Lowe's Gift Card Balance: How to Check It
How to check a Lowe's gift card balance online, by phone, or in store, and what happens if the card sits at a $0 balance.
Three Ways to Check Your Lowe's 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.
- Phone — call 1-800-560-7172 and follow the automated prompts. Have your card number ready.
- In-store — Ask at the customer service desk at any Lowe's store.
Where to Buy Lowe's Gift Cards
Lowe's own website lets you buy both physical and digital gift cards directly, with options to customize the design or send an eGift by email or text.
In person, standard and customized Lowe's gift cards are available at any Lowe's store location, purchased right at the register or customer service desk.
Big-box retailers and grocery store gift card racks sometimes stock Lowe's cards alongside other home and department store options, though selection varies by location.
Lowe's gift cards are also listed on Amazon in physical and eGift formats, sold through Amazon's own gift card marketplace.
For guaranteed availability and the widest range of amounts, Lowes.com remains the most reliable source.
Terms & Expiration Notes
Lowe's gift cards never expire and have no fees; a card left at a $0 balance for 90 days is automatically deactivated.
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 Lowe's directly using the phone number above. We can't look up or adjust balances ourselves — only point you to the official source.

Can I check my balance on my phone?
Yes, the online balance checker above works on mobile, and the phone number can be dialed directly from this page.
Is it safe to enter my card number online?
