How to Check Your Gift Card Balance

To ensure the security of your gift cards and access the most up-to-date balance information, we recommend checking your balance directly with the official card issuers. Below are guides for the most common gift card types.

Important Information

For security purposes, AMRGifts does not provide direct balance checking services. Instead, we guide you to the official channels provided by card issuers to ensure your information remains secure and your balance information is accurate.

General Steps for Checking Any Gift Card Balance

1

Locate Your Card Information

Find your card number (typically 16 digits) on the front of the card or in your email for digital cards. Also locate the security code/PIN (usually on the back of physical cards or in the email for digital cards).

2

Visit the Official Website

Go to the official website of the gift card issuer. Most retailers have a dedicated "Gift Card Balance" or "Check Balance" section on their websites. For Visa or Mastercard gift cards, visit their official websites.

Enter Your Card Details

Enter your card number, security code/PIN, and any other required information in the provided fields. Make sure to enter the information exactly as it appears on your card.

After submitting your card details, the current balance will be displayed on your screen. Some retailers may also show recent transaction history and card expiration date.
