Want to check your Walmart gift card balance before you shop? You can do it online in seconds, by phone around the clock, or at any Walmart store. Here is exactly how each method works.
Quick answer
Check your Walmart gift card balance online at Walmart’s official balance page, walmart.com/account/giftcards/balance. Enter your 16-digit card number and 4-digit PIN, then select Check Balance. You can also call 1-888-537-5503 or ask any Walmart cashier in-store.
What You Need
- 16-digit card number: printed on the front or back of the card, or in your email for e-gift cards.
- 4-digit PIN: hidden under the scratch-off panel on the back of physical cards.

- Enter your 16-digit gift card number in the first field.
- Enter your 4-digit PIN in the second field.

If you have a Walmart.com account, you can save the card under Account, then Gift Cards, in the Walmart app to track the balance over time.
Method 2: Check by Phone

Tip
Walmart gift cards never expire and carry no fees, so there is no rush to spend them. Still, checking your balance before checkout helps you avoid surprises at the register.
Safety
Only check your balance on Walmart’s official website or official phone line. CheckIC never asks for your card number or PIN. Never share your card details with anyone who contacts you unexpectedly, and stay away from fake balance checker sites.
