How it works

Three steps. About ten seconds.

No account creation, no email collection. Just your card.

  1. 01

    Enter your card

    Type the 16-digit number, the expiry date and the CVV from the back of your gift card. Your card preview updates as you type.

  2. 02

    We check it instantly

    Your card is encrypted in transit, sent to the issuer, and validated. No account, no email, no waiting.

  3. 03

    See your balance

    Available balance, status and last transactions — all on one screen. Nothing is stored unencrypted.

Frequently asked

Questions, answered.

Yes. Your card number and CVV are encrypted with AES-256-GCM the moment they hit our servers — they are never stored in plaintext, and we redact them from every log.

No. There are no usernames, passwords, or emails. You enter your card details and we show your balance — that's it.

Any major Vanilla-branded prepaid gift card. If your card has a 16-digit number, an expiry date, and a CVV/CV2 on the back, you can check it here.

Sessions expire after 15 minutes of inactivity. After that you re-enter your card details — by design, so an unattended browser tab cannot stay logged in indefinitely.

Most checks complete in 10–30 seconds. We query the issuer in real time, so the number you see is the same number the issuer would tell you on the phone.
