How to Check Your Fandango Gift Card Balance

Check your Fandango gift card balance online or in your account before booking movie tickets.

Check Fandango balance on official site

Fandango gift cards buy movie tickets at participating theaters and can also go toward on-demand films through Fandango at Home. Check the balance before booking a showtime.

Check your Fandango gift card balance online

  1. Open Fandango's official balance page using the button above.
  2. Enter the card number.
  3. Add the PIN from the back of the card.
  4. Submit to see the current balance.

What you'll need

  • Card number — on a physical Fandango card or in your eGift email.
  • PIN — the code required with the number.

Other ways to check

  • Sign in to your Fandango account and add the gift card, where the balance applies at checkout.
  • Contact Fandango customer support if a card won't scan or the balance looks wrong.
  • Your gift email lists the amount that was originally loaded.

If the balance won't load

  • Re-enter the number and PIN; a wrong digit is the common cause.
  • A recently issued card may need a short delay before it's active.
  • Still stuck? Fandango support can confirm the balance for you.

Fandango card showing $0?

Once a Fandango card is added to your account, the credit lives there — so a $0 reading on the card may mean it was already applied to your account and used. Check your Fandango purchase history; if the card was never redeemed, contact support with your confirmation.

Got a Fandango card you won't use?

Movie credit is easy to save for your next release or gift to someone who loves the theater — just add it to their Fandango account. A small balance can knock a few dollars off any ticket purchase. (Note: FlipGift's escrow marketplace only handles shippable retail-store cards, so a movie-ticket card 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.)

Fandango gift card balance — FAQ

Can I get cash back for a Fandango gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Fandango 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 Fandango gift card?

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

Do Fandango gift cards expire?

In most U.S. states, gift cards are protected from expiring for at least five years, and many Fandango 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 Fandango gift card?

On a physical Fandango 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 Fandango 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 Fandango customer service.

Is checking my Fandango gift card balance free?

Yes. Checking your balance online, by phone, or in store is always free — Fandango never charges to look up a gift card balance.

What can I do with a Fandango 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.
