Check your Firehouse Subs gift card balance online or by phone

Firehouse Subs lets you look up your gift card balance through their website or by calling their customer service line. You'll need the card number and, depending on the method, the PIN on the back of the card. The online balance checker is the fastest route — you can see your balance in seconds without waiting on hold.

If you don't have access to the internet or prefer to speak with someone, Firehouse Subs customer service can look up your balance over the phone. Have your card ready when you call, and be prepared to provide the full card number printed on the front.

Key Takeaways

  • Visit the Firehouse Subs website and use their gift card balance tool with your card number to check your balance instantly.
  • You can also call Firehouse Subs customer service and provide your card number to have a representative look up your balance.
  • Keep your gift card in a safe place, as lost or stolen cards cannot be replaced without proof of purchase.
  • Your balance does not expire as long as there is money remaining on the card, but some states have laws about dormant card funds.

Using the Firehouse Subs website to check balance

Go to the Firehouse Subs website and look for the gift card section, usually found in the footer or under a "Gift Cards" menu. Click on the balance checker tool and enter your 16-digit card number. You may also need to enter the PIN, which is printed on the back of the card below the magnetic stripe.

After you enter this information, the website will display your current balance. Write down the amount or take a screenshot if you plan to use the card soon. This method works 24 hours a day and does not require you to call during business hours.

Calling Firehouse Subs customer service

If you prefer to speak with a representative, call Firehouse Subs' main customer service number. Have your gift card in front of you before you dial. The representative will ask for your full card number and may ask for the last four digits of the card or the PIN as a security check.

Wait times vary depending on how busy the restaurant is, so calling during off-peak hours (mid-afternoon on a weekday) may get you through faster. The representative will tell you your exact balance and can also answer questions about where to use the card or whether there are any restrictions on it.

What happens if your card is lost or damaged

Firehouse Subs does not replace lost gift cards unless you have proof of purchase, such as a receipt or email confirmation. If you bought the card in person and have the receipt, bring it to the restaurant or call customer service with the receipt number. If you bought it online, check your email for the order confirmation.

If your card is damaged but still readable, most Firehouse Subs locations will swap it for a new card with the same balance at no charge. Bring the damaged card to any restaurant location and ask a manager to help you. If the card is unreadable, you will need proof of purchase to get a replacement.

Gift card balance expiration and state laws

Firehouse Subs gift cards do not have an expiration date on the card itself, meaning you can use the balance whenever you want. However, some states have laws that require businesses to turn over unused gift card funds to the state after a certain period of inactivity — typically three to five years with no transactions.

If you have not used your card in several years, check your balance soon. If the balance has dropped to zero and you did not make those purchases, contact Firehouse Subs customer service to ask whether your funds were turned over to your state's unclaimed property program. You can then contact your state's comptroller or treasurer's office to recover the money.

Using your balance at Firehouse Subs locations

When you are ready to spend your balance, bring your gift card to any Firehouse Subs location. Tell the cashier you are paying with a gift card and hand it over. The cashier will swipe or scan the card, and the balance will be deducted from your purchase.

If your purchase is more than your card balance, you can pay the difference with another payment method — cash, credit card, or debit card. If your purchase is less than your balance, the remaining amount stays on the card for your next visit. You can use the same card multiple times until the balance reaches zero.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I check my balance without the PIN?

The website balance checker may require the PIN printed on the back of your card, but calling customer service usually does not. A representative can look up your balance with just the card number and may ask for the last four digits as a security check instead.

What if the website says my balance is zero but I never used the card?

Contact Firehouse Subs customer service right away with your card number and proof of purchase if you have it. If your card has been inactive for several years, your balance may have been turned over to your state's unclaimed property program. The state comptroller's office can help you recover the funds.

Can I transfer my gift card balance to another card?

Firehouse Subs does not transfer balances between cards. If you want to consolidate multiple cards, you will need to use each card separately at the register. The cashier can process multiple payment methods on one transaction.

Is there a fee for checking my balance?

No. Checking your balance online or by phone is free. Firehouse Subs does not charge fees for balance inquiries, though some locations may charge a small fee if you ask them to look up your balance in person at the register.
