Balance Checker

Pick your retailer below, open that brand's official balance checker from the guide, and enter the card number and PIN (if required) only on the retailer's site. Checkout Saver does not host a balance form.

Physical cards commonly print the number on the back. Digital / eGift cards usually include it in the delivery email, text, or wallet app. Exact placement varies by brand.

Often beneath a scratch-off panel or printed near the card number. eGift cards generally provide the PIN digitally. Some retailers call it an access code, CID, or security code.

It depends on the retailer. Some look up the card with the number alone; many require a PIN. If your card has no PIN, a store service desk can often help.

Usually no — if the retailer asks for a PIN, you need the full code. Leaving the scratch-off intact can make online checks fail. Only scratch when you are ready to check or spend.

Yes for most major brands. Use the retailer links on this page to reach each official checker. Avoid third-party sites that ask you to paste card numbers.

Some retailers publish automated balance-check phone numbers. When a brand offers one, we mention it on that retailer's balance guide.

Many retailers can read the balance at the register or customer-service desk. That is often the easiest option if the website is behind a login wall.

The funds may already be spent, the wrong number/PIN was entered, or the card was never activated. Confirm the digits and try the retailer's support path listed on their official page.

In the United States, most traditional gift cards do not expire. Promo credits and some store-specific tenders can have dates — those are not the same as gift-card dollars.

Many retailers let you apply more than one gift card per order, online or in store. Limits vary by brand.

Yes. Once you know the remaining amount, you can get a sell quote on Checkout Saver for unused value (up to 85% after verification). We still never ask you to type the number into a Checkout Saver balance form.

Spend it on a small purchase at that retailer, combine it with another tender if the store allows, buy a discounted card to top up when inventory is listed, or sell the leftover value.

Yes — when you use the retailer's official checker. Never share a card number or PIN with someone who contacts you unexpectedly. Treat the PIN like cash.

No. Checkout Saver's balance guides direct you to the retailer's official balance checker. You enter sensitive card information on the retailer's site, not Checkout Saver.
