How to Check Your Saks Fifth Avenue Gift Card Balance

Checking a Saks Fifth Avenue gift card? Saks and Saks OFF 5TH run separate gift-card programs, so make sure you're using the right one. Here's the Saks Fifth Avenue lookup.

Check Saks Fifth Avenue balance on official site

Checking a Saks Fifth Avenue gift card? Saks and Saks OFF 5TH run separate gift-card programs, so make sure you're using the right one. Here's the Saks Fifth Avenue lookup.

Check your Saks Fifth Avenue gift card balance online

Saks Fifth Avenue's balance page is on saksfifthavenue.com. Worth knowing: a full-price Saks card and a Saks OFF 5TH outlet card are not interchangeable, so use the checker that matches your card.

  1. Reach the balance page from the button above.
  2. Input the card number from the front.
  3. Enter the PIN — under the scratch-off on plastic cards, or in the email for an eGift.
  4. Submit to reveal your balance.

What you'll need

  • The Saks Fifth Avenue card number (physical or eGift).
  • The PIN / security code paired with it.

Other ways to check

  • In store: a Saks associate can scan the card and read the balance for free.
  • By phone: Saks client services can look it up with your card number.
  • On a receipt: the leftover balance normally prints after a purchase.

If the balance won't load

  • Confirm you're on the Saks Fifth Avenue page and not the OFF 5TH one — the two systems don't share balances.
  • Re-enter every digit; one error stops the lookup.
  • A card just purchased may need time to activate before it shows.

Why a Saks card can read $0

The first thing to rule out is a card mix-up: a Saks OFF 5TH card checked on the Saks Fifth Avenue page will look empty because it lives in a different system. If it truly is a Saks Fifth Avenue card, luxury purchases add up fast, so it may simply have been spent — review your Saks account. A pristine card stuck at zero usually means activation didn't complete, which client services can confirm from the receipt.

Turn a Saks balance into cash you'll actually use

A luxury-department-store card is a generous gift, but not everyone shops at that price point, so the value can sit idle. FlipGift's escrow lets you sell the balance for cash without sharing the number or PIN: post the amount, the buyer's funds are escrowed, you complete their order with your own card, and payment is released after delivery. Sellers usually net 72–88% of the face value on a flat 2.5% fee split evenly. See the escrow process →

Shopping at Saks Fifth Avenue rather than selling? A Saks Fifth Avenue 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 Saks Fifth Avenue order works out →

Saks Fifth Avenue gift card balance — FAQ

Where do I find the card number and PIN on a Saks Fifth Avenue gift card?

On a physical Saks Fifth Avenue 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 Saks Fifth Avenue 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 Saks Fifth Avenue customer service.

Is checking my Saks Fifth Avenue gift card balance free?

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

Can I combine multiple Saks Fifth Avenue gift cards?

Saks Fifth Avenue 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 Saks Fifth Avenue gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact Saks Fifth Avenue 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 Saks Fifth Avenue gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require Saks Fifth Avenue 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.

What can I do with a Saks Fifth Avenue 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 Saks Fifth Avenue 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.
