Mastercard Gift Card Balance: How to Check It
Mastercard gift cards are issued by many different banks and retailers, so there's no single balance checker — this page routes you to the right one based on who issued your card.
Three Ways to Check Your Mastercard 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 877-322-4710 and follow the automated prompts. Have your card number ready.
- In-store — N/A — Mastercard gift cards work anywhere Debit Mastercard is accepted, so there's no single retail location to check them in person.
Where to Buy Mastercard Gift Cards
Mastercard Gift Cards are sold directly through the brand's own site, MastercardGiftCard.com, where shoppers can pick from a variety of designs and denominations for physical or eGift delivery.
They are also widely available at drugstores like Walgreens and big-box retailers such as Walmart and Target, usually near the checkout or customer service counter.
Third-party gift card marketplaces like Giftcards.com and GiftCardGranny also carry Mastercard cards, often with custom photo options.
Mastercard Gift Cards can additionally be found on Amazon, though this is only one of several places to buy one.
Terms & Expiration Notes
This card is issued by many different banks — if this checker doesn't recognize your card, check the back for the issuing bank's name and use their site instead.
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 Mastercard directly using the phone number above. We can't look up or adjust balances ourselves — only point you to the official source.
FAQ
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.
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?
Only enter it on the official site linked above. Scam sites impersonating gift card balance checkers exist — double-check the URL before entering any card details anywhere.
