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 Targetâ??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 thatâ??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.

â??The addition of Mobile GiftCards to our suite of mobile shopping
solutions further simplifies the Target experience for our guests,â?� said
Steve Eastman, President of Target.com. â??Consistent with our â??Expect
More. Pay Less.â?? brand promise, we will continue to surprise and delight
our guests with innovative and highly relevant mobile capabilities,
enabling access to the Target experience anytime and anywhere.â?�

Targetâ??s point-of-sale scanning technology makes the Target Mobile
GiftCard possible, and Target is the first major retailer with the
ability to scan mobile barcodes in all of its stores. A leader in mobile
retail, Target continues to offer innovative mobile solutions for
guests. In addition to using the new Mobile GiftCards, Target guests can
view online assortments, check product availability and store locations,
manage their Target gift registry and lists, browse the weekly ad, and
receive text and e-mail notifications of great deals â?? all via their
mobile phones.
