet of a dozen Valentine's Day cards.

The cards are the look and size of the classic classroom exchange cards and include such sentiments as:

"You make my icing melt" and "I love you (even more than doughnuts)"

Even better, each card is good for a free doughnut. A 99-cent value.

Keep them all for yourself or give them out to friends and family.

The coupons are good through March 15.
