See your World Market balance online

  1. Open the official World Market gift card balance page (button above).
  2. Enter the card number printed on your card.
  3. Enter the PIN or security code (usually under a scratch-off panel on the back).
  4. Submit to see your current balance instantly.

What you’ll need

  • Card number — printed on a physical World Market 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 World Market location and ask an associate to scan it — there’s no charge to check.
  • By phone: call World Market 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 World Market 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 World Market support, since they can look up the activation log and restore funds if the card was sold but never activated.

How swapping a World Market 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 World Market 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.

World Market gift card balance — FAQ

Can I check my World Market 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 World Market customer service.

Is checking my World Market gift card balance free?

Yes. Checking your balance online, by phone, or in store is always free — World Market never charges to look up a gift card balance.

Can I combine multiple World Market gift cards?

World Market 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 World Market gift card is lost or stolen?

If you registered the card or have the original receipt, contact World Market 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 World Market gift card?

Most U.S. states don’t require World Market 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 World Market gift card?

Some World Market gift cards can be reloaded online or in store, others can’t — it depends on the program. Check the card’s terms or the World Market site to confirm whether your card supports reload.

What can I do with a World Market 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.
