Amazon gift cards are popular and versatile gifts, often gifted during the holiday season or as a token of appreciation. They usually come with a set starting balance, which is clearly stated on the physical card or in the email for eGift cards. But what happens when you wish to know the remaining balance on a card you’ve already used, or you want to top up a gift card you’ve depleted? With Black Friday and Cyber Week approaching, it’s crucial to know how much you have left on your gift cards to plan your shopping spree. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to check your Amazon gift card balance.

To check your Amazon gift card balance from your computer, follow these steps:

Step 1: Navigate to the Amazon website.

Step 2: Locate and click on ‘Accounts & Lists’ found on the top right corner of the homepage.

Step 3: A new menu will appear. Choose ‘Gift cards’ from this menu.

Step 4: You’ll now be able to view the remaining balance on your gift card. If your gift card is still unused, and you’d like to redeem it, simply click on ‘Redeem a Gift Card.’ This menu also gives you the option to ‘Reload your card’ or view your transaction history, which is listed below the gift card balance.

If you prefer to use the mobile app, here’s how you can check your Amazon gift card balance:

Step 1: Open the app and tap on the ‘account icon’ at the bottom of the home page (represented by a small person icon). Then select ‘Account’ at the top of the page.

Step 2: Scroll down until you find the ‘Payments section.’

Step 3: In the Payments section, tap on ‘Manage gift card balance.’

Step 4: A new menu will open where you can check your gift card balance, reload your gift card, or view your previous activity.

Conveniently, Amazon allows you to manage your gift card balance easily, either through their website or mobile app. Whether you’re preparing for a shopping spree or just want to keep track of your gift card balances, this easy guide should help you navigate the process effectively.
