Calling a toll free number is the most popular method of checking your gift card balance. A number of gift cards are provided with a toll free number at the back on which you can call to check your balance amount. You may require your card number or your access or pin number to know your balance. The second option is to check your balance online through your merchant’s website. The address of the website would be provided on the back of the card. Similar to phone verification, you might require card number or pin number.
Some cards could be verified only on the store from where you bought the gift card. However, it can be inconvenient for the person to go to the store especially when the store is not located nearby. Mostly, people prefer using the above two methods to verify the balance left in their gift card.
