How to Check Your Walmart Gift Card Balance

Walmart's balance page occasionally greets you with a "technical issue" message on the first attempt; just reload and try once more — it almost always works on the second pass. The card is physical with a PIN under a scratch strip (eGifts carry both numbers in the email).

Check your Walmart balance online

1. Open the official Walmart gift-card balance page above.
2. Enter the card number.
3. Enter the PIN from behind the scratch panel.
4. Submit — and if it errors, reload and retry once.

What you'll need

• The Walmart card number.
• The PIN, or eGift security code from the email.

Other ways to check

• Any Walmart register or service desk will scan the card free of charge.
• Walmart's 24/7 gift-card line reads the balance back to you.
• The balance often prints on your receipt after a purchase.

If the balance won't load

Beyond the retry-once quirk, confirm every digit — a mistyped PIN is the most frequent failure. A card bought minutes ago may need a few hours to activate.

My card shows $0

Usually a partial purchase you'd forgotten pulled from it — cross-check recent Walmart orders. If a card was never used and still reads zero, that's an activation problem at the register; the receipt lets Walmart look up the log and restore funds.

Sell a Walmart card you won't spend

If that balance is one you'd rather cash in, FlipGift moves the value without the code ever leaving you. The buyer's payment locks in escrow, you place their order on your own card and upload the screenshots and tracking, and escrow releases your money once delivery clears. Sellers keep roughly 72-88% after a 2.5% fee shared both ways. Sell your Walmart value.

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