What are the hours and when should I call?

Gap operates the call center for this 800-427-7895 phone number Mon-Sun 7am-1am ET. The short answer is that you should call on a Thursday. This observation and the following section are based on analysis of a sample set of 516 calls made in the last 90 days using our free, web-based phone (see above).

Automatically call when they open

When you use our free AI-powered phone to call and talk, wait on hold, or navigate for you, it will automatically wait until the Gap call center opens before trying to call. It will ask your permission before it places the call, so you can also further delay that scheduled call until you are ready. But that means you can "set it and forget it" ahead of time.
An important note: busy times vs hold times vs best time to call
When we refer to busy or less busy times, we are talking about the volume of calls. The busiest times are when the most people are calling this Gap phone number (least busy times have fewer people calling). This high call volume does not necessarily mean that you will have a long hold time when you call. Companies like Gap staff their call centers differently based on the time of day and day of the week, so you may experience a shorter wait on hold at the busiest of times. When we refer to the best time to call, we are referring to the optimal combination of lower call volume and shorter wait times.

The least busy time to call

The least busy day to call Gap is Sunday. The most busy day to call is Monday, which averages 92% more phone calls by comparison. Again, this is based on a sample of 516 calls made with our AI-powered, web-based phone in the last 90 days.

The shortest wait on hold

We measured the shortest hold times to be on Wednesday. The longest wait in the queue on average occurs on Monday.
But if you use our free call and talk for me or wait on hold for me service, you don't really need to worry about average wait times.

The best time to call Gap

In summation, the best day to call Gap is Thursday.

Why Customers Call Gap

If you have time to do a bit of reading before you call Gap, we recommend you read over some of our problem-specific articles.

Is It Possible to Merge Two Gap Accounts?

There is no official way to merge two Gap accounts. If you need to consolidate your Gap shopping, the best thing to do is transfer your items from one account to the other. You can transfer your balance to another account if you have a Gap Credit Card. Finally, if you don't need both accounts, you can delete one of them. Just remember that deleting an account is a permanent action.

How Do I Unlock My Gap Account?

If your Gap account is locked, you can do a few things to troubleshoot the issue. The first step is to figure out why your account is locked in the first place. There are a few reasons this could happen: you entered the wrong password too many times, your account has been inactive for a long time, or there is suspicious activity on your account. Please change your password immediately and contact customer service if you think your account has been hacked.

Where Can I Find My Gap Account Number?

If you're looking for your Gap account number, the best way to find it is to call customer service or check your credit card statement. You can also visit a Gap store in person or look for it in your online profile. Once you have your account number, you can use it to make online purchases or returns.

More Gap Customer Service Contacts

There are of course other ways to contact Gap customer service besides the phone. Below we list the best ones, by medium.

Gap Customer Service Live Chat

gap.com - Customer Service
Use this link to connect with customer service via chat
If phone-based customer service is not available, or the wait times are long, many people prefer chat as a next-best option. Some even prefer it to calling on the phone. Luckily, Gap provides this option.

Gap Customer Email Addresses

custserv@gap.com - Customer Service
Customer service email address
Corresponding with a customer service department by email may not be your first choice, especially if your issue is urgent or time-sensitive. But email is a nearly ubiquitous form of communication, and Gap will reply our your email.

Gap Customer Service on X (formerly Twitter)

@gap - Customer Service
Company dedicated customer service Twitter handle
Gap, like many companies, provides customer service on the X platform (formerly Twitter). While it rarely entails live dialogue with a customer service rep, this channel can yield rapid response times and can be a useful option if you have an X/Twitter account.

Gap Customer Service on Facebook / Messenger

Some customer service teams, like that of Gap, accept inquiries through Facebook Messenger. This is a good option if you have a Facebook account, and you may even be able to converse live with an agent this way.

Gap Customer Help Desk / Web Support

gap.com - Customer Service
Use this link to find customer service help through their website
gap.com - Customer Service
Online customer service support
As a last, sometimes only, resort- Gap customer service can be accessed through their website. This can entail digging through help articles before finding a form and "being allowed" to submit a problem to their team, and rarely leads to a real-time conversation, which is why GetHuman does not recommend this unless it's the only way.
