PRO
Pre-activation check
On a gift card check for any supported brand, GiftVeri sends a pre-query to that brand official API and reads whether the card status in the response bytes is empty. An empty status means the card is not activated or not enabled, and GiftVeri does not send the balance query. A non-empty status means the card already holds data, so GiftVeri continues the balance query and returns the balance and other details the brand sends. The check is read-only and does not affect later reloading of the card.
PRO batch check

Import a whole batch and keep checking. Watch the task, then copy or export the results.

Questions
From buying a card to checking the balance
The same questions as the brand directory: identify the card, check the balance, use or redeem it, and what to do about a problem or a scam.
Buying and identifying the card
How do I tell a store gift card from a Visa or Mastercard prepaid card?
Look at the brand mark on the card. A card that shows only the store brand, such as Target GiftCard, is a store gift card. A card that shows Visa, Mastercard or American Express is a payment-network prepaid card. A GiftVeri brand entry checks that store gift card. Do not put a prepaid card into a store brand check.
I bought a Visa card at Walmart or Target. Can I check it as that store gift card?
No. The issuer printed on the card decides which check to use. The Walmart and Target entries in GiftVeri do not accept that kind of Visa or Mastercard prepaid card. Follow the issuer named on the back.
Checking a balance
How do I check one gift card balance?
Check it in the GiftVeri client. Free checks one gift card balance and status. Choose Apple or the brand printed on the card, then enter the card number and PIN. The fields for each brand are in the list below. When there are many cards, PRO can batch-import, stop and resume, and export CSV.
Where are the card number and PIN?
On a physical card the PIN is usually under the scratch-off film on the back, and the number is printed on the front or the back. On a digital gift card the number and PIN are in the original delivery email. Enter them in GiftVeri as printed. Do not drop digits or add zeros.
There is no amount in the result. Is the card invalid?
Not necessarily. GiftVeri marks a failed sign-in, a connection error and an unknown result on their own. They are not treated as $0 or as an invalid card. The PRO pre-activation check is for a gift card check on any supported brand: an empty card status from the pre-query means the card is not activated or not enabled, and the balance query is not sent. The check is read-only and does not affect a later reload.
Using and redeeming
An Apple gift card says the region does not match. What should I do?
An Apple gift card can be used only in the country or region where it was bought. A dollar price does not make it a US card. In GiftVeri, switch to the country on the purchase receipt and check again. Changing the page language does not change the card region.
Is checking a balance the same as redeeming the card into an account?
No. A GiftVeri check only reads the balance. The money stays on the card and can still be used in a store. Redeeming into an account moves the balance off the card. Do not use that as another way to check.
Problems and scams
The card shows $0 and I never used it. What now?
First see whether GiftVeri marked an explicit $0, or a failure, or an unknown result. A failure and an unknown result do not mean the card was spent. After you confirm it is $0, contact the seller through the place you bought it, and keep the receipt.
The card says invalid or not activated. Why?
First see whether GiftVeri shows not activated, or a connection failure. A connection failure is not an empty status. On a gift card check for any supported brand, the PRO pre-activation check treats only an empty pre-query status as not activated or not enabled, and then does not check the balance.
Someone told me to pay with a gift card or to read the number out. Is that a scam?
Yes. Tax offices, customs, support desks, utilities and law enforcement do not ask you to pay with a gift card or to read out a PIN. Check the balance yourself in GiftVeri. Do not read the card number and PIN to a caller or to a text message.
