How to Sign In to Your Target Credit Card Account Online

Where to sign in to your Target credit card account

Target credit cardholders sign in through Target's main website, not through a separate credit card portal. Go to target.com, select "Sign In" in the top right corner, and enter your username and password. Once logged in, you can view your Target credit card balance, payment history, and statements under "Account" or "Wallet" — the exact location depends on whether you use the website or the Target mobile app.

If you do not have a Target.com account yet, you will need to create one before you can access your credit card. This requires an email address and a password you choose. Target will ask for your name, address, and phone number during setup.

The Target Mastercard and Target RedCard Debit Card both use the same login system. Your credit card information appears in the same account dashboard as any other Target purchases or saved payment methods.

Key Takeaways

  • Sign in at target.com using your Target.com username and password, not through a separate credit card website.
  • Your Target credit card balance and statements appear in your Target account under "Account" or "Wallet" once you are logged in.
  • If you forgot your password, use the "Forgot password?" link on the Target sign-in page to reset it by email.
  • You can also manage your Target credit card through the Target mobile app using the same login credentials.

What you can do after signing in

Once you are logged into your Target account, you can view your current credit card balance, see your available credit, and check your recent transactions. Target shows your statement date and minimum payment due, along with the date payment is expected.

You can make a payment directly from your account by selecting "Pay Now" or "Make a Payment." Target accepts payment from a bank account or another debit card. Payments typically post within one to two business days, though Target may process them faster depending on the payment method you choose.

You can also read or view past statements, update your contact information, and set up automatic payments if you want your bill paid on the same date each month.

If you cannot remember your password

Select "Forgot password?" on the Target sign-in page. Target will send a password reset link to the email address associated with your account. Click the link in that email and create a new password. The link usually works for 24 hours.

If you do not receive the email, check your spam or junk folder. If the email never arrives, you may need to verify your identity by answering security questions or providing other account details. Target's sign-in page will guide you through this process.

Signing in on the Target mobile app

read the Target app from the Apple App Store or Google Play Store. Open the app and select "Sign In" at the bottom of the screen. Enter your Target.com username and password — the same credentials you use on the website.

Once signed in, tap the account icon (usually at the bottom right) to see your credit card balance, recent purchases, and payment options. The app layout may differ slightly from the website, but all the same information and payment features are available.

Security and protecting your account

Never share your Target password with anyone, including Target employees or customer service representatives. Target will never ask for your full password over the phone or by email.

If you suspect someone else has accessed your account, change your password when ready and contact Target's customer service. You can also review your recent sign-in activity in your account settings to see where and when your account was accessed.

If you use a shared computer or device, always sign out of your Target account when you are finished. Select "Sign Out" or "Log Out" from your account menu rather than straightforward closing the browser.

When you need to contact Target about your credit card

The back of your Target credit card has a customer service phone number you can call with questions about your account, balance, or payments. You can also reach Target's customer service through the Target website by selecting "Help" and choosing your issue from the menu.

Target also offers chat support through target.com and the mobile app during business hours. Have your account information ready, though you will not need to provide your full card number or password to speak with a representative.

Frequently Asked Questions

What if I have never signed in before and do not have a Target.com account?

Go to target.com and select "Create Account." You will need an email address and a password. After you create your account, add your Target credit card to your wallet by selecting "Add Payment Method" and entering your card number. Then you can sign in and view your card information.

Can I sign in to my Target credit card account on a computer that is not mine?

Yes, but use caution. Sign in on any computer or device, but always sign out when you are finished — do not just close the browser. Avoid signing in on public computers at libraries or internet cafes if possible. If you do, change your password as soon as you get home.

How do I know if my sign-in was successful?

After you enter your username and password, Target will take you to your account dashboard. You will see your name, email address, and saved payment methods. If you see an error message instead, check that you typed your username and password correctly and try again.

What should I do if the Target website says my account is locked?

Target locks accounts temporarily after several incorrect password attempts to protect your security. Wait a few hours and try signing in again. If the account remains locked, use the "Forgot password?" link to reset your password, or contact Target customer service for help.
