Checking an Apple Gift Card balance depends on whether the card is unredeemed (using the code on the back) or already redeemed to your account. Unredeemed cards can be checked online via Apple's secure balance tool, while redeemed balances are viewed under your Apple Account in the App Store.
Quick Guide to Check Apple Gift Card Balance
- Unredeemed Cards: Check via Apple’s official web portal using the card’s PIN/code.
- Redeemed Cards: Once redeemed, the funds move directly into your Apple Account Balance and can no longer be checked via the standalone PIN portal.
- Legacy Apple Store Cards: Older physical Apple Store cards (grey, silver, or gold) can also be checked online or by calling 1-800-MY-APPLE.
How to Check Your Apple Gift Card Balance
Method 1: Check an Unredeemed Gift Card (Online)
- Go to the official Apple Gift Card Balance Checker website on any web browser.
- Click Sign In and log in with your Apple ID (Apple Account).
- Locate the PIN / Code on the back of your card (peel or gently scratch the gray label) or in your digital delivery email.
- Enter the code into the text field and click Check Balance.
Method 2: Check a Redeemed Balance (App Store / Account)
If you have already redeemed your gift card, the funds are stored in your Apple Account.
-
iPhone / iPad:
- Open the App Store app.
- Tap your Profile Icon in the top-right corner.
- Your remaining balance appears directly under your name/email.
-
Mac:
- Open the App Store.
- Click your Name / Profile in the bottom-left sidebar.
- View your balance under your account name.
-
Windows (iTunes):
- Open iTunes.

Troubleshooting & Common Errors
| Issue | Cause | Solution |
| "Invalid Code" | Typing misreadings or formatting errors. | Re-enter carefully; avoid confusing 0 (zero) with O, or 1 with I/L. Do not include spaces. |
| "Card Already Redeemed" | Code was claimed previously. | Check your App Store Account Balance to see if the funds were already added to your Apple ID. |
| "Code Must Be Redeemed in Another Region" | Storefront regional mismatch. | Gift cards are region-locked; your Apple ID region must match the country/currency where the card was purchased. |
| Unreadable / Scratched Code | Physical label damage. | Contact Apple Support with your receipt, serial number, and physical card photos for code replacement. |
Tips If You Encounter Any Issues
- Double-check the gift card code: Ensure there are no extra spaces or typos.
- Double-check the gift card region: Make sure that your gift card and Apple ID are from the same region. It’s not possible to redeem an Apple Gift Card from another region or country to your Apple account.
- If you believe the card was already redeemed or used without your knowledge, contact the seller and Apple Support for assistance. If they cannot assist you with your issue, place your order on hold and open a dispute under the Gameflip Guarantee.
