Why was I charged for a free promotional item or free Target GiftCard?

When a free gift or free Target Giftcard is offered with a qualifying item, you’ll be charged the amount of the qualifying item reduced by a Target discount equal to the amount of the gift or gift card, and you’ll be charged a separate amount for the value of the gift or gift card. The total of the two charges will equal the amount of the qualifying item.

For example, if you make a purchase under a promotion for “buy a $30 item and receive a free $10 Target GiftCard,” you’ll be charged $20 for the qualifying item and $10 for the gift card. These two charges total the price of the promotion, which is $30.

When purchasing online, you may have two authorizations and charges on your payment method as our system doesn't process the gift or gift card sale until the qualifying item is picked up or shipped. The combination of the two transactions will total the original order amount.

If you placed an order using our Order Pickup or Drive Up service, promotional items and gift cards will be shipped 5-7 days after the pickup transaction is completed. If you placed an order on Target.com or the Target app, promotional items and gift cards won’t ship until after the qualifying purchase ships. If your qualifying purchase included a free Target GiftCard and you selected an email or mobile version, you’ll receive the gift card shortly after the pickup transaction is completed or once the item has shipped.

May not be applied to previous purchases.
