Target gift cards don't expire but you need the access numbers to be able to redeem the gift cards in physical stores. To get the access number, remove the silver strip found on the back of the Target gift card. You can also find these numbers by logging into your account on the website. The access cards are currently not available on the app.

How to Check the Gift Card Balance

Go to the gift cards page on the official Target website and scroll to Target Giftcards Help and click Check your Balance. Enter the card number and access number to check the available balance.

How to Request a Gift Card Replacement

Customers with a defective or damaged gift card can get a replacement by calling the gift card team at Target. Partially used and lost gift cards can also be replaced. They must have the original receipt to get a replacement.
