Gift cards are a wonderful way to treat yourself or a loved one to something special, whether it’s for a birthday, anniversary, or just a thoughtful gesture. However, keeping track of the balance on your gift card can sometimes be a bit tricky. Don’t worry – we’re here to help! At Gift Shop London, we understand that using a gift card to buy your personalised gifts or hampers is one of the easiest and most enjoyable ways to shop. That’s why we’ve put together this simple guide to help you check your gift card balance, so you can keep track of your spending and ensure you have enough funds to make your next purchase.
1. Check the Gift Card Packaging or Receipt
When you receive a gift card, the balance might be included in the packaging or on the receipt that accompanies it. Many stores, including ours at Gift Shop London, provide the current balance on the card’s packaging. If you haven’t used the card yet or need to double-check, take a look at the packaging or receipt – you may already have this information to hand.
2. Online Balance Check
In today’s digital age, checking the balance of your gift card online is quick and easy. Many retailers, including our store, offer online balance checks for your convenience. To check your balance:
- Visit the retailer’s website (for example, Gift Shop London).
- Look for the “Gift Card” or “Check Balance” section.
- Enter your gift card number and PIN (if required), which is usually located on the back of the card under a scratch-off panel.
- You will then be shown the remaining balance on your gift card.
If you’re considering buying a personalised gift or hamper from us at Gift Shop London, simply visit our website and check the balance of your gift card before placing your order. This ensures you know exactly how much you have available for your purchase.
3. Call Customer Service
If you’re unsure how to check your gift card balance online or don’t have internet access, many retailers provide customer service phone lines where you can check your balance. For example, you can call Gift Shop London’s customer service team and they’ll be happy to assist you with checking your gift card balance. Be ready to provide the card details, including the number and PIN, for security purposes.
4. Check in Store
If you prefer a more personal touch, you can always visit Gift Shop London in person to check your gift card balance.
