What Is the Target eGiftCard Reward?
The Target eGiftCard is one of dozens of gift card options in the Microsoft Rewards redemption catalog, sitting alongside cards for Amazon, Starbucks, Best Buy, and others. Rather than converting points to cash directly, Microsoft lets you trade accumulated points for a digital gift card code you can redeem at checkout. According to the official redemption page, the $25 version of the card runs 7,000 points, and like other Rewards gift cards, it comes with no fees and no expiration date once it’s issued (Target eGiftcard – Microsoft Rewards).
Because it’s issued as an eGiftCard rather than a plastic card, there’s nothing mailed to you. The code shows up in your Microsoft account’s order history shortly after redemption, ready to copy into Target’s website or scan from your phone in-store.
How Redemption Actually Works
Redeeming a Target eGiftCard follows the same process as any other Microsoft Rewards item:
- Sign in to your Microsoft account and head to the Rewards dashboard.
- Go to the Redeem section and search for “Target” or browse the gift cards category.
- Select the $25 eGiftCard tile and confirm you have enough points — 7,000 at current pricing.
- Click “Redeem now” and confirm the transaction.
- Check your order history or email for the digital code, which typically arrives within a few minutes, though Microsoft notes it can occasionally take longer during high-demand periods.
Once you have the code, you can apply it at Target.com during checkout or pull it up in the Target app to use in any of the more than 1,700 Target and SuperTarget locations across the country.
How Many Points Do You Actually Need to Get a Target Gift Card?
Getting to 7,000 points sounds like a lot until you break it down against how Microsoft Rewards points actually accumulate. Following the program’s 2026 restructuring, members earn points daily through search caps tied to their Member, Silver, or Gold tier, plus bonus activities like the Daily Set, quizzes, and rotating streak promotions such as the Edge Browsing Streak, which can add up to 300 points over a week and another 1,000-point bonus after 12 completed streaks.
A consistent user doing daily searches, completing the Daily Set, and catching streak bonuses when they’re available can realistically reach 7,000 points within two to four weeks, depending on their tier and how many bonus activities they complete. If you’re trying to hit a specific card faster, stacking multiple earning methods — search, quizzes, referrals, and Xbox or Edge activity — is the most reliable path, rather than relying on any single source.
Gift Cards Can Sell Out or Change Price
One thing worth knowing before you set your sights on a specific card: Microsoft’s gift card inventory isn’t guaranteed to stay static. Point costs on the Rewards store have shifted before, and popular denominations occasionally go temporarily unavailable due to demand or inventory limits, similar to what’s happened with other cards like Amazon’s gift card listings in the past. If the Target eGiftCard you want shows a different price than what’s listed here, or shows as unavailable, that’s a normal part of how the redemption catalog rotates — check back, or consider a nearby denomination in the meantime.
Keep Your Account in Good Standing
As with any Rewards redemption, it’s worth remembering that Microsoft actively monitors accounts for behavior it considers abusive — things like automated searching, VPN-based search farming, or creating multiple accounts to multiply point earnings. Redeeming points from an account flagged for this kind of activity can result in delayed, cancelled, or reversed gift card orders, and in more serious cases, account suspension. Sticking to genuine daily use — real searches, real quizzes, real browsing — is the safest way to make sure your 7,000 points actually convert into a working Target code.
Final Thoughts
The Target eGiftCard is one of the more approachable rewards in the Microsoft Rewards catalog: no shipping wait, no expiration, and a card you can use for pretty much anything at Target or SuperTarget. At 7,000 points for $25, it’s a reasonable mid-tier goal for anyone earning points consistently through search, quizzes, and streak bonuses. Just keep an eye on the live redemption page for the latest pricing, since gift card costs and availability can shift over time.
