Question 1

What is the TARGET* charge on my bank statement?

Accepted Answer

The TARGET* charge on your bank statement is from Target and represents a purchase made either online at Target.com or at a physical Target store. This is a legitimate shopping charge, and a typical transaction runs around $40.00. If you recently bought groceries, clothing, electronics, or household items from Target, this charge is almost certainly tied to that purchase.

Question 2

I don't remember buying anything from Target recently — could this charge be fraudulent?

Accepted Answer

While TARGET* is a legitimate charge from Target for in-store or online purchases, it's worth double-checking. Think back to any recent visits to a Target store or orders placed on Target.com. Sometimes family members sharing an account or a subscription service tied to Target can trigger the charge. If after reviewing you still don't recognize it, log in to your Target account at target.com/account to review your order history. If nothing matches, contact your bank to dispute the charge.

Question 3

How can I look up exactly what I bought that resulted in the TARGET* charge?

Accepted Answer

To find the details behind your TARGET* charge, visit target.com/account and sign in to your Target account. From there, navigate to your order history to see a full breakdown of past purchases, including itemized receipts and order dates. This is especially helpful if the charge amount, such as around $40.00, doesn't immediately ring a bell. If you shopped in-store, your account may still show the transaction if you used a Target Circle card or provided your email at checkout.

Question 4

Can I get a refund for a TARGET* charge and how do I start the process?

Accepted Answer

Yes, Target does accept returns and can issue refunds for eligible purchases. To start the process, go to target.com/account and log in to find the specific order associated with your TARGET* charge. From your order history you can initiate a return online or find instructions for returning the item to a physical Target store. Most items can be returned within 90 days of purchase. Once the return is processed, the refund will be credited back to your original payment method, reversing all or part of the charge.
