Frequently Asked Questions

How do I check my MyBalanceNow card balance?

Visit mybalancenow.com and enter your 16-digit card number along with the 3-digit security code (CVV) found on the back of your card. You can also call the customer service number printed on your card.

Can I use Vanilla gift cards for online purchases?

Yes, but you must first register your Vanilla gift card at vanillagift.com with your name and billing address. This enables online, phone, and mail-order purchases where you need to provide billing information.

Do gift cards expire?

Most retail gift cards (Amazon, Target, Walmart) never expire. Prepaid cards like Visa and Mastercard typically expire after 2-5 years, but funds don't disappear - you can usually get a replacement card.

Are there fees associated with gift cards?

Retail gift cards typically have no fees. Prepaid cards may have activation fees at purchase ($3-6) and monthly maintenance fees after 12 months of inactivity. Always check the terms and conditions.

What should I do if my gift card is lost or stolen?

Contact the card issuer immediately. If you have the card number and proof of purchase, many issuers can freeze the card and issue a replacement. This is why it's important to keep your receipt and record card numbers.

Can I get cash back from a gift card?

Generally, no. Gift cards cannot be redeemed for cash unless required by state law (usually only for small balances under $10). However, you can sell gift cards to third-party buyers, though at a discount.

Security Warning

Never give gift card information to anyone who calls, emails, or texts you asking for it. Legitimate companies will never ask for gift card numbers as payment. Gift card scams are common - always verify requests independently.
