How to Log Into Your Target Credit Card Account Online

Sign in to your Target credit card account through RedCard.Target.com

To access your Target credit card account online, go to RedCard.Target.com and enter your username and password on the main login page. This is the official portal where Target cardholders manage their accounts, view statements, and make payments.

You will need a username (usually your email address) and the password you created when you first registered. If you have not yet created an online account, you can set one up on the same page by clicking the registration link — this takes about five minutes and requires your card number, Social Security number, and date of birth.

Once you are logged in, you can see your current balance, recent transactions, due date, and minimum payment. You can also update your contact information, change your password, and set up automatic payments from this dashboard.

Key Takeaways

  • The Target credit card login portal is at RedCard.Target.com, not through the main Target.com website.
  • You will need your username (usually your email) and password; if you do not have an account yet, you can create one using your card number and Social Security number.
  • From your logged-in account, you can view your balance, make payments, read statements, and update your contact details.
  • If you forget your password, use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page to reset it by email or security questions.
  • You can also call the customer service number on the back of your Target credit card if you have trouble logging in or need account help.

What to do if you cannot remember your password

Click the "Forgot Password" link on the RedCard.Target.com login page. Target will ask you to enter your username (email address) and then send a password reset link to that email address. Check your inbox and spam folder, then click the link and create a new password.

If you do not have access to the email address you registered with, you can answer security questions instead. Target will ask you personal questions based on information from your credit file, and if you answer correctly, you can reset your password without email access.

How to make a payment from your online account

After logging in, look for a "Make a Payment" or "Pay Now" button on your account dashboard. Click it and choose whether you want to pay your full balance, minimum payment, or a custom amount. You can pay from a checking or savings account, or use another Target credit card.

Enter the bank account or card details you want to pay from, review the amount and date, and confirm. Most payments process within one to two business days. You can also set up a recurring automatic payment so your bill is paid on the same date each month.

Downloading statements and viewing transaction history

Your account dashboard shows recent transactions when ready after you log in. To see older transactions or read a statement, look for a "Statements" or "Documents" section. You can usually view statements from the past 12 to 24 months and read them as PDF files.

If you need a statement from longer ago, contact Target customer service using the number on the back of your card. They can often email or mail older statements to you, though there may be a small fee for statements beyond a certain period.

Updating your account information online

Once logged in, find a "Profile", "Account Settings", or "Personal Information" section. From there you can change your mailing address, email address, phone number, and password. Some changes take effect when ready; others may take one to two business days.

If you need to update information that is not available in the online portal — such as your employment status or income — you may need to call customer service. The number is on the back of your Target credit card.

Setting up alerts and notifications

Many cardholders use email or text alerts to stay on top of their account. Look for a "Notifications" or "Alerts" section in your account settings. You can usually turn on alerts for payment due dates, large purchases, or when your balance reaches a certain amount.

These alerts are optional but can help you avoid late payments and catch unauthorized charges. You can customize which alerts you receive and how you want to be notified — by email, text, or both.

What should I do if my account is locked after too many login attempts?

If you enter your password incorrectly several times, Target may lock your account temporarily for security. Wait 15 to 30 minutes and try again, or use the "Forgot Password" link to reset it. If the account remains locked, call the customer service number on the back of your card.
