Kmart Gift Card Balance: How to Check It
Learn how to check the balance on a Kmart gift card online or in person, plus what to know now that Kmart has shrunk to only a handful of stores worldwide.
Three Ways to Check Your Kmart Balance
- Online — visit the official balance checker. You'll typically need the card number and the CVV/security code from the back of the card.
- In-store — Bring the card to the register at a participating Kmart or Sears location and ask the cashier to check the balance for you, or look at your receipt after any purchase since the remaining balance is usually printed at the bottom.
Where to Buy Kmart Gift Cards
Kmart gift cards are sold directly through kmart.com, where the card is described as good at both Sears and Kmart, online and in store, with no fees and no expiration.
Because Kmart has closed almost all of its physical stores, buying one in person is no longer realistic for most shoppers in the continental United States.
Third-party gift card marketplaces and resale sites occasionally list Kmart gift cards, sometimes at a small discount, though inventory varies.
Amazon is not a reliable source right now since the card's Amazon listing has been unavailable for some time.
If you already hold a Kmart gift card, your best bet is spending it online at kmart.com or at one of the small number of remaining stores rather than looking to buy a new one.
Terms & Expiration Notes
According to Kmart's own gift card page, the card is good at Sears and Kmart, online and in store, with no fees and no expiration date. Kmart itself has shrunk to just a handful of locations left worldwide, including a small store in Miami, Florida, plus locations in Guam and the U.S. Virgin Islands, so in-store redemption options are extremely limited in the continental U.S.
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 Kmart directly using the phone number above. We can't look up or adjust balances ourselves — only point you to the official source.
