Can You Combine Target Gift Cards?

Direct answer: usually no. Target's current help says non-promotional gift cards saved to Wallet are unable to be combined. What you can do is save multiple Target GiftCards to your account and apply up to 10 in one store or online transaction.

Short answer

If by combine you mean moving the balances from several regular Target GiftCards onto one card, Target's current help says no. If by combine you mean using several cards together at checkout, the answer is yes, up to the stated transaction limit.

What Target lets you do instead of combining

Target's gift card help focuses on saving cards to your account or Wallet, not merging their balances into a new card. Once saved, you can toggle the cards you want to use at checkout.

How to use multiple Target GiftCards online

On Target.com, save each card to your account first. Then go to checkout and apply the cards you want. Target says up to 10 Target GiftCards or eGiftCards can be used per order.

Sign in to your Target account.
Open Gift cards in your account area.
Save each card by entering the gift card number and access code.
At checkout, apply the cards you want to use for that order.

How to use multiple cards in store

In the Target app, go to Wallet, add your gift cards, and select which ones should apply to the Wallet barcode. Target says you can choose the GiftCards you want to add to your Wallet barcode, and the broader gift card policy says you can use up to 10 per store transaction as well.

Promotional vs. regular gift cards

This is the part many older guides miss. Target says a promotional gift card from a Target.com order may be automatically added to your account, but non-promotional gift cards saved to Wallet are unable to be combined. So any article promising a universal balance-merge tool is out of date.

Transaction limits and payment rules

Target's current redemption rules say up to 10 gift cards can be redeemed per transaction in stores or online. Target also says gift cards are used as the first type of tender before a credit or debit card is charged for the remainder.

Question	Current Target answer
Can I merge regular saved Target GiftCards into one card?	No, Target says non-promotional Wallet cards cannot be combined.

Using Visa, Mastercard, or AmEx gift cards at Target

Do not mix up Target GiftCards with third-party prepaid cards. Target's prepaid-card help says only one third-party gift card can be applied toward an online order, though it can be used together with a Target GiftCard. Target also says third-party gift cards and credit cards cannot be combined in the same online order transaction.

Quick reference table

If you want to...	Do this
Use several Target GiftCards online	Save them to your account and apply up to 10 at checkout.
Use several Target GiftCards in store	Select them in the Target app Wallet and scan the barcode at checkout.
Merge regular card balances into one new card	Do not rely on that; current Target help says non-promotional Wallet cards cannot be combined.
Use a Visa gift card too	Treat it as a third-party gift card, which has separate payment limits.

Bottom line on combining Target GiftCards

Target no longer supports the broad old claim that you can freely merge ordinary gift card balances into one card. The current practical rule is simpler: save multiple Target GiftCards, then use up to 10 on one purchase. That gets you the same checkout benefit without assuming Target will consolidate the balances.
