Check your Hotels.com gift card balance online

1. Open the official Hotels.com balance page (button above).
2. Enter your gift card or credit number and any security/PIN code requested.
3. Submit the form to see your current balance and, where applicable, any expiration date.

What you’ll need

• Your Hotels.com gift card number (or eCredit / confirmation number).
• The PIN or security code, if one was issued with your card.

Other ways to check

• In store: take the card to any Hotels.com location and ask an associate to scan it — there’s no charge to check.
• By phone: call Hotels.com customer service and follow the prompts for gift card balance, with your card number ready.
• Keep your receipt: the balance is often printed on your receipt after a purchase.

Balance not showing?

• Double-check the numbers — re-enter the card number and PIN exactly as printed; a single wrong digit is the most common cause.
• Newly bought card? It can take a few hours to activate after purchase. Try again later.
• Still stuck? Reach out to customer service with the card in hand, or ask an associate to scan it in store.

What if your Hotels.com balance shows $0?

A zero balance usually means one of three things: the card has already been spent, the funds were applied at a recent checkout, or the card was never activated at point of sale. Check your purchase history with Hotels.com to confirm the last transaction. If you bought the card recently and never used it, keep the receipt and contact Hotels.com customer service — they can trace activation and reissue if needed.

How swapping a Hotels.com gift card on FlipGift works

If the balance you just checked is a card you won’t use, here’s the short version of the swap process:

1. List your card — enter the brand, face value, and the gift card code. We encrypt the code with AES-256 before storage; only verified counterparties ever see it.
2. Pick brands you’d accept — the more brands you’re open to, the faster you match. Popular brands trade close to face value.
3. Get matched and verified — once we pair you with someone who wants your Hotels.com card and has a card you want, our system verifies both balances before any codes change hands.
4. Receive your new card — codes are released to both sides simultaneously, with a 48-hour dispute window for protection.
