How balance checks work
The same three steps for every brand — only the place you check changes.
Find the number
Turn the card over. You need the card number and, for most brands, the PIN or security code under the scratch-off panel.
Check online, by phone or in store
Every guide lists only the methods that work for that brand: the brand’s website, the toll-free number on the back, a register, or the brand’s own app.
Track it in The Wallet Station app
Add the card once and the wallet keeps the balance, the check history and a reminder before anything expires.
Stop checking the same card twice
The Wallet Station keeps every card, its last known balance and the history of every check in one wallet — with a nudge before a balance expires.
