What is Target?
Target Corporation, commonly known as Target, is a U.S. retail chain operating nationwide with e-commerce (Target.com), in-store departments (pharmacy, optical, gift cards), and multiple checkout/payment rails (including Target’s own REDcard). Learn more on their site.
Common causes for TARGET charges
Below are realistic reasons people may see Target charges:
- In-store purchases
Standard POS charges when you buy goods at a Target location; statements often include a store number or city. - Online orders and marketplace sellers (Target.com)
Purchases placed at Target.com (or fulfilled by third-party sellers through Target’s marketplace) appear as TARGET.COM with a city/warehouse reference (e.g., “BROOKLYN PARK MN”). Gift-card promos or split payments may create multiple lines on statements. - REDcard payments or credits
Payments or account activity on Target’s REDcard (debit/credit) may show as TARGET REDCARD PAYMENT or similar descriptors. - Order pickup / Drive-Up / Same-Day services
Charges tied to pickup orders (in-store or Drive-Up). - Pharmacy or optical charges
Prescription fills, immunizations, or optical purchases made at Target appear with pharmacy/clinic tags. - Gift card purchases & reloads
Buying a physical gift card, reloading an e-gift, or promotional gift-card holds may create a line like TARGET GIFT CARD PURCHASE or a small pending authorization. - Mobile / contactless payments and wallet verification
Apple/Google Wallet, Target Wallet, or mobile pay authorizations sometimes show as a small verification charge that later disappears or becomes the final charge. - Payroll / payout processors & partner services
If you use financial apps (or employers use Target as a pay merchant for benefits), you might see unusual PPD entries such as DAILYPAY PPD TARGET; these are valid ACH/partner rails that reference Target. - Third-party marketplace or service charges
Third-party sellers that bill through Target’s systems (returns, vendor charges, or marketplace sales) can produce odd descriptors like TARGET ECOMM or store-ID numbers. - Promotions, hold & test charges (unexpected small amounts)
Promotional credits, temporary holds, or payment verification may briefly appear. - Returns, refunds, or adjustments
Refunds usually post with the same descriptor but as a negative/credit entry (e.g., TARGET GUEST RETURN).
Decoding TARGET charge tags
- TARGET / TARGET.COM refers to a retail purchase; check your Target.com order history for the matching date/amount.
- STORE NUMBER (e.g., TARGET 00017) refers to the numeric code of the specific store where the transaction occurred.
- GIFT CARD / GIFT CARD RELOAD shows money added to or used from a Target gift card or e-gift.
- PHARMACY / RX / CLINIC signifies medical, prescription, or clinic services billed through Target.
- REDCARD shows when there's activity on your Target REDcard (credit or debit product).
- PICKUP / DRIVE UP for curbside or in-store pickup fulfillment charges or authorizations.
- DAILYPAY PPD / PPD signifies ACH/Payroll style transaction routed through a partner network.
- TST* refers to a test or terminal-level authorization (temporary).
