r/Target on Reddit: Merchandise Return Card
November 28, 2018 -

Hi! I recently returned something that I lost the receipt for and was given a merchandise return card. Can I use it at any target or just the target that I returned the item to? I only ask because I'm trying to get Super Smash Bros Ultimate next week and the target that I returned the item to is getting it two days later. Additionally, if the answer is the latter would I be able to buy nintendo e-shop cards with the balance on the card?

Thanks!

Maybe... sometimes the cards can be choosy. But only in store not online. Also Target did roll out with purchase of gift cards can not be done with gift cards.

r/Target on Reddit: Store Credit
February 5, 2025 -

I recently returned some items and received store credit for them (white merchandise return cards). It is written on the back of the cards that they can only be used to purchase items IN STORE.

However, the item I want to buy is only available ONLINE. Can I order the item I want online, return it in store (refund to my credit card), then buy it again using my store credit?

Nope. Not at all.

Unfortunately no. If it was put onto a store merchandise card, I would assume it was a receipt less return? Doing so only allows for the white cards and can only be used in store as they do not want you to go and buy elsewhere or have the chance to sell it. I say just trade it with friends for cash. live and learn

My mother in law gave me a couple of these black merchandise return cards because she never goes to target, am i even allowed to use them or should i just give them back to her?

You can use them. They're just like gift cards except that they have to be used in store. Cannot be applied to online purchases.

As a cashier I can confirm I used 2 white ones on a transaction just fine. If they did start limiting them it may not be company wide yet or could be a store by store thing. Like my store doesn't scan I.D.'s gives us an error if we even try its always keyed in.

r/Target on Reddit: Customer question about store credit
November 2, 2017 -

I’m not a Target employee, so I hope it’s okay that I am posting here!

I got a ton of stuff for my baby shower that I didn’t register for and don’t want/need. And, because people are awesome, nobody gave me a gift receipt.

So now that I have returned it all I’ve got $200 in store credit. The problem is, the items that I registered for are not sold in store, and apparently I can’t apply store credit to online purchases.

I talked to an online customer service rep, and they were not helpful. Pretty much told me they could give me a 5% discount if I bought my stuff outright. But that still leaves me with $200 in store credit that is unused.

I’m not the type of person to show up and bitch until I get my way, but this is pretty uncool. Is there any way around this? Are there loopholes or chill managers that will cut an exhausted pregnant lady some slack if I ask nicely? I want to give Target my money. Why won’t they take it?! 😭

Did you get your store credit on one of the black merchandise return cards? If so, there’s nothing any of us can do because those HAVE to be used in store. It’ll give you all the details on the back of the card. I’m sorry. :(

Hmm, it’s troubling that your guest service TM didn’t try to look up your registry on a MyDevice and try to sort through your returns that way instead. Sometimes even if you didn’t request a gift it will come up and let us do Normal store credit and not a merch return card, which would solve your issue. I assume it was just a ID return and the TM overrode it to give you $200 on a MRC, so they made it right for the guest in that respect since the yearly limit is $100. Unfortunately your options are limited. You can’t use a merch return card to buy a normal gift card, however if you had someone who enjoys shopping in store buy you a $200 GC you guys could trade and you could use the normal GC to shop online and your friend could eventually use that $200 MRC to shop in store. Sadly, in this situation like most, a couple guests ruin a good thing for everyone.

Is there an annual limit on no receipted returns? From what I read on Reddit and online, I keep seeing $100 merch credit. Not sure if that is per item, or per year of all items returned by a given customer. After which they cannot return without a receipt
