Amazon gift cards are a popular and convenient way to shop online for millions of products. Whether you received one as a gift, bought it for yourself, or use them to manage your spending, it’s important to know how to perform an Amazon gift card balance check before you start shopping.
This guide explains different ways to check your Amazon gift card balance, tips to manage it, and solutions if you face issues.
An Amazon gift card balance check is the process of finding out how much money is left on your gift card or in your Amazon account.
When you redeem a gift card, the amount is added to your Amazon balance.
Your balance can be used to pay for eligible purchases and will automatically apply at checkout.
Checking your Amazon balance helps you:
Plan purchases without surprises at checkout
Avoid declined orders due to insufficient balance
Keep track of spending if you use multiple cards
Go to Amazon.com.
Sign in to your account.
Hover over “Account & Lists” (on desktop) or open the menu (☰ on mobile browser).
Click “Gift Cards”.
Your current balance will appear at the top of the page.
Open the Amazon app on your phone or tablet.
Tap the menu icon (☰) in the bottom or top right corner.
Select “Your Account”.
Scroll to “Manage Gift Card Balance”.
Your available balance will be displayed instantly.
If you haven’t redeemed your card yet:
Go to “Redeem a Gift Card” in the Amazon app or website.
Enter the claim code (found on the back of the card or in the email if digital).
Your balance will update immediately after you click “Apply to Your Balance”.
Redeem as soon as you get the card to prevent losing it.
Keep track of your purchases — your balance will automatically decrease with each order.
Combine multiple cards into one Amazon balance for convenience.
