Check Macy's balance on official site

Find out exactly what's on your Macy's gift card. Macy's checker uses a captcha and locks after a few wrong tries, so enter carefully — here's the link, steps and what to expect.

See your Macy's gift card balance online

Macy's balance page (built in Vue) adds a reCAPTCHA and will temporarily lock the card after three invalid attempts, so get the digits right before you submit.

  1. Open Macy's gift-card balance page (button above).
  2. Enter the card number.
  3. Add the PIN from the back.
  4. Clear the "I'm not a robot" check, then submit.

What you'll need

  • The card number from your Macy's card or eGift email.
  • The PIN — and a bit of patience for the captcha step.

Other ways to check

  • In any Macy's store: the register or a sales associate scans it for free.
  • Bloomingdale's: as a sister brand, staff there can often help with a Macy's card too.
  • Phone: Macy's customer service reads the balance from the card number — handy if the captcha keeps blocking you.

If the balance won't load

  • Enter the number slowly — three wrong tries locks the card for a while.
  • If it's locked, wait it out or call Macy's support instead.
  • A same-day card may need a couple of hours to activate.

Macy's card at $0?

Department-store cards get half-spent on one sale purchase and forgotten, so a small leftover often reads as empty. Cross-check your recent Macy's orders. If the card was never used and still shows zero, that usually points to a register activation miss — keep the receipt and Macy's can look up the activation log and restore funds.

Turn a Macy's card into cash

Not somewhere you shop, or the gift's just sitting in a drawer? You can sell the value on FlipGift rather than buy something to use it up. Your code stays private: list the amount, the buyer's payment is held in escrow, you place their order with your own card, and the money releases on delivery. Sellers typically keep 72–88% of face, with the flat 2.5% fee split between both parties. Sell your Macy's value →

Shopping at Macy's rather than selling? A Macy's 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 Macy's order works out →

Macy's gift card balance — FAQ

Can I check my Macy'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 Macy's customer service.

Is checking my Macy's gift card balance free?

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

Can I combine multiple Macy's gift cards?

Macy's 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 Macy's gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact Macy'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 Macy's gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Macy's 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 Macy's gift card?

Some Macy'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 Macy's site to confirm whether your card supports reload.

What can I do with a Macy's 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 Macy's 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.
