I finally got enough points for my first redemption. I've been wanting to cash out for a Target gift card but it's not available anymore. Do you guys know if gift cards come and go? Do you think it will come back?

They got rid of the Target cards? Bummer!

Wow, I thought they were there to stay. That sure is a shame, I was looking forward to the January change as I miss the Target cards from BT.
Chelle M. Sep 24, 2008, 2:09pm EDT
They were there last night! I was just looking through everything last night and saw them! Wow....
Sophie S. Sep 24, 2008, 2:09pm EDT
I just checked and they are still there. $25 and $50 only though, the Starbucks come in $10 and $25 only.
They still have Target cards- it let me go through the motions of cashing out.
Donna T. Sep 24, 2008, 2:13pm EDT
Rhonda - check and see if they are still there! I want a Target gc too!
Donna T. Sep 24, 2008, 2:13pm EDT
ok --- Heather says they are still there -- you must have missed it
Tina L. Sep 24, 2008, 2:15pm EDT
Congrats on making it! I'm still chugging along.
Log out, and log back in- see if that does the trick.
Elaine S. Sep 24, 2008, 2:19pm EDT
I just got Target cards today
Rose H. Sep 24, 2008, 2:25pm EDT
Maybe they are temporarily out of the $10 cards, The $25 and $50 Target cards are there.
lena k. Sep 24, 2008, 2:27pm EDT
i saw the cards
Mallory Ladd Sep 24, 2008, 2:27pm EDT
I really just want to have enough points for anything!! haha....Starbucks would be wonderful though!!!! Oh man I can hear the Carmel Machiatto calling my name!!!!
Vikki M. Sep 24, 2008, 2:35pm EDT

Sometimes they just run out of certain denominations.
Kevin (''The SiteWizard'') V. Sep 24, 2008, 2:38pm EDT
Gift cards for Target, The Gap, Banana Republic & Old Navy are very easy to overlook because of the design Gather has chosen for their display. Each gift card option should be presented in a similar manner, with the vendor clearly identified by name. For some reason Gather chose to be inconsistent on this rather important page, which mystifies me.
golds g. Sep 24, 2008, 2:42pm EDT
I wnated a target card ...rats!
jennifer b. Sep 24, 2008, 2:43pm EDT
I recieved mine the other day, it was nice to use to shop for DD's birthday gift.
Jennifer N. Sep 24, 2008, 2:45pm EDT
I've heard some get back ordered, but I have no idea, really since I get cash.
Sarah (I want points) Sep 24, 2008, 2:47pm EDT
Sounds like they still have them. Hope that you can get it.
Kevin (''The SiteWizard'') V. Sep 24, 2008, 2:50pm EDT
Note: If Gather temporarily runs out of a particular card they do not remove it from the gift card redemption page. You are still able to order the card, although delivery might be delayed slightly.
Jenna S. Sep 24, 2008, 2:50pm EDT
I thought they were suppose to be keeping these new rewards.I sure hope they do!
golds g. Sep 24, 2008, 2:51pm EDT
the target cards is still there I JUST CHECKED
Sherry W. Sep 24, 2008, 2:57pm EDT
I can't check because I'm on cash, but I'd bet on either what Kevin said about non-descript labels on the redemption page, or temporary unavailability.
Samantha H. Sep 24, 2008, 3:10pm EDT
i saw other people having this problem too
Peter Joseph Swanson Sep 24, 2008, 3:14pm EDT

Dagmara H. Sep 24, 2008, 3:26pm EDT
I think they just take it out for a little while, because I hear so many people wants them and they don't have enough of those
Ariel Storm Sep 24, 2008, 3:26pm EDT
Congratulations on getting enough points for redemption! :) Hopefully you just missed seeing the Target card.
Leah Christensen Sep 24, 2008, 4:39pm EDT
Wow. That's news to me. I hope they're not having second thoughts about their new payment plans. I hope they don't get rid of paypal next.
Ginny A. Sep 24, 2008, 4:40pm EDT
Just keep looking.
Ryan M. Sep 24, 2008, 4:43pm EDT
I got worried for a minute. Target would be a good option.
rainne chandler Sep 24, 2008, 4:51pm EDT
i hope you enjoy what ever card you ended up with
Janie E. Sep 24, 2008, 4:55pm EDT
Congratulations on your first gift card and enjoy it as much as I enjoyed my Macy's gift card!!!
I hope you were able to get the Target card. I have never had a problem getting gift cards when I've redeemed my points. Congratulations on getting your points.
Jane C. Sep 24, 2008, 5:17pm EDT
I usually get Home Depot cards from here
Kelly K ~ Jesus Saves ~ Sep 24, 2008, 5:32pm EDT
they are still there, I just checked
Congrats on your cash out, I'm sorry that the card you want is not available.
Bob B. Sep 24, 2008, 6:25pm EDT
I didn't know Target was dropping.
Missy Cline Sep 24, 2008, 6:46pm EDT
Sounds like it is only a temporary thing on that particular denomination. Congrats on the points tho!
Mary G. Sep 24, 2008, 7:39pm EDT
Target is still there. I'm still waiting to be turned over for the cash option so can look at gift cards still.
Aimee "I Love Points" K. Sep 24, 2008, 8:14pm EDT
Wow you scared me to death. I am doing this for that card for Christmas shopping.

congrats on getting those pts!
Elizabeth S. Mar 8, 2009, 4:39pm EDT
I've gotten so Gather addicted that when I see the Target logo, I think Target gift card. I've never been to a Starbucks, but last week when I passed one for the 10,000th time, I thought, "If I had a gift card from Gather, I could stop there."
Glad it was just hiding from you.
