GiftCards can now be saved and used via the Target.com mobile site

MINNEAPOLIS--(BUSINESS WIRE)--
Target guests no longer need to carry their Target GiftCards in order to
redeem them, thanks to the innovative Target Mobile GiftCard.

By taking advantage of Target????s mobile technology, any guest, tech-savvy
or not, can save GiftCard information to a PIN-secure account on the
Target.com mobile site. All that????s needed is a mobile phone with
Internet capabilities,* which a guest can use to retrieve GiftCard
barcodes for scanning at checkout.

Guests may access their Target Mobile GiftCards to add value at store
registers, and check GiftCard balances at any time via the Target.com
mobile site. In addition, Target Mobile GiftCard functionality allows
guests to save multiple GiftCards to their account and label each one
for easy reference.

solutions further simplifies the Target experience for our guests,????? said

More. Pay Less.???? brand promise, we will continue to surprise and delight
