Target Help Guide: Promotional GiftCard Delivery and Fulfillment Terms
According to a Target help article, free promotional Target GiftCards for qualifying purchases are issued once the qualifying item ships or is picked up. The promotional card is reported to save automatically to the shopper's Target.com account, with a backup GiftCard number and access code sent via email. For physical promotional items tied to Order Pickup or Drive Up purchases, the promotional item ships 5 to 7 days after pickup. Shoppers should note that promotional rewards do not reduce the initial checkout price, and if a qualifying order is canceled for any reason—including high promotional demand—the promotional item is also canceled. Specific qualifying products and prices are not listed.
