A quick look at what MyGift does
MyGift is the place cardholders turn to when they want to know how much value is still sitting on a prepaid Visa or Mastercard gift card issued through Giftcardmall. That number matters, because a gift card acts like cash: when the funds are gone, the next payment is simply refused.
For an instant reading, open the mygift Balance page and type in the details printed on your card. Keep the card beside you, since you will need the card number, the expiry date and the security code.
Why checking often pays off
Most people spend part of a gift card and then lose track of the rest. A short check before you shop shows whether the card can cover the whole bill or whether you should pair it with another payment method. A second check afterward confirms the right amount was taken.
Cards can also lose value when they sit untouched for a long time, depending on their terms, so a regular look keeps small amounts from vanishing.
Handle it from your own seat
There is no need to queue in a shop or wait on a phone line. With the card in one hand and a laptop or phone in front of you, both jobs covered here, checking a balance and switching on a new card, fit into a single sitting.
- Pick a quiet moment so you can enter the digits slowly.
- Read the number back once before you submit it.
- Save the result for comparison after your next purchase.
