You can, under specific conditions:
1. You can use the target gift card in-store in person or online.
2. You can buy steam gift cards in-store in person only.

That means yes, you can buy a steam gift card and pay for it using your target gift card, but not online.

You should probably read Target's card's terms. Sometimes you can and some cards will not allow you to buy further digital goods. Also I haven't seen a steam card at a target in several years. They had serious issues with activation problems with them. I would strongly suggest calling the store SPECIFICALLY that you are intending to buy this at, and make SURE that first off they even have them, and second look up their terms.

I mean unless there's something else even worth getting at Target there's no harm in checking.

I shop there regularly and every time I look for steam cards they haven't been on the big wall of gift cards. Not for a very long while. Thing is though that some - not all - cards do allow you to buy digital gift cards, some do NOT. I tried using one card though I don't remember whether it was a visa gift card or just a Target one, and it definitely did not want to pay for another gift card of any type. So their terms of service will say this one way or another.

I don't disagree that there is no harm on calling Target and checking, sorry if I didn't make that clear 😅

Well also you don't know that it was a 'free gift', they just say they have a gift card. I've bought them for myself when I had money so that I didn't have to bring money, not having a credit card...

Your comment makes no sense.

That is the whole point of a gift card. You spend it like cash on what you like. Why does it make him a spoiled brat if he wants to spend the gift card on Steam funds?

Yes, he was talking about you. “OP” is forum shorthand for “opening poster”.

Take a look at that page from Target’s help page.

It mentions Target gift cards may not be used to purchase specialty gift cards for gaming.

Doesn’t hurt to try but it might not work.

Just ignore em. They're just baiting you/being immature.

As for your issue you'll have to actually go to / contact target to see if they will accept your gift card as payment for another such as a Steam card.
