• Visit the retailer’s website (if applicable)
• Call the phone number on the back of the card
• Check your receipt for balance details
• Ask a cashier in-store to check

Use notes, apps, or a spreadsheet to track balance and avoid losing money from inactivity or forgetfulness.

Delays in transaction posting, expired cards, or unauthorized use can cause discrepancies. Keep receipts and record usage.
