How to Check Your Dave & Buster's Gift Card Balance

Check your Dave & Buster's gift card balance online (separate from a Power Card), with in-venue backup.

Check Dave & Buster's balance on official site

A Dave & Buster's gift card covers food, drinks, and game play — but note it's different from a Power Card, which is what actually holds your arcade credits. Check the gift card balance here.

Check your Dave & Buster's balance online

  1. Open the official balance page with the button above.
  2. Enter the gift card number.
  3. Add the PIN from the back of the card.
  4. Submit to view the remaining balance.

What you'll need

  • Card number — on a physical Dave & Buster's gift card or in your eGift email.
  • PIN — the code that accompanies the number.

Other ways to check

  • Ask at the front desk or Midway counter in any Dave & Buster's to scan the card.
  • Call Dave & Buster's guest services with the number for your balance.
  • Keep in mind a Power Card balance is checked separately at an in-store kiosk, not here.

If the balance won't load

  • Re-enter the number and PIN; a wrong digit is the common reason.
  • A same-day card may take a short while to activate.
  • Still stuck? Staff at the location can check it for you.

Dave & Buster's card showing $0?

People sometimes confuse the gift card with the Power Card — make sure you're checking the right one. A gift card that reads empty may have already been loaded onto a Power Card or spent; guest services can trace it with your receipt.

Got a Dave & Buster's card you won't use?

A fun-night card is easy to enjoy later or give away — save it for a group outing or hand it to friends who like the games. You can load it onto a Power Card at the venue whenever you're ready to play. (Note: FlipGift's escrow marketplace only handles shippable retail-store cards, so an entertainment card like this isn't one we can buy — though if you hold a card from one of the ~198 retailers we cover, you can sell that here.)

Dave & Buster's gift card balance — FAQ

What should I do if my Dave & Buster's gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact Dave & Buster's 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 a Dave & Buster's gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Dave & Buster's to redeem gift cards for cash unless the remaining balance falls below a small threshold (often $5–$10). The simplest way to get full value is to spend it yourself or pass it to someone who shops there.

Can I reload my Dave & Buster's gift card?

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

Do Dave & Buster's gift cards expire?

In most U.S. states, gift cards are protected from expiring for at least five years, and many Dave & Buster's 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 a Dave & Buster's gift card?

On a physical Dave & Buster's 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.

Can I check my Dave & Buster's balance without the PIN?

The online checker usually needs both the card number and PIN. Without the PIN, check your balance in store or by contacting Dave & Buster's customer service.

What can I do with a Dave & Buster's gift card I don’t want?

Use it toward a purchase you'd make anyway, regift it to someone who shops there, or check whether the brand's own app lets you combine balances — a gift card is easiest to get value from by simply spending it.
