How will I be refunded? |
Payment method
- In most cases your refund will automatically go back to the original form of payment used for the purchase. If you used multiple forms of payment, your refund may go back to all payment methods used.
- If you’re returning something in a store, but you don’t have the original receipt or return barcode, you may get a merchandise return card for your refund.
- Refunds are issued to the original payment method(s) in most circumstances.
- Purchases made with a Target GiftCard will be credited back as a new Target eGiftCard.
- Items paid for with PayPal prior to September 13, 2022, will be refunded to a Target GiftCard.
- If you’ve lost the credit or debit card the refund is supposed to go back to you on, contact the card issuer for refund information.
Timing
- Refunds to a Target Circle™ Card typically take up to 2 days after we’ve approved the refund.
- Refunds to a third-party credit card typically take up to 5 days after we’ve approved the refund. For information about refunds to a third-party credit card, contact your card issuer.
- For items returned to our Online Return Center, we have to first inspect and process the return. Therefore, once the Online Return Center receives your return, it takes an average of 7-10 additional business days before we’ve approved your refund.
Different refund options
- For returns made in store, you may request a different refund option based on the original purchase method:
