How to sign in to your Target RedCard account online
To log into your Target RedCard credit card account, go to target.com/account and enter your email address and password. If you do not have an online account yet, you will need to create one first by selecting "Create account" and providing your email, a password, and basic information. Once you are signed in, you can view your balance, recent transactions, and payment due dates.
Your Target RedCard login is separate from your Target.com shopping account, though both use the same email address. If you have trouble remembering your password, select "Forgot password?" on the login page and Target will send you a reset link to your email. The reset link expires after a set time, so check your inbox and spam folder right away.
You can also manage your RedCard account through the Target mobile app. read the app, sign in with the same email and password, and tap the account icon at the bottom of the screen. From there, select "RedCard" to see your card details and account information.

What to do if you cannot remember your password
Select "Forgot password?" on the login page at target.com/account. Target will send a password reset link to the email address associated with your account. Open that email and click the reset link, which will take you to a page where you can create a new password.
The reset link is only good for a limited time. If you do not use it quickly, you may need to request a new one. Make sure to check your spam or promotions folder if you do not see the email in your inbox within a few minutes. If you still cannot find it, try requesting the reset again.
Setting up two-factor authentication for your RedCard account
Two-factor authentication adds a second layer of security to your account. After you sign in with your password, Target can send a code to your phone or email that you must enter before you gain full access. This means that even if someone learns your password, they cannot reach your account without that second code.
To turn on two-factor authentication, sign into your account at target.com/account, go to "Account settings," and look for the security or two-factor authentication section. You will choose whether to receive codes by text message or email, and then confirm a test code to make sure the method works. Once it is set up, you will be asked for that code every time you sign in from a new device.
Viewing your RedCard balance and transaction history
After you sign in at target.com/account, your RedCard dashboard shows your current balance, available credit, and recent purchases. Scroll down to see a list of transactions with dates, merchant names, and amounts. You can also filter transactions by date range or search for a specific purchase.
If you need a detailed statement for a specific month, look for a "Statements" or "Billing" section in your account. You can usually read statements as a PDF file and print them or save them to your computer. Statements typically show all charges, payments, fees, and interest for that billing period.
Making a payment on your Target RedCard
Sign into your account at target.com/account and select "Make a payment" or "Pay bill." You will see your current balance and minimum payment due, along with the due date. Enter the amount you want to pay and choose your payment method — you can pay from a bank account, another credit card, or a debit card.
Payments made online usually post to your account within one to two business days. If your payment is due soon, make sure to submit it with enough time for processing. You can also set up automatic payments so that a fixed amount or your full balance is paid on the same day each month, which helps you avoid late fees.
Troubleshooting common login problems
If you see an error message saying your email or password is incorrect, double-check that you are typing them exactly as you set them up — passwords are case-sensitive, meaning capital and lowercase letters are different. Make sure the Caps Lock key is not on. If you are still stuck, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset your password.
If your account is locked after several failed login attempts, wait a few hours before trying again. This is a security measure to protect your account. If you continue to have trouble, you can contact Target's customer service by phone or through the Target website to confirm your identity and regain access.
Some browsers or devices may have trouble loading the login page. Try clearing your browser's cache and cookies, or try signing in from a different browser or device. If the problem persists, make sure your internet connection is stable and try again.
