The 10% discount on Target gift cards is usually exclusive to the first weekend in December (we predict it will take place Dec. 7 - 8, 2024) for holiday gifting. However, Target did surprise us with a one-day deal during their Target Circle Week this past April.

If you weren't lucky or quick enough to grab the deal on April 13, you'll have to wait until December for the next 10% off Target gift cards deal. Until then, here's everything you need to know about the Target gift card sale.

The Target Gift Card Sale is an annual 2-day event where Target gift cards sell for 10% off.

During this sale, you can buy Target gift cards for 10% off the face value with a Target Circle deal. So you’ll save $1 on $10 worth of Target gift cards, $2 on $20 worth of Target gift cards, and so on. This is perfect timing for graduation gifts and end-of-the-year teacher gifts.

Since the Target Circle deal is a one-time use, you can buy as many gift cards as you want, BUT you have to purchase all of them in a single transaction up to a total of $500 ($50 max savings).

If you're not already a Target Circle member, you can join the free rewards program so you can enjoy savings during exclusive sales like Target Circle Week and the Target gift card sale.

KCL TIP: During the Gift Card Sale, it's only Target gift cards that are eligible for 10% off, not prepaid cards or gift cards to other retailers.

KCL predicts the next Target Gift Card Sale will begin Saturday, Dec. 7, 2024.

Target hasn’t officially announced the next date for their annual gift card sale, but based on what they've done in recent years, we here at KCL predict that it’ll take place Saturday, Dec. 7, and Sunday, Dec. 8, 2024.

How do we make our prediction?

We've noticed that Target has held their gift card sale starting on the first Saturday of December. In 2024, that's Dec. 7.

The 10% discount on Target gift cards is a one-time-use deal.

Historically, the 10% off Target gift cards deal has been a one-time use discount. That means you need to purchase your desired number of gift cards (up to a combined total of $500) in a single transaction.

Both physical gift cards and eGift cards are 10% off during the sale.

If you’re shopping online, you have three options for sending and receiving your Target gift cards: email, mail, or text. You can either order a physical gift card for shipping or have an eGift card delivered by email or text.

Before you add a Target gift card to your cart, select the gift card value and delivery method — email, mail, or text. At checkout, you’ll enter the shipping address, email address, or phone number for where you’d like the gift card sent.

Don't worry about saving the 10% off deal to your account; it will automatically apply to your account.

Buy Target eGift cards for yourself or send them to a gift recipient.

There are tons of reasons to stock up on Target gift cards for yourself and save an easy 10%. But this gift card sale is also a great way to save on gift cards for family, friends, teachers, and others. Think Father's Day, Mother's Day, and graduations coming up.

When you check out online, Target gives you the option to send your eGift card to another recipient under the “Digital Delivery” section. Here, you’ll enter the person’s name and email address/phone number, plus a short gift message to go along with it.

Buying an eGift card for yourself? Use the “Send to myself” option at checkout instead.

KCL TIP: If you don’t want your Target eGift card sent right after you buy it, you can schedule a future delivery date up to three months out!

Unfortunately, you can't stack your 5% Target Circle Card discount with 10% off Target gift cards.

When you pay with your Target Circle Card (formerly know as the RedCard) you get 5% off your purchases. Most things at Target are eligible for the 5% discount. However, Target gift cards are not one of them.

You’ll save 5% when you use your Target Circle Card to buy other retailer gift cards, but not Target gift cards. They are one of the few exclusions to your typical Target Circle Card discount.
