    Colin’s link didn’t work, but when I followed the link to My Dallas Mommy and used the link provided there it worked like a charm.

    • Maryann

      Thanks! That worked for me.

    • Catie

      Thanks for the tip! 🙂

  6. axhilli

    I got a restaurant.com offer for new members of shopkick when they download the app not the target offer.

  7. Nikki

    It stated my number was already registered.

    • Carol

      same here

      • mel

        it told me the same thing. Then I remembered I downloaded the app last year, but b/c I never got kicks when I walked in stores, I deleted it off my phone. So I redownloaded the app. hoping it works this time! If not, i’ll be deleting it.again.

        • Emma

          I was having a hard time getting kicks last year too until I started leaving the app open for the whole of my trip around that store instead of just when I walked in. It might be five minutes after I walk in before the app recognizes I’m there but apart from in Macy’s it usually does eventually. Beware of malls though. It will usually recognize the mall as a whole rather than an individual store. For Macy’s I read somewhere that you need to be under the music that they play on the escalators but I’ve never had luck there

          • M

            I was having that issue and I realized that it won’t work using wifi, which my phone would connect to automatically. I had to forget the networks through my phone settings and now I have no issues getting kicks anymore.

            • mel

              I just came from Target.. was in there about 30 mins and nothing… grrr.. I always use 3g network. Is there a special “spot” that it recognizes you?

  8. Erin

    The links are swapped, the Target card is in the link for the new member sign up below the picture of the puppy.

    • Tim

      ^^ Perfect! She’s right!

    • Carol

      true, tried this and it worked.

    • Gen

      Thanks!

  9. vildan

    How do you access it after download?

  10. jenn

    it says I have already redeemd gift… but I don’t see it anywhere. I am new to this, where should this be coming up on the app? thanks for any help.

    • candicimo

      After you submit the request, it should send it to your ShopKick app on your phone – It should say you received a gift or something. You will then have a certain period of time (don’t remember) to officially “receive” the gift by walking into a Target w/ ShopKick open & your GPS enabled. After that, the gift card will be found within the app — Click the little person’s head on the top left, then click on your name on the top right, then your reward cards will be listed on the top of the page. — And actually, once you get the card # & the access #, you can use the Target app to combine it with another gift card if you have one you use regularly.

      • Cheryl

        Thank you for the info! Forgot you have to walk in to the store with link open.

  11. Mindy

    Thanks @Erin! The links are swapped!

  12. Crystal

  17. pharmchick

    • :)

      Same here

    • JoAnna

      Same here no matter how many times I try and trying different ways to enter my phone # do not work either.

  18. kandi

    i just got mine

  19. Crystal

    I’m not sure how this app works. I opened the link and entered my number but I don’t see anything in the app that says I have a $2 gift card. Is it just supposed to show up when you get to the store? Thanks!

    • mel

      someone posted above to have the app open when you walk in, then click on the head, your name and then you’ll see the gc.

  20. Stacy

    I have been getting an error message for 2 days. I think I am giving up trying.

  21. melony

    I just started using this app and just from going to the stores yesterday that had the kicks and scans I have enough for a $5 gift card 🙂 If anyone wants to use my link to join that would be awesome!! https://get.shopkick.com/spearmint11950

  22. Nita

    Not working for me i am an exisiting coustomer.

  23. Lorelei

    not working for me either 🙁 says they ran into an error… also an existing member.

    • Rachel

      make sure you enter your phone number with dashes ie. xxx-xxx-xxxx

      • Lorelei

        thanks for the hint! it still didn’t work though 🙁

  24. Savedbycoupons

    Okay, so we are supposed to scan this at the register to get the $2.00 gift card? Along with scanning the mobile coupons, the bar code from the cartwheel, the regular manufacturers coupons….I think anyone behind me at checkout will be looking to run me over in the parking lot!

    • Stacy

      I was thinking the same thing. And what is there 3 different mobile links for coupons right now

  25. Migdalia

    I got a txt about this directly from target.I love this app.Been using it for a few months now and so far I have redeemed my kicks for 2 $10 target gift cards.I have not linked my credit cards only because I dont feel comfortable doing that.Otherwise, I love it!

  26. Brandon

    Might work well with the 1.99 ALL 10 count. Use the $1 ALL coupons and can get 2 @ .99 and then use this $2 sidekick coupon. All for free hopefully!

  27. Shebella

    They sent me the email link, but when I tried to register it told me my number was invalid.

  28. Karen

    Not working

  29. Angie

    I just got the $2 gift card, but…it said it was adding it to “My Stuff”, which is where these normally go. But when I went into the app, it said I needed to update to the newest version. I did…and now I can’t find “My Stuff”! Anyone know how I actually find the gift card in the app now??

  30. Beverly

    It wasn’t working earlier today, but I was able to grab my $2 offer now thru Collin’s link.

  31. tanya

    My shopkick has not registered a single walk-in since I loaded it, so this is useless :(. I ended up uninstalling it!

  32. Chris

    Be careful with the app. The allowances you accept when you install it are insane. The app can make calls without your permission. The app can access all your other apps without permission. Etc. These things aren’t necessary…

  33. jen

    After trying repeatedly earlier today I gave up, however for some reason I decided to try it tonight and it actually worked!! Amazing, but good news 🙂

  34. Crystal

    I kept getting an error, but when I took out the ( ) for my area code and instead just used xxx-xxx-xxxx as the format, it worked … which is stupid considering the example shows to use ( ) around the area code … but anyway – hope that helps someone!

  35. Gwen

    I have the Shopkick app. I have used the phone number registered with them to hit the I aleady have app. Tried other links. When I put number in and hit submit, it just sits there; doing nothing. I have seen the opps deal, too. What’s up with that? A migraine for a 2 buck card! Lol….Help

  36. Ashley R

    I got mine earlier, but how do I redeem this

    • mel

      you have to go to the store. I will tell you this, it was a huge hassle navigating around the app. If your phone goes to sleep, you have to start all over with logging in, waiting for it to locate you. Then get the Target lookbook to load. Anyway, me and my mom were shopping for upcoming bday gifts, so I opened the app prior to walking in the store. I did the scans for kicks (huggies, st ives, cereals) and while we sat at the cafe for a few mins, the bubble popped up that I got my walk in kicks. That was after walking around the store for a good 30 mins. And its such a battery drainer. By time I got to CVS, my battery life was on yellow.
      Not sure if I want to keep the app or not. Maybe get enough points to cash out for a gc, then delete it.

  37. JoAnna

    Didn’t work Friday but worked now. Will have to walk in to Target today 🙂

  38. linda

    i haven’t used my shopkicj afor abt 2 wks now. It keeps saying “unfortunately, shopkick has stoppe. Is it the end of it or what? nI was thinking of deleting it and re-endter again but i’m afraid my points will disappear. Can u show me how to do it?

  39. Brad

    I saw the shopkick $2 gift from target and am a shopkick subscriber already but when I put in my mobile number I keep getting this error message “Oh no! We ran into an error giving you your gift 🙁
    To add the gift to your account, please enter the phone number you registered with shopkick.”

    I put the number in every way possible and still get this message.

    How can I get this fixed?
