Check the Remaining Balance on a Gift Card

1

Open Gift Cards

Go to Manage > Gift Cards.

2

Find the Gift Card

The easiest way to locate the Gift Card, especially when you have a lot of Gift Cards on this page, is to use your computer's "Find" functionality.

• Hold down the CTRL button on your keyboard and press F, then start typing the Gift Card code. You should be auto-directed to the computer's first find.

• If you are using a Mac computer, hold down COMMAND instead of CTRL.

3

View Gift Card details

Click on the Gift Card code to see the real-time remaining balance, when the Gift Card was purchased, who it was purchased by, and the usage history on the Gift Card.

If you cannot seem to locate the Gift Card code, you may want to click the "Show/Hide Expired Gift Cards" button in the top, right corner of the page. If you find a Gift Card in this list with a remaining balance, but are having a hard time redeeming it, the ticket the Gift Card was originally sold on is likely still open!
