How to check your Best Buy gift card balance

  • Open https://www.bestbuy.com/gift-card-balance. Choose the physical or e-gift path that matches what you are holding.

  • Enter the 16-digit number and 4-digit PIN (on the back, or in the original e-gift email). Submit only on Best Buy’s page.

  • If the e-gift tab is the wrong place, switch — CashStar-issued codes belong with e-gift help, not the plastic fields.

Best Buy gift card balance FAQ

Physical Best Buy card vs e-gift — which form?

Plastic uses the 16 + 4 fields on Best Buy’s checker. E-gifts follow the e-gift / CashStar path on the same official page. Mixing the two is the usual ‘invalid’ result.

Will Checkout Saver look the number up for me?

No. We link to Best Buy and stop. A CS-hosted PAN field would be a fake checker, which we do not run.

Is Totaltech or a service credit the same as a gift card?

No. Membership and Geek Squad credits sit on the account. Gift-card dollars are a separate tender you can spend (or later sell) on their own.
