Here Are the Easiest Ways to Check Your Visa Gift Card Balance (2024)

Learning how to check your Visa gift card balance is easy — and it's a good thing, because these amounts can be tough to remember. Once you've activated the Visa gift card, you can spend it however you choose, whether in stores for practicalities like groceries or online for a splurgy gift for yourself. After a few swipes, you'll probably be curious about how much you have left.

Luckily, you can figure out how to check your Visa gift card balance in just a few steps. Read on to find out more.

You can check your Visa gift card balance online by looking at the back of the card and visiting the card issuer's website that's listed there. You'll need the 16-digit card number, expiration date, and CVV to look up the balance.

If you know the issuing brand of your Visa gift card, you can also visit their site directly below:

• Visa Vanilla Gift Cards
• Giftcards.com
• Gift Card Mall
• Commerce Bank
• Navy Federal
• Walmart

Another way to check the balance of your Visa gift card is to call the toll-free number that's on the card. You'll be prompted over the phone by an automated voice messaging system to enter the 16-digit card number, expiration date, and CVV, and the automated system will tell you the remaining balance.

When you add your Visa gift card to your smartphone's Wallet app, keep in mind that, for security purposes, you won't be able to view or edit the card's information after it's added.

If the Visa gift card was a physical card, you will need that card's number, expiration date, and CVV to check the balance online or over the phone because you cannot access this information through the Wallet app. It's a good idea to copy and store this information in a secure place if you want to get rid of the physical card.

If the Visa gift card was sent to you digitally, check your email for the original link to activate the gift card. You should be able to access the balance from this link as well.
