When you’re shopping at Target, it’s important to be aware of their gift card policies. If you want to send a gift card to your favorite store, there are a few things you need to know. First, the gift card must be received in the same order as the purchase. This means that if you buy something first and then give the gift card as a present, it won’t work. You’ll have to wait until the next purchase is made before giving the gift card. Second, make sure that your gift card is in good condition. If it’s been used or has been damaged in any way, don’t give it away - just return it and they’ll process a new one for you. Finally, make sure that your recipient knows how to use their gift card - some stores have specific instructions on how to use them (like at Target, they print out a receipt).


You can also use this app to order a physical Target GiftCard, which is delivered through the mail in 5-7 days. MOBILE: Mobile Target GiftCard sent by text message to a data-enabled mobile phone, generally within four hours but you can schedule delivery up to three months ahead of time.

Online or in-store, you may purchase physical gift cards. You’re also treating yourself each time you make a purchase.

E-Gift Cards function similarly to traditional Gift Cards, however a digital card with a code is sent to the receiver. As verification that the email was sent, the buyer will receive a copy of the E-Gift Card. E-Gift Cards may be used in the same way as traditional Gift Cards online or in stores.

A gift card cannot be less than five years old under federal regulations. However, if it isn’t redeemed within a year, fees for inactivity, dormancy, or service can be charged to the card each month, reducing its value.
