That means you can buy what you want from Target today and pay for those purchases over time.

It comes at a time when retailers are starting to beef up for holiday spending.

Several other retailers, including Amazon and Walmart, offer similar installment payment plans.

If you miss payments, purchases can end up costing much more than the original price.

Your credit rating can also take a hit.
