Gift cards can be a great way to give friends and family the gift of choice. However, it’s important to know exactly how much is left on a card before making a purchase. Thankfully, our versatile MyGift balance feature makes it easy to manage and track your spending. This freedom empowers you to make informed purchasing decisions.
Discover the World of MyGift
Streamlining the gift-giving and receiving process, MyGift balance combines convenience and financial precision for an elevating experience. A key feature is the ability to conveniently check your balance, providing an efficient overview of remaining funds and empowering thoughtful spending.
Prioritizing the use of your card before the expiration date mitigates the risk of unused funds and ensures that you derive maximum value from your investment. Additionally, proactively tracking expenses in real-time allows you to optimize your financial assets and prioritize purchases that align with your long-term financial goals.
The easiest way to check your balance is to visit the official website for your selected card, usually found through the ‘Gift Card’ tab or under the ‘Cardholder Services’ section. From there, you can enter your card details and security code (typically printed on the back of the card) to access detailed information regarding the remaining balance. Additionally, you can also contact the customer service helpline for assistance with any issues or questions.
Check Your Balance
Keeping track of your gift card balance is important for many reasons. Not only can it prevent the dreaded surprise at checkout, but it also empowers you to make informed purchasing decisions and ensure that your funds are being well-used. Moreover, regular balance checks can help mitigate the risk of a missed expiration date—which happens to be one of the biggest causes of unused gift cards.
Luckily, keeping tabs on your gift card balance is easy. Whether you prefer online or offline methods, there is a variety of convenient options that will accommodate your preferences and provide a seamless experience. The most common method is to visit the official MyGift website, which features a prominently displayed link allowing you to check your balance with ease. Alternately, you can always utilize the toll-free number provided on your card’s back for a quick and easy phone inquiry. Alternatively, some retailers that issue or accept MyGift may offer their own balance inquiry services in-store, making it even more convenient to stay on top of your spending.
Reload Your Balance
Reload your gift card with additional funds whenever you have some extra cash. You can usually do this by visiting a store that accepts the card or by calling the customer service number on the back of the card.
Some merchants allow customers to reload their cards through a website. If this is the case, the card may list an account login website on the back or call the business to find out the website address. Be sure to have your payment information (credit card or checking account number, PIN, etc.) ready when you visit the reload website so that you can quickly transfer money to your gift card at the specified intervals.
Using a Money Gram or similar money transfer service provider is another way to reload your gift card balance. In some cases, state and federal tax refunds can be directly deposited to your card through this method, as well as most government assistance checks.
Manage Your Account
Stay on top of your money by signing up for account-specific alerts,1 which allow you to receive text or email notifications when your balance is low, verification transactions are complete, and more. This ensures that you’re always prepared for any expense, while providing a convenient way to stay organized and financially healthy.
GiftCardMall is committed to making your card experience as stress-free and effortless as possible. Regularly checking your balance online is an easy and efficient process that empowers you to make confident purchasing decisions.

In the event that you encounter an error or issue, their friendly customer support team is available to address your concerns and provide a prompt resolution.

Alternatively, many retail stores that accept and reload your gift cards offer balance inquiry services at their customer service desks.
