Can You Refill a SodaStream at Target?

Direct answer: Yes, Target currently supports SodaStream CO2 exchange, but it is better described as an exchange than an on-site refill. In store, Target says you can exchange empty cylinders and save over 40% on the refill surface at participating stores, while SodaStream says you can swap an empty cylinder for a full one at a retail location. Online, eligible Target.com two-packs route through SodaStream’s gas exchange portal and can earn a $15 Target gift card after SodaStream receives two empties.

Refill vs. exchange at Target

The most important update is terminology. Target’s current SodaStream brand page says “Exchange & save,” and SodaStream’s own support page says you can exchange an empty cylinder for a full one at a retail location. So if you are asking whether Target refills a cylinder on site, the cleaner answer is no. Target handles this as a cylinder swap program.

What Target is selling right now

As of August 29, 2026, Target’s current listings show both spare cylinders and exchange packs.

Those prices are current listing prices, not a guarantee for every future date or store condition.

How the in-store exchange works

Target’s current SodaStream brand page says you can exchange empty CO2 cylinders in store and save over 40%. SodaStream’s retailer-facing cylinder support page explains the store process: a full cylinder is taken from the exchange box, the used cylinder goes back into the same box, and the sale is rung as an exchange.

That means the practical store workflow is simple: bring your empty compatible cylinder, confirm the store has the matching replacement type in stock, and complete the exchange at the store. What you are paying for is the gas refill surface, not a brand-new cylinder license every time.

How the Target.com online exchange works

For Target.com, the official process is more specific. SodaStream’s Target.com online exchange support page says you send back two empty 60L cylinders through gasexchange.sodastream.com. Target’s eligible exchange product pages say the offer only applies when the cylinders are sold and shipped by Target and that you should keep the original shipping box because it includes the USPS return label.

After SodaStream receives the empties, the current support page says the Target gift card is usually issued in about two weeks.

How long does it take?

There is no single published national wait time for an in-store Target exchange. If your store has the right cylinder in stock, the exchange is as quick as a normal retail swap. If it does not, you are waiting on local inventory.

The online route is the only one with a clearer official timeline. SodaStream’s current Target.com exchange instructions say gift cards are issued about two weeks after the empty cylinders are received. That is not the same thing as same-day carbonation, so urgent users are usually better off checking local in-store stock first.

Which cylinder size and type should you bring?

Target’s current SodaStream assortment centers on 60-liter cylinders, not the old 130-liter format. SodaStream’s current support pages say the 130L cylinder has been discontinued.

SodaStream also says there are now two main current cylinder systems: Quick Connect and Screw-In.

Bring the same cylinder type you are replacing. Do not assume pink and blue are interchangeable.

Alternatives if Target is out of stock

SodaStream’s current exchange help page says you can use a participating retail location or SodaStream’s own online exchange service. Its store locator is the fastest official way to check nearby exchange options, and SodaStream says if no store works for you, you can still order spare or refill cylinders online.

For shoppers who exchange often, SodaStream also recommends keeping more than one cylinder on hand so you are not stuck when one goes empty.

Warranty and compatibility cautions

SodaStream’s current compatibility guidance says its cylinders should only be maintained and refilled by SodaStream, and unauthorized third-party refilling can be risky and may void warranty protection. Its limited warranty page also says the machine is designed to operate with a SodaStream cylinder and that damage from other cylinders is not covered.

For returns, Target’s current return policy says most unopened Target-sold items can be returned within 90 days, but individual item pages for SodaStream cylinders add that these items must be returned to a Target store.

Bottom line: yes, Target does SodaStream exchange, but check the right surface

If you need bubbles today, Target can be a real option, but think in terms of exchange, not a specialty refill counter. The cleanest in-store answer is: bring your matching empty 60L cylinder and swap it if the store has stock. The cleanest online answer is: buy the eligible two-pack, keep the original box, and use SodaStream’s Target exchange portal to send back two empties for the current $15 gift card offer.
