How to Check Your Prepaid Visa or Mastercard Gift Card Balance.
Remember to check your balance as soon as you received it. Also, I highly recommend taking a phone of the front and the back of the card, in case you lose it and have reorder a new card. I also recommend activating your Visa card and registering it with an address, so that you can use it online and for mail order purchases.
Need to know what’s left on your gift card? Follow these steps and use only the official sites listed below. A fake balance-check page can steal your funds in seconds, so type each URL exactly as shown and look for the HTTPS padlock. Important!
How to Check your Visa Gift Card Balance
- Flip the card over. The back always lists an official website or a toll-free phone number.
- Open the site printed on the card. Re-type it in your browser—do not rely on search-engine results or ads.
- Enter the three numbers:
- 16-digit card number (front)
- Expiration date (MM/YY)
- CVV / security code (3 digits on the back, sometimes under scratch-off)
- Submit and read the balance. You’ll usually see recent transactions, too. Screenshot the page in case of disputes.
- Watch for red flags. If the site asks for personal data (SSN, selfie, bank info) or charges a “verification” fee, leave immediately.
To check your Visa gift card balance, find the 16 digit number at the front of the card, and the expiry date in Month/Year format.. Then turn the card around and find the 3 digit security code, Enter these details on the correct website, and you will have activated your car, You can also check your current balance.

- Confirm the HTTPS padlock before typing any numbers.
