(NEXSTAR) – Target is providing gift cards to customers affected by issues that reportedly prevented shoppers and workers from accessing portions of the company’s website and online systems last week. A representative for Target did not disclose the amount of each gift card provided to guests, nor how Target decided which customers were considered eligible. But some shoppers began reporting on Monday that they had received an email apologizing for their sub-par “digital shopping experience” with a $20 gift card toward a future purchase. “Did anybody else receive an email about receiving a $20 E gift card due to drive up being down on Friday?” a Target.com shopper alleged in a post shared to Reddit, where dozens of users reported receiving the same email. “[I] received an email apologizing for an order mix up. A few hours later an e-gift card was emailed,” another wrote in an X message to Target’s customer service team. “Is this legit?” Customers had first reported issues with the Target.com website a little after 6 a.m. ET on Friday, claiming they had difficulties placing online orders or reviewing order histories — in many cases after their payment methods were charged. Employees of Target had also shared their frustrations online, claiming they were experiencing issues with the company’s returns and fulfillment systems. “Is the apocalypse happening, what the actual hell[?]” one self-identified Target worker wrote in a Reddit forum post on Friday morning. Target eventually acknowledged the issue but did not elaborate on the cause or breadth of the disruptions. “We're aware of intermittent issues with our digital experience and a fix is underway. In the meantime, our stores continue to be open and ready for holiday shopping. At Target, our top priority is offering a great guest experience. We apologize for this disruption,” Target wrote at the time. Target later confirmed that service had been “fully restored” after the outage, but not before some customers claimed they were charged for expensive items and provided with no receipt or confirmation of their purchases. “If your system is down, how is it charging people?” one shopper complained on Friday. “And when will I get refunded?” On Saturday, after the “digital experience” was restored, Target said the company was “working to address any orders that were impacted.” Some of Target’s responses to impacted customers also instructed them to contact the company’s guest services team. “We have been working to resolve the issues,” one Target representative said to a customer who was concerned about an online order. “We apologize for this disruption.”
