Safeway/Albertsons Gift Card Balance: How to Check It
Safeway and Albertsons gift cards work across the whole Albertsons Companies family of grocery banners, and you can check the remaining balance online, by phone, or at any register.
Three Ways to Check Your Safeway/Albertsons 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 1-877-723-3929 and follow the automated prompts. Have your card number ready.
- In-store — Bring the card to any Safeway, Albertsons, Vons, Jewel-Osco, or other Albertsons Companies banner store and hand it to the cashier or the customer service desk. They can scan it and tell you the exact balance, and if you're shopping that day you can just spend it right then instead of writing the number down. For an e-gift card, pull up the QR code on your phone so the checker can scan it directly at checkout or self-checkout.
Where to Buy Safeway/Albertsons Gift Cards

Terms & Expiration Notes
According to terms printed on Albertsons Companies gift cards, the card does not expire and carries no dormancy or service fees, and it can be used at any Albertsons, Safeway, Randalls, Tom Thumb, Pavilions, Vons, Carrs, Shaw's, Star Markets, Jewel-Osco, Acme Markets, Lucky, Haggen, Andronico's, Kings, or Balducci's location. It's meant for merchandise purchases only, so it can't be used for things like other gift cards, money orders, or lottery tickets, and lost or stolen cards are generally not replaced unless the loss is reported with proof of purchase.
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 Safeway/Albertsons directly using the phone number above. We can't look up or adjust balances ourselves — only point you to the official source.
