The trade-in program is a convenience play for Target: Consumers could likely get a better valuation on their old gift cards at sites like Cardpool.com, but in-store exchanges appeal to some customers, according to the report.

"We know guests sometimes have unwanted or unused gift cards and [we] want to give them a convenient option to put those unused dollars toward shopping at Target," a Target spokeswoman told the Star Tribune.
Walmart stores, GameStop and Coinstar already offer similar programs, according to Consumerist.
