Does a Target RedCard give you longer to return things?

Usually yes: RedCard purchases typically get extra time on top of the standard window, though the extension sits on top of each category's own window rather than overriding the short ones.

How the extra time stacks

The extension is added to whichever window the item already has. An item in the shorter electronics bracket gets extra days on the electronics window, not the general one, so a RedCard does not turn a short-window item into a long-window item.

The quiet second benefit

Paying with a RedCard also means the purchase is attached to your account, so a lost receipt is not a problem. The lookup finds it. For anything you think you might return, that is worth more than the extra days.
