If you have a smart phone, you can get a free $2.00 gift card to Target stores today!
This is super simple if you follow the steps below:
- Download the free Shopkick app to your smart phone.
- If you already have the app, open it and go into my stuff and then my profile to see if you have registered a phone number to your account. If you have not, go ahead and do that.
- Once you get the app and/or register open your internet browser on your phone.
- Type in www.shopkick.com/targetsms
- Click Yes I have the app.
- Enter your phone number and you should get the free $2.00 gift card to use in store.
You have 24 days to use the gift card.

And if you are not familiar with Shopkick here are two of the big benefits:
1. Get coupons to places like Old Navy and Target (they have the Buy One Get One Starbucks coupon available for a few more days!)
2. You can collect “Kickbucks” by walking into stores and scanning items and such and those can be redeemed for totally free gift cards.
Some of you may have received this as a text message already this morning. I didn’t have a phone number set up on my account so I didn’t get a text but the steps above worked perfectly for me! After I registered my phone number the text offer came right through for me.

Awesome, THANK YOU for the heads up! Love Shopkick!
Megan says
It rang up as invalid today, did anyone else have that problem?
Charlene says
Urg! I was a little worried about that since I didn’t get to test it myself yet. Let me get in touch with Shop Kick directly.
Charlene says
Megan,
I got in touch and Shop Kick is concerned about this because it should be perfectly valid. Maybe your cashier was confused? Regardless, I am going to email you directly with a contact and if you want to get in touch with her she can figure it out. Maybe you just went too quickly or something 🙂
Christine says
I have shopkick and the “Edit profile” screen doesn’t show a place for my phone number. Is there something I am missing? Thanks!
Elizabeth H. says
I checked in to my Target today using this app and I didn’t get the coupon! It shows up in my gifts but I can’t access the actual coupon. ):
Megan says
Yea I went really fast and tried to use it. I did email Shop Kick also. Wasn’t worried since I am a constant shopper at Target and it doesn’t expire for 24 days. Sure they will fix it ASAP (or maybe it was how she scanned it? Definitely was not one of my normal Target checkers also).
Naomi says
That happened to me too!It wouldn’t accept gc bc of event#.I clicked on “check updated balance” and again said event# not found.About to email them
Lisa says
My Target refused to honor this. My cashier didn’t know how to get it to go through, so he got another cashier to help. She came over and said they were told not to accept anything from ShopKick anymore. She said their registers are programmed not to accept them. When I told her it had accepted the $1.50/2 Market Pantry items, she said I shouldn’t have gotten the discount. I left frustrated, forgetting the fact that the $2 gift card notification came from a text I received from Target, not ShopKick!
I called back and explained this to another manager. She apologized for my negative experience and said they were told not to accept anything from Shopkick, but she will look into this latest text deal. I told her to be prepared for many customers coming in soon wanting to use this deal!
Andrea says
Mine didn’t work today either. It said invalid. My cashier also manually put it in and it didn’t work. 🙁 I just started using this app so was disappointed. Seems that thereis some kind of error I hope they can fix it soon! So for all of you who douse this app the gift cards you can earn from this are valid? I didn’t want to order one after this one didn’t work. I was able to use the coupons from here a week ago so that worked for me. Any input would be appreciated! Thanks.
Andrea says
Okay it’s obviously late that last comment I wrote was full of errors and didnt make sense. Sorry LOL
Melissa says
Where do I find the $2 reward in my Shopkick account? I downloaded shopkick, I then clicked on the target link that target had texted me, when I tried to download the $2 coupon it had said that had already redeemed this gift. I don’t know if that means I already have the $2 in my shopkick account (I can’t find it but I don’t know where to look) or if it’s saying I already used it, which I didn’t because I just downloaded Shopkick. Thanks!
Carli says
I don’t see a spot to enter a phone number either under edit profile? What am I missing?
Charlene says
Did you try account settings? You might have to search around in the app- it took me about 2-3 minutes to figure out. I believe I clicked on the box for a picture and it was simple from there.
Charlene says
Well I used the BOGO Starbucks coupon just 2 days ago at Target. I don’t know what the problem is but I sent your feedback to Shop Kick Lisa and we will see :). I haven’t had any issues so far with this app- they have released lots of coupons for different stores and I have never had an issue so I guess we will see what they say.
Jen says
Mine would not scan either. I immediately sent an emai to Shopkick via the support link in the app but have not received a real response yet. So far I have only received the robo email stating that my request had been received and would be responded to as soon as possible. That was 11 O’clock this morning. My BOGO coffee q worked just fine so not sure what the problem is w this particular promotion. I hope it gets fixed soon.

Hi Megan,
Thanks for reaching out! Jenny forwarded me your email. We’re very sorry to hear you had trouble using the gift card at Target. We are working with Target’s corporate team to get their locations better informed about shopkick, and they are sending out additional communication to that effect to their stores. I’ve double-checked your gift card balance in Target’s own system and it is loaded with the $2 credit. (I’m including a screen shot for your reference.) If you would prefer, you are welcome to use the Target gift card online at Target.com. We apologize again for any inconvenience.
Hope this helps!
Ruby
Christine says
I know I’m late but did everyone recieve the text that it was a mistake and only can be redeemed online? An apology of 600 kicks to go with it? Luckily I need to order a baby shower gift online so I hope it works.
Charlene says
Oh for goodness sake. No I didn’t get it 🙁
Megan says
I got the same text message, 600 kicks and info that it can only be redeemed online. Anybody have actual luck in store without them having to push it through?
Christine says
I used mine today no problem! The cashier didn’t question it and it scanned with no issues! I didn’t get the text saying it was only for online though…
Kristy says
I used my gift card on 9/28 with no problem. Then today I got an email saying they are sorry my gift card was invalid and they added kicks to my account to make it up to me but there were no kicks added. Maybe they realized that I already used it?
Charlene says
Kristy,
I have no idea. I got the same and I used mine too. Mine scanned just fine. This is the craziest promotion.
