Write the balance down on the back of your card so you don’t forget how much is left on it. If you get an error or a message that reads “Scopes don’t match,” check that you typed the numbers correctly. If you still get an error, try checking your balance over the phone or in person.
Click “Save a new gift card” if you want to add one to your account to order online.

Scratch off the gray strip on the back of your gift card to reveal the card number.

Have the card number and access number ready since you may need to enter them or tell them to the representative.
