Balance Showing $0 or the Check Failed?
A few common reasons: the card hasn't been activated yet, the funds have already been spent, the card was reported lost or deactivated, or — less commonly — the card was compromised before you got to use it. If something looks wrong, contact John Lewis & Partners directly using the phone number above. We can't look up or adjust balances ourselves — only point you to the official source.
