See your Macy's balance online
- Open the official Macy's gift card balance page (button above).
- Enter the card number printed on your card.
- Enter the PIN or security code (usually under a scratch-off panel on the back).
- Submit to see your current balance instantly.
What you’ll need
- Card number — printed on a physical Macy's card, or in the email for an eGift card.
- PIN / security code — typically a separate code on the back of the card.
Other ways to check
- In store: take the card to any Macy's location and ask an associate to scan it — there’s no charge to check.
- By phone: call Macy's 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.
My Macy's card shows $0 — what now?
Most $0 balances mean the card has been redeemed already, often in a partial purchase you forgot about. Cross-check your recent orders. If the card was never used and still reads zero, that points to an activation issue at the register — keep your receipt and reach out to Macy's support, since they can look up the activation log and restore funds if the card was sold but never activated.
How swapping a Macy's 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:
- 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.
- Pick brands you’d accept — the more brands you’re open to, the faster you match. Popular brands trade close to face value.
- Get matched and verified — once we pair you with someone who wants your Macy's card and has a card you want, our system verifies both balances before any codes change hands.
- Receive your new card — codes are released to both sides simultaneously, with a 48-hour dispute window for protection.

Macy's gift card balance — FAQ
Can I check my Macy's balance without the PIN?
The online checker usually needs both the card number and PIN. Without the PIN, check your balance in store or by contacting Macy's customer service.
Is checking my Macy's gift card balance free?
Yes. Checking your balance online, by phone, or in store is always free — Macy's never charges to look up a gift card balance.
Can I combine multiple Macy's gift cards?
Macy's usually lets you apply more than one gift card to a single order at checkout. The exact limit depends on the platform (online vs. in store) — if a card isn’t accepted at the register, try splitting payment online instead.
What should I do if my Macy's gift card is lost or stolen?
If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact Macy's customer service as soon as possible. Without a receipt or registration, gift cards generally cannot be replaced — treat them like cash and record the number and PIN somewhere safe right after purchase.
Can I get cash back for a Macy's gift card?
Most U.S. states don’t require Macy's to redeem gift cards for cash unless the remaining balance falls below a small threshold (often $5–$10). To recover the full value of an unwanted card, swapping it for a different gift card you’ll spend is usually a better deal than trying for a cash refund.
Can I reload my Macy's gift card?
Some Macy's gift cards can be reloaded online or in store, others can’t — it depends on the program. Check the card’s terms or the Macy's site to confirm whether your card supports reload.
What can I do with a Macy's gift card I don’t want?
You can swap it on FlipGift for a gift card you’ll actually use — peer-to-peer, with no fees or commissions — instead of letting the balance go to waste.
