Does Target Do Cash Back?

Yes, but the clearest official Target documentation is for the Target Debit Card. Target says you can add a cash withdrawal of up to $40 at checkout, including in Wallet and at self-checkout, in $10 increments. Target's help pages are much less explicit about ordinary third-party debit cards, so do not assume the same guarantee without checking locally.

Target's Wallet help page lists cash-withdrawal options of $10, $20, $30, or $40, and Target's Circle Card page says cash withdrawal of up to $40 at checkout is available with the debit version of the card.

How to get cash back in Wallet

Target's instructions are straightforward:

Select your Target Debit Card as the payment method in Wallet.
Turn on the cash-back toggle.
Choose $10, $20, $30, or $40.
Scan the Wallet barcode at checkout.
Receive the cash at the end of the transaction, either in lane or at self-checkout.

Target's help language calls this a cash withdrawal, but it is the same service most shoppers mean when they ask for cash back.

What about a regular bank debit card?

Target's payment-types page says stores accept U.S.-issued debit and ATM cards, but the cash-withdrawal help is explicit about the Target Debit Card rather than all debit cards. That means the official documentation clearly supports Target Debit Card cash withdrawal, while a blanket promise for every third-party debit card is not stated the same way on the public help pages.

If you plan around cash back regularly, use the Target Debit Card guidance as the reliable rule and treat third-party debit availability as something to confirm at your store before you rely on it.

What will not work the same way

Credit cards: Target's program rules say the 5% discount does not apply to Target Debit Card cash back and cash advances on the Target Mastercard. A cash advance on the Mastercard is a separate feature, not checkout cash back.
Checks: Target says it does not accept personal checks or business checks in stores, so there is no check-based cash-back path to use.
Gift cards: Target's returns policy says Target GiftCards, prepaid gift cards, and specialty gift cards cannot be returned or redeemed for cash or credit except where required by law.

Limits and fine print that matter

The published cash-withdrawal amounts are fixed at $10, $20, $30, or $40, not any custom amount.
Wallet only applies cash withdrawal when a Target Debit Card is selected, and Wallet does not accept third-party payment cards.
Target's card rules say the 5% Target Circle Card discount does not apply to the cash-back portion.
Target Circle terms also exclude debit card cash withdrawals at checkout from rewards redemption.

Bottom line

Target definitely does cash back if you are using the Target Debit Card, and the documented cap is $40 at checkout in $10 increments, including self-checkout and Wallet. What Target publicly documents much less clearly is a universal cash-back promise for every non-Target debit card, so keep that distinction in mind before you plan around it.
