GiftCardMall/MyGift Frequently Asked Questions
How do I check my GiftCardMall/MyGift balance?
Visit www.giftcardmall.com/mygift, enter the 16-digit card number, expiration date and security code (CVV) printed on your card, then submit the form to view your available MyGift balance and recent transactions.
How do I activate my MyGift card?
Most GiftCardMall cards are activated at the register at the time of purchase. If your card carries an activation sticker or instructions, complete them through the official website or the phone number printed on the back of the card, and keep your receipt as proof of purchase.
Why was my card declined when it still has a balance?
Declines usually occur when a purchase exceeds the available balance, when an online merchant cannot verify a billing address, or when a restaurant, hotel or fuel station places a temporary authorization hold. Ask the cashier to charge the exact remaining amount to the card and pay the difference with another method.
Can I use my MyGift card for online purchases?
Yes, at merchants that accept the card network shown on your card. Many online merchants require a billing address, so register your name and ZIP code through giftcardmall.com/mygift where available before shopping online.
What should I do if my card is lost or stolen?
Contact official GiftCardMall support as soon as possible and have your card number and original purchase receipt ready. Replacement of remaining funds is subject to the cardholder agreement.
Does my MyGift card expire?
The card displays a valid-thru date on the front. Review the cardholder agreement included with your card for full details on expiration and any applicable fees.
