The most straightforward way to know the balance of an Amazon gift card is to apply it to your Amazon account. Doing so means that no one else can use the card, which would be an issue if you wanted to give it to someone else. A better alternative would be to use the card\u2019s claim code to find out the balance of the card without applying it to your account. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
To check the balance of an Amazon gift card without redeeming it, you have to contact Amazon customer support. You should be logged in to your Amazon account. After getting in touch with an agent, you\u2019ll have to key in the card\u2019s claim code, which will help the agent access the balance. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Accessing Amazon\u2019s live agents isn\u2019t exactly a straightforward procedure. In this article, I\u2019ll outline the process you should follow to get the balance of a gift card without redeeming it. I\u2019ll also deal with common issues customers encounter when dealing with Amazon gift cards. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You can\u2019t transfer<\/a> your Amazon gift card balance to another person. That\u2019s why you have to go through the relative hassle of calling a customer support agent to check the balance of a gift card for you. <\/p>\n\n\n\n You\u2019ll need to do the following: <\/p>\n\n\n\n Below is a detailed explanation of each step of the process above. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you successfully contact Amazon customer support, you\u2019ll need to give them the claim code of your card. They\u2019ll need it to access the balance. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Before you get into the process of contacting Amazon, it would be a good idea to have the code on hand. That way, once you\u2019re in contact, you won\u2019t have to fumble around, and there\u2019ll be no wasted time. <\/p>\n\n\n\n The easiest way to get the claim code is from the back of the gift card<\/strong>. It\u2019s usually covered with a protective film. You\u2019ll have to scratch the film off to access the code.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you intend to give someone the card, you might want to keep the protective covering intact. <\/p>\n\n\n\n To get the code of an Amazon gift card without scratching the protective covering off, you can use the receipt you got after purchasing the card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Gift cards can be physical or virtual. When purchasing an Amazon gift card for someone, you can get a virtual version that you send to them via email or a range of messaging apps.<\/p>\n\n\n\n When the recipient receives the virtual gift card, they can easily access the code from the message that came with the gift card<\/strong>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Ensure you can easily access the code so that you can communicate it to the Amazon support agent when you get a hold of them. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Checking the balance of a gift card without redeeming it requires you to talk to a customer support agent. And you can\u2019t do that if you aren\u2019t signed in to an Amazon account, especially if you want to chat with the customer support team.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you don\u2019t have an account, you\u2019ll have to create one. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Creating an Amazon account is pretty straightforward. You need to navigate to the sign-in page<\/strong><\/a> on the Amazon website. Once you are on Amazon’s website, click on “Sign in” on the top right of the window. Then, follow the below mentioned process:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n After logging in to your account, you can go ahead with the rest of the process. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Once you are signed in to your Amazon account, the next step is accessing Amazon\u2019s customer service<\/a><\/strong>.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n When you navigate to the \u201cCustomer Service\u201d<\/strong> option on the website, you\u2019ll be directed to a library with helpful information about common issues. The information is grouped into broad categories. <\/p>\n\n\n\n One of the categories is \u201cPayment, charges or gift cards.\u201d Once you\u2019re here, you can follow this process to access customer service:\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\nHow To Check an Amazon Gift Card Balance Without Redeeming It<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
