How can I check my Amazon Gift Card balance?

May 04, 2026

An Amazon Gift Card is a simple, thoughtful way to give someone you love access to millions of products on Amazon.ca. Canadians appreciate the convenience of Amazon Canada, using the online platform to shop for electronics, books, clothing, home essentials, and more! Whether you've just received one as a gift or have already used it once and want to see your Amazon gift card balance, it's easy to check before placing your next order. 

Knowing exactly how much you have available helps you plan future purchases and avoid any unexpected moments at checkout. In this blog, you'll find out where you can check your balance on an Amazon Gift Card, how to do it step by step, and what you'll need to have ready.

How to check your Amazon Gift Card balance

To check an Amazon Gift Card balance, you’ll need to go online and visit the official Amazon Canada website at www.amazon.ca. Unlike some other gift cards, the Amazon Gift Card balance is tied directly to your Amazon account. This happens once the code has been redeemed. That way, you don't need to find and enter the code every time you check its status. Instead, you simply sign in to your account and navigate to the gift card section to see your current balance.

It's also worth noting that your Amazon Gift Card balance is visible automatically during the checkout process. Every time you go to pay for an order, the available credit on your account is displayed, so you always have a clear picture of how much you have left without needing to check separately. If you've received multiple Amazon Gift Cards over time, all redeemed balances are combined into a single total, making it easy to keep track of everything in one place.

How do you check the balance on an Amazon Gift Card online?

Checking your Amazon Gift Card balance online is quick and easy! Here's how to do it:

  1. Go to www.amazon.ca.
  2. Sign in to your Amazon account.
  3. In the top right corner, hover over "Account & Lists" and click on "Your Account."
  4. Scroll down to the "Gift cards" section and click on it.
  5. Your current balance will be displayed on this page.

If you haven't redeemed your Amazon Canada gift card code yet, click "Redeem a gift card." On the same page, you can enter your claim code and click "Apply to your balance." The value is added to your account immediately. From that point on, the balance is applied automatically at checkout, so there's nothing extra you need to do when placing an order.

The process works exactly the same way on the Amazon app:

  1. Open the app.
  2. Go to your account settings.
  3. Navigate to the gift card section
  4. Your balance will be shown there.

The app and website are fully synced, so your balance is always up to date on both.

What is needed to check the balance on an Amazon Gift Card?

Before checking your Amazon Gift Card balance, it helps to have a few things ready to go:

  • An Amazon account. Your gift card balance is linked to your personal Amazon account, so you'll need to be signed in to view it. If you don't have one yet, you can create a free account at www.amazon.ca in just a few minutes using an email address and password.
     
  • Your gift card claim code (if you haven't redeemed it yet). This is the unique alphanumeric code found in your confirmation email. You'll only need to enter the code once to add the balance to your account. It's worth keeping your confirmation email stored safely until the code has been redeemed.
     
  • A device with internet access. Whether you're on a phone, tablet, or computer, you'll need access to www.amazon.ca or the Amazon app. Both work equally well, so you can use whichever is most convenient

Once the code has been redeemed, your balance will always appear automatically at checkout on Amazon Canada, making it straightforward to keep track of your remaining Amazon Gift Card balance with every purchase.
