How to verify the balance of A amazon gift card by phone

Can I check an Amazon gift card balance by phone?

Amazon gift cards are a popular and convenient way to shop on the online retail giant's website. However, it can be frustrating not knowing the remaining balance on your gift card, especially if you receive multiple cards or if the amount is not printed on the card itself. Thankfully, Amazon provides easy ways to check your gift card balance using either the Amazon app on your phone or through their website.

How Amazon gift cards work

When you receive an Amazon gift card, whether it's a physical card or an ecard sent through email, it comes with a unique code. This code is associated with the value of the gift card. When you redeem the gift card, the money is applied to your overall gift card balance on Amazon. If you have funds in your gift card balance, Amazon will automatically use them for your purchases. You don't have to remember to use your gift card during the checkout process.

If you prefer to save your gift card funds for specific purchases, you can opt out of using them. During the checkout process, in the "Choose a payment method" section, click on "Change" or "Change a Payment Method." Scroll down and uncheck or toggle off "Use your gift card balance." This gives you more control over how and when you use your gift card funds.

Checking your Amazon gift card balance through your web browser

If you want to check the balance of your Amazon gift cards using your web browser, follow these simple steps:

1. Go to Amazon.com.
2. Go to your Accounts page by clicking on "Account & Lists" and then "Account" from the dropdown on the upper right.
3. Select "Gift Cards."
4. On the Gift Cards page, you will see your Gift Card Balance and your Gift Card Activity.
5. In the Gift Card Activity section, you can view all the gift cards that have been claimed and see when gift card funds were applied to purchases.

This method allows you to easily track your gift card balance and see how much of it has been used for purchases.

Checking your Amazon gift card balance through the Amazon app on your phone

If you prefer to use the Amazon app on your phone to check your gift card balance, follow these steps:

1. Open the Amazon app on your phone.
2. Select the Account icon, which is usually represented by a person's silhouette or initials.
3. Scroll down and select "Gift Cards."
4. On the Gift Cards page, you will see your Gift Card Balance and your Gift Card Activity, just like on the web browser.

The Amazon app provides a convenient way to check your gift card balance on the go, making it easy to keep track of your funds while shopping.

It's important to note that Amazon does not allow you to check the balance on an unredeemed gift card. If you haven't redeemed your gift card yet, you will have to either call Amazon customer service at 888-280-4331 or redeem the gift card to see the balance.

In conclusion, checking your Amazon gift card balance by phone is simple and convenient. Whether you prefer to use the Amazon app or your web browser, you can easily keep track of your gift card funds and know how much is remaining for your future purchases.
