Where Can You Use Target Gift Cards?
Target Gift cards give you access to almost all of Target’s vast range of products.
Apart from being valid for any regular purchases from Target’s range—either in-store or online—you can use your Target gift card:
- For buying alcohol and other restricted goods
- At Starbucks outlets in Target stores
- At the Target café
- In any CVS pharmacy outlet located in a Target store
You aren’t restricted to using one gift card per purchase—the Target system is set up to accept up to 10 gift cards for any purchase.
If, as an example, you have two gift cards worth $25 each, you can go ahead and shop online at Target for up to $50 and use both gift cards to pay for your purchases.
Target gift cards also don’t expire or lose their value—the gift card you received years ago should still be valid up to its full amount.
