Learn how to check your John Lewis & Partners gift card balance online, by phone, or in store. Cards work at John Lewis and Waitrose and last 24 months from last use.
Buy John Lewis & Partners gift cards and e-gift cards directly from the official site at johnlewisgiftcard.com or via johnlewis.com.
They are sold in all John Lewis & Partners department stores and Waitrose & Partners shops across the UK.
E-gift cards are also available through selected partners such as Morrisons gift card stores.
Physical and digital options start from low amounts and go up to several hundred pounds, with personalisation available on many e-gift designs.
Gift cards expire 24 months from purchase or last use. Making a purchase or a balance enquiry refreshes the 24-month expiry period. No cash refunds on remaining balances after expiry. Some exclusions apply (for example certain concessions, petrol, tobacco, and financial products).
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.
Do I need to create an account to check my balance?
No — most balance checks, online or by phone, just need the card number and security code/PIN, not an account.

Yes, the online balance checker above works on mobile, and the phone number can be dialed directly from this page.
