How to Check Your Amazon Gift Card Balance

Check your Amazon gift card balance in your account, and sell credit you won't spend through FlipGift escrow — the code stays private.

Check Amazon balance on official site

Amazon gift cards arrive as physical cards with a scratch-off claim code or as digital codes by email, and both are redeemed at Amazon.com toward almost anything the site sells.

Checking your Amazon gift card balance

  1. Open the Amazon gift card balance link above (you may need to sign in).
  2. If the code isn't applied yet, use "Redeem a gift card" and enter the claim code.
  3. Your Gift Card Balance shows in your account under Payments.

What you'll need

  • The claim code — under the scratch-off on a physical card or in the email for a digital one.
  • Your Amazon sign-in to view or apply the balance.

Other ways to check

Once redeemed, the balance lives in Your Account → Gift Card Balance and applies automatically at checkout. Amazon has no in-store lookup, so everything happens inside your account.

If the balance won't load

An un-redeemed code shows no balance until you apply it. If redemption fails, the code may already be on an account — Amazon codes attach permanently the moment they're entered.

Amazon balance reading $0?

The one to know: once you redeem an Amazon code, the value moves into your account balance for good and the card itself reads zero — that's normal, not a fault. Check Your Account for the applied balance. Only redeem the code once you're sure you want it, because it can't be pulled back off the account afterward.

Selling an Amazon card you won't use

Amazon credit you'll never spend is easy to turn into cash on FlipGift, and the code never leaves your hands: you list the value, a buyer's funds are held in escrow, you use your own card to place and ship their order, and cash is released once tracking confirms delivery. The fee is a flat 2.5% split between both sides, and sellers usually net 72–88% of face value. See how escrow works →

Shopping at Amazon rather than selling? A Amazon order placed through escrow lands 8–40% under retail — someone else's balance pays for it and the item ships to you, with no code changing hands either way. How a Amazon order works out →

Amazon gift card balance — FAQ

Can I combine multiple Amazon gift cards?

Amazon usually lets you apply more than one gift card to a single order at checkout. The exact limit depends on the platform (online vs. in store) — if a card isn’t accepted at the register, try splitting payment online instead.

What should I do if my Amazon gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact Amazon customer service as soon as possible. Without a receipt or registration, gift cards generally cannot be replaced — treat them like cash and record the number and PIN somewhere safe right after purchase.

Can I get cash back for an Amazon gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Amazon to redeem gift cards for cash unless the remaining balance falls below a small threshold (often $5–$10). To turn an unwanted card into cash instead, sell its value through FlipGift Escrow — you keep the card and its code, and typically net 72–88% of face value.

Can I reload my Amazon gift card?

Some Amazon gift cards can be reloaded online or in store, others can’t — it depends on the program. Check the card’s terms or the Amazon site to confirm whether your card supports reload.

Do Amazon gift cards expire?

In most U.S. states, gift cards are protected from expiring for at least five years, and many Amazon cards don’t expire at all. Check the terms printed on your card or its packaging to be sure.

Where do I find the card number and PIN on an Amazon gift card?

On a physical Amazon card, the number is printed on the front or back, and the PIN is usually a separate code under a scratch-off panel on the back. For an eGift card, both are in your confirmation email.

What can I do with an Amazon gift card I don’t want?

If you won't use it, sell its value through FlipGift Escrow — you keep the card and its code, and typically net 72–88% of face value, instead of letting the balance go to waste.

Don’t need your Amazon card?

Sell it via FlipGift escrow — the code stays with you the whole time. You redeem the card yourself to deliver the buyer’s order, and the buyer’s money is held until delivery is confirmed. Sellers typically net 72–88% of face value.
