Starbucks Gift Card Balance: How to Check It
How to check a Starbucks Card balance online, in the app, by phone, or at any Starbucks register.
Three Ways to Check Your Starbucks 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 1-800-782-7282 and follow the automated prompts. Have your card number ready.
- In-store — Any Starbucks register — a barista scans or keys in the card number.
Where to Buy Starbucks Gift Cards
Starbucks gift cards are available directly through Starbucks.com, where you can choose from digital eGift cards or order physical cards for mailing.
Most Starbucks retail locations sell physical gift cards at the register, making an in-store stop one of the easiest options.
Common retailers like grocery stores, drugstores, and big-box stores such as Target and Walmart typically stock Starbucks gift cards in their gift card aisle.
They can also be found on Amazon in both physical and digital eGift formats, though this is just one of several convenient purchase options.
Checking your local supermarket or pharmacy is worthwhile too, since Starbucks cards are a popular pick-up item nationwide.
Terms & Expiration Notes
Also checkable in the Starbucks app — the strongest owned-app balance experience of any brand covered on this site.
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 Starbucks 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?
