The Ultimate Guide: How to Add Your Whataburger Gift Card to the App
Whether you've got a physical card or received an e-gift, integrating it with your Whataburger app account is a breeze. Follow these steps to ensure you're ready for your next burger fix with just a few taps.
Step 1: Get Your App Game On (If You Haven't Already!)
Are you ready to transform your Whataburger experience? If you're reading this, chances are you already have the Whataburger app. But if not, this is your very first, crucial step!
Download the Whataburger App:
For iOS Users (iPhone/iPad): Head over to the App Store.
For Android Users: Navigate to the Google Play Store.
Search for "Whataburger" and download the official app. It's free and your gateway to mobile ordering, rewards, and seamless payments.
Create or Log In to Your Account:
Once downloaded, open the app.
If you're a new user, you'll need to create a new account. This usually involves providing your email, setting a password, and perhaps some basic personal information.
If you already have a Whataburger account, simply log in with your existing credentials.
Step 2: Locate Your Gift Card Details
Before you can add your gift card, you'll need to gather the necessary information from it.
For Physical Whataburger Gift Cards:
Find the Card Number: This is typically a 16-digit number located on the back of your physical gift card.
Locate the PIN: You'll also find a 4-digit PIN on the back of the card. This PIN is often hidden under a scratch-off strip for security purposes. Gently scratch this off to reveal the PIN.
For Whataburger E-Gift Cards:
Check Your Email: If you received an e-gift card, the details will be in the email you received.
Identify the Card Number and PIN: The email will contain both the card number and the PIN. Sometimes, there might be a direct link to "Transfer Funds" or "Check Balance" which might also allow you to add it to your account.
Step 3: Navigate to the Payment Section in the App
Now that you have your gift card details handy, it's time to add them to your Whataburger app. The exact navigation might vary slightly between iOS and Android, but the general path is the same.
Open the Whataburger App: Make sure you're logged into your account.
Access the Main Menu:
On iOS devices: Look for a "More" option, usually located in the bottom navigation bar. Tap on it.
On Android devices: Look for the "navigation menu" icon (often three horizontal lines, sometimes called a "hamburger menu") typically located in the top-left corner of the screen. Tap on it.
Select "Payment": Within the "More" or navigation menu, you should see an option labeled "Payment" or "Payment Methods." Tap on this. This section is where you manage all your payment options within the app, including linked credit cards and gift cards.
Step 4: Initiate the Gift Card Transfer
You're almost there! This is where you tell the app you want to add a gift card.
Find the "Transfer Gift Card Balance" Option:
Within the "Payment" section, look for an option that says something like "Transfer Whataburger Gift Card Balance", "Add Gift Card", or "Load Funds with Gift Card."
Do not confuse this with "Reload" if you're trying to add a new gift card. Reload is typically for adding more money to an existing in-app balance.
Tap to Begin the Transfer: Once you've located the correct option, tap on it to proceed.
Step 5: Enter Your Gift Card Information
This is the moment of truth! Accurately input your gift card details.
Input the Gift Card Number:
You'll see a field prompting you to enter the gift card number.
Carefully type in the 16-digit card number from your physical or e-gift card. Double-check for any typos!
Enter the PIN:
Below the card number field, there will be another field for the PIN.
Enter the 4-digit PIN that you found on the back of your physical card (under the scratch-off) or in your e-gift card email.
Confirm and Submit:
Once you've entered both the card number and the PIN, look for a "Confirm", "Add", or "Submit" button.
Tap this button to finalize the transfer.
Step 6: Verify Your Balance and Enjoy!
Congratulations! If all went well, your gift card balance should now be transferred to your Whataburger app account.
Check Your Account Balance:
After the transfer, you should see your Whataburger account balance updated with the amount from your gift card. This balance is now ready to be used for mobile orders.
You can typically view your total balance within the "Payment" section of the app.
Start Ordering!:
Now you can use your new in-app balance to place orders for pickup, curbside, or delivery directly through the Whataburger app. Enjoy the convenience and your delicious Whataburger favorites!
