- Email address used for the purchase
- Purchase and delivery dates
- Store location, city and state
- Product name, size, color and item number
- Shipment or return-tracking number
- Photos of damaged, incorrect or defective merchandise

Gap Returns and Exchanges
Gap generally accepts eligible online returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery and eligible store returns within 30 days of purchase. Merchandise should be unworn, unwashed and in its original condition.
Final Sale products and items purchased through the Encore Market cannot normally be returned or exchanged. Other restrictions may apply to products marked mail only, swimwear, sunglasses and other limited-return merchandise.
Damaged or defective products may receive different treatment from ordinary unwanted merchandise. Contact Customer Service and retain photos, packaging and proof of purchase.
Extended Returns for Encore Members
Gap’s Encore membership program may provide longer return options for qualifying members:
- Core members: Standard 30-day return period
- Premier members: Up to 45 days, with merchandise credit for eligible returns made after day 30
- All-Access cardmembers: Up to 60 days, with merchandise credit for eligible returns made after day 30
The customer generally must have been signed in online or identified the membership during the store purchase to receive the extended benefit.
Gap Order Changes and Cancellations
Gap processes orders quickly. Eligible self-service cancellation or shipping-address changes may be available in the Order Details section for approximately 45 minutes after purchase.
If the cancellation option is no longer available, the order may already be processing. Wait for delivery and return the eligible merchandise rather than placing a payment dispute for an order that Gap is still fulfilling.
Promotional prices or offers may not be available again after cancelling an item.
Gap Refund Timing
Keep the return confirmation and tracking number until the refund appears. Once Gap issues a refund to a credit card, the card company may require up to 10 additional business days to post it.
Purchases made with both a gift card and another payment method are generally refunded to the gift card portion first. Rewards used on returned merchandise may be restored as points rather than cash.
If a refund is delayed, contact Gap with the order number, return tracking, refund confirmation and original payment method. Contact the payment provider as well when PayPal, Apple Pay, Klarna, Afterpay or another processor is involved.
Third-Party Seller Returns and Damage Claims
Some items displayed on Gap.com are sold and shipped by third-party sellers. These products generally cannot be returned to Gap, Old Navy, Banana Republic or Athleta stores.
Start the return online and mail the item according to the seller-specific instructions. Third-party products may have separate restrictions and are excluded from Gap’s extended holiday return policy.
If a third-party item arrives damaged, contact Gap Customer Service promptly. Current instructions require damage claims for these products to be reported within 48 hours of delivery.
GapCash and Encore Rewards Help
GapCash is an Encore member benefit earned and redeemed during designated promotional periods. Review the earning dates, redemption dates, minimum purchase requirements and product exclusions before checkout.
Encore members can review points and rewards by signing in online or through the Gap app. Keep screenshots when an eligible reward, GapCash offer or points balance does not appear correctly.
Points cannot be used to pay a Gap credit-card bill. Credit-card payments must be made through Barclays.
Gap Credit Card Customer Service
Gap Encore credit cards are issued and serviced by Barclays. Contact Barclays at 1-866-383-5315 for:
- Payments and account balances
- Lost or stolen cards
- Unauthorized card activity
- Late fees or interest questions
- Account access
- Credit reporting concerns
Gap stores cannot accept Encore credit-card payments. Customers can pay through the Barclays account portal or automated phone system. A fee may apply when making a payment with a live representative.
Gap Gift-Card Help
Keep the original purchase receipt for a physical or electronic gift card. A replacement may be limited to the remaining balance and may require the original receipt or order number.
For a stolen Gap eGift card, CashStar support can be reached at 1-855-835-3753. To cancel an eGift card whose scheduled delivery date is still in the future, call 1-866-853-9918.
Do not post the complete gift-card number or PIN in a review or send it to someone claiming it is required to process a refund.
