How to Check Your Staples Gift Card Balance

Check what's left on your Staples gift card through the official Staples lookup, plus the details the old-school portal wants and a fix for the moments it stalls.

Check Staples balance on official site

Staples runs its balance lookup on the storedvalue.com system, and that page behaves best in a full desktop browser — a phone can time it out before the numbers load. The card itself is a physical one with a scratch-off access code, so keep it in hand before you start.

Look up your Staples card online

  1. Follow the official Staples balance link above; give the servlet a second to load.
  2. Type the long card number exactly as embossed.
  3. Add the access code hidden under the silver panel on the reverse.
  4. Confirm, and the remaining office-supply credit appears.

Have these ready

  • The full card number from the front.
  • The scratch-off access code on the back.

Other routes to your balance

  • Bring the card to any Staples store and an associate can scan it at the register for free.
  • Phone Staples gift-card support and key in the card number when prompted.

When the page won't cooperate

If the storedvalue lookup hangs, switch to a laptop browser, disable an ad-blocker for that tab, and re-enter the digits slowly. A freshly purchased card can also lag a few hours before it registers.

Reads $0 but you never spent it?

Staples cards get drained fast on print jobs, ink, and online supply orders, so a partial checkout you forgot is the usual culprit — scan your Staples order history. If it was a gift that never worked from day one, that's an activation miss at the register; the receipt lets support trace and reload it.

Cash out a Staples card you'll never spend

A drawer full of office credit you don't need can become money instead. On FlipGift you list the value and hand nothing over — the code stays with you the whole time. A buyer's payment is locked in escrow first, you use your own card to fill their order and upload the proof, and the funds release to you on delivery. Sellers keep roughly 72-88% after a flat 2.5% fee that both sides share. Sell your Staples value here.

Shopping at Staples rather than selling? A Staples 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 Staples order works out →

Staples gift card balance — FAQ

Can I get cash back for a Staples gift card?

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

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

Do Staples gift cards expire?

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

On a physical Staples 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 Staples 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 Staples customer service.

Is checking my Staples gift card balance free?

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

What can I do with a Staples 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.

Check balance for other Retail gift cards

Don’t need your Staples 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.
