- Summon the Account Page: Navigate to the mystical land of "Your Account" (it's usually hidden behind a little dropdown menu or a mysterious avatar).
- Unearth the Gift Card Section: With the courage of Indiana Jones, delve into the depths of your account settings to find the hidden chamber of "Gift Cards & e-Certificates."
- Behold the Treasure! There, bathed in the soft glow of your computer screen, lies the answer to your burning question: your gift card balance in all its glory.

Method 2: The Order Invoice
Did you know? Every Amazon order comes with a receipt (because apparently, even virtual shopping requires a paper trail). This can be your saving grace if the gift card itself is devoid of any clues about its worth (some are just plain shy).
Tip: Skim once, study twice.![]()
- Channel Your Inner Sherlock: Head over to "Your Orders" and unleash your inner detective skills. Find the order for the specific gift card (remember, they usually have a unique order number).
- Crack the Code: Within the order details, you should find a 16-digit serial number whispering sweet nothings about the gift card's value. Compare this number to the one hiding on the back of the physical card (or the email if it's digital) – and voila! The mystery is solved!
Important Note: This method only works for gift cards you purchased yourself, or if you have the original order details. If you received a gift card from a friend who stockpiles packing peanuts for fun (weirdos!), then method 1 is your best bet.
Bonus Round: Contacting Amazon Customer Service (The Last Resort)
Let's be honest, sometimes the thrill of the hunt is just too much. If the previous methods leave you feeling like you've just finished a particularly confusing episode of Lost, then fear not, the Amazon Customer Service cavalry is here to rescue you!
Just a heads up: This might take a bit longer, so grab a cup of coffee (or your beverage of choice) and be prepared to unleash your inner charm offensive.
There you have it, adventurers! With these top-secret techniques, you'll be a master Amazon gift card decoder in no time. Now go forth and conquer that shopping list (or that inflatable T-Rex costume)!
