Amazon gift cards are a favorite for many—whether you received one for your birthday, a holiday, or simply want to keep track of how much is left after shopping. Luckily, checking your Amazon gift card balance is super easy, and you can do it in just a few taps or clicks.
In this guide, I’ll walk you through all the ways to check your Amazon gift card balance, including how to check it without redeeming the card.
1. How to Check Your Amazon Gift Card Balance on the Website
If you’re on a laptop or desktop, follow these steps:
- Go to Amazon.com and sign in.
- Hover over “Account & Lists” at the top right.
- Click “Gift Cards” from the dropdown.
- Your current gift card balance will appear at the top of the page.
- If you want to add a new card, click “Redeem a Gift Card” and enter the claim code.
➡️ Tip: Once you redeem a card, the balance automatically applies to your next purchase.
2. How to Check Amazon Gift Card Balance on the Amazon App
Using the app? Here’s what to do:
- Open the Amazon app and log in.
- Tap the profile icon (bottom menu).
- Select “Your Account.”
- Scroll down and tap “Gift Card Balance.”
- Your balance will be displayed instantly.
This is also where you can add or redeem a new gift card by entering the claim code.
3. Can You Check an Amazon Gift Card Balance Without Redeeming It?
Amazon does not allow checking the balance of a physical gift card without redeeming it to an account.
However, here are two alternatives:
✔️ Option 1: Add the card to your account but don’t spend it
Redeeming the card doesn’t force you to use it right away.
Your balance stays saved until you make a purchase.
✔️ Option 2: Contact Amazon Support
You can contact Amazon customer service and provide the gift card code.
They can confirm whether the card has been used (but may not show the exact balance).
4. Tips to Keep Your Amazon Gift Card Safe
- Take a picture of the back of your card when you receive it.
- Never share your claim code with anyone.
- Avoid third-party “balance checker” websites—they are scams.
- Redeem your gift card into your account as soon as you get it.
5. Why Check Your Balance Regularly?
Knowing your balance helps you:
- Plan your purchases
- Avoid failed payments
- Combine multiple gift cards
- Keep track of your budget
Amazon updates your balance in real time after every order, so you’ll always know where you stand.
Final Thoughts
Checking your Amazon gift card balance is quick and convenient—whether you’re using the website or the app. By following the steps above, you’ll always keep track of your gift card funds and shop with confidence.
