Check your balance online or by phone

Chick-fil-A lets you see your gift card balance through their website, their mobile app, or by calling customer service. The fastest method is usually the app or website — both show your balance instantly once you enter your card number. If you don't have the card in front of you, you can call Chick-fil-A's customer service line and provide your card details to a representative, though this takes longer.

You'll need your 16-digit gift card number to check the balance any of these ways. The number is printed on the front of the physical card. If you have a digital gift card sent to your email or phone, the number will be in that message.

Key Takeaways

  • The Chick-fil-A website and mobile app show your balance instantly when you enter your card number.
  • You can also call Chick-fil-A customer service and speak to a representative who will look up your balance.
  • In-restaurant staff can check your balance at the register if you bring the physical card with you.
  • Your balance never expires, so you can use the card whenever you want without worrying about a deadline.

Using the Chick-fil-A website

Go to chick-fil-a.com and look for the gift card section, usually found in the main menu or footer. Select the option to check your balance. Enter your 16-digit card number and the security code on the back of the card (a 3 or 4-digit number, depending on when the card was issued). The site will display your current balance immediately.

This method works on any computer or phone with internet access. You don't need to create an account or log in — the balance checker is available to anyone with a card number.

Checking through the mobile app

Download the Chick-fil-A mobile app from the Apple App Store or Google Play. Open the app and navigate to the gift card section. Tap "Check Balance" and enter your 16-digit card number and security code. Your balance appears on screen right away.

The app also lets you add your gift card to your account so the balance is saved and easy to find each time you open the app. This is optional — you can check your balance without saving the card if you prefer.

Calling customer service

Chick-fil-A's customer service team can look up your balance over the phone. Have your 16-digit card number ready when you call. The representative will ask for the number and may ask a security question to confirm you own the card. They'll then tell you your current balance.

This method takes longer than the website or app, but it's useful if you don't have internet access or prefer to speak with someone directly. Wait times vary depending on how busy the line is.

Asking at a restaurant

If you're at a Chick-fil-A location, you can hand your physical card to a crew member at the register and ask them to check the balance. They can scan or manually enter the card number into their system and tell you what's left on it. This is quick and requires no phone or computer.

This option only works if you have the physical card with you. It's most useful if you're already at the restaurant and want to know your balance before ordering.

What to do if your card is lost or damaged

If your physical card is lost or stolen, contact Chick-fil-A customer service right away. They can freeze the card to prevent someone else from using it. If the card is damaged but you still have the number, you can continue using it — the number is what matters, not the physical card itself.

If you lose the card and don't remember the number, customer service may be able to help you recover it if you can provide proof of purchase or other identifying information. The process varies depending on how the card was originally bought.

Gift card balances and expiration

Chick-fil-A gift card balances do not expire. You can use your card whenever you want, even if years pass between purchases. There are no monthly fees or inactivity charges that reduce your balance over time.

Your balance stays the same until you spend it at a Chick-fil-A restaurant or through their delivery partners. Once you use part of the balance, the remaining amount is still yours to use later.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I check my balance without the physical card?

Yes. As long as you have the 16-digit card number and security code, you can check your balance on the website or app without having the card in front of you. If you received a digital gift card by email or text, use the number from that message.

What if I forgot my card number?

Call Chick-fil-A customer service and explain that you've lost your card number. They may ask for information about when and where you bought the card, or other details to confirm you own it. If they can verify your identity, they can look up the number for you.

Does my balance expire?

No. Chick-fil-A gift cards have no expiration date. Your balance remains available to use whenever you want, and there are no fees that reduce it over time.

Can I check my balance at any Chick-fil-A location?

Yes. Any Chick-fil-A restaurant can check your balance at the register if you bring your card or provide the card number. You don't need to go to the location where you originally bought the card.

What if the website or app shows a different balance than the restaurant?

This is rare, but if it happens, the restaurant's system is usually more current because it processes transactions in real time. Ask the crew member to check the balance again, or contact customer service to report the discrepancy.
