    Since Target got their online account access running this week, I paid my statement balance online on the 31st. When I checked it this morning to see if the payment had posted I noticed I had a pretty large credit balance on my account. When I checked the transaction detail I saw that Target processed my payment twice.

    DaveLV,


    Thanks for the warning. I told my brother to use BofA billpau and they will get in a couple of days. That what I used when they don't have any on-line access.

    Unfortunately it happened to me four months in a row. I now pay in the stores.

    author_22,

    I thought they just started on-line account management two days ago and how can they do it to you four in a row???

    It's not going to break the bank for me either, George but it is anoying and I wouldn't want to have it happen on a regular basis. If it happens again I'll just go back to paying in the store or using my bank's online bill payment service.

    I generally only keep the amount I need to cover bills plus a small cushion in my checking account and I transfer money to cover each payment as I make it. If I wasn't such a compulsive freak and I didn't look at all of my credit card and bank accounts online every day I wouldn't have noticed the extra "payment" until I tried to balance my accounts next month.

    He might be talking about the target guest card - not visa - I've been able to make online payments w/ the store card since I got it last year. I haven't had any problems with double payments thankfully :)

    Kelly,


    I have Target Guest Card and I had trouble for making on-line payment. I forgot what it was and it was long time ago. I made payments through Bank Of America Bill pay and they received my payments within a couple of days. Last night , My brother tried to logged in the Target websites and the system respones back "ERROR. Try AGAIN Later". I guess they haven't solve the system bug.
