As an added feature of the American Express gift card, gift card owners are allowed to check their balance in two easy ways – either online or through phone.

The first option is to check your American Express gift card balance online. You can do so by going to the link below.

• Check balance here.

If you want to know your balance online, you can visit the link above. You will have to prepare your gift card number and the card security code. These information are both found at the gift card itself. You will have to enter the last 3 digits of the card security number printed in the signature panel. If there is no 3-digit code found, you need to call the customer service number listed at the back of the card.

There is a link located on top of the page stating “Check Your Balance”. You need to click this to open a new window. You will be redirected to a secure page. For security and identification purposed, you will be required to provide the American Express Gift Card number and the Card Security number. Both numbers are found in the gift card. The card security code is typically located at the lower left hand corner, right hand center or at the back of the gift card. This is a 4-digit code.

Checking gift card balance has advantages over phone. This is because it doesn’t only provide you with the remaining balance but also the transaction history which shows breakdown of how the gift card value was spent. This is helpful in many ways such as for audit purposes, validity checking, and budgeting.

Another way is to check AMEX gift card balance is through phone by calling the hotline. The toll free within the United States is 1-877-AXP-GIFT. This telephone number is printed on the back of the gift card. You might also need to prepare you gift card number and card security code for identification authorization.
