Check your balance online or in the app
Five Guys does not offer a dedicated website or app tool to check your gift card balance remotely. Instead, you have two practical options: call the restaurant location directly, or visit in person and ask a staff member to scan the card at the register.
When you call, have your gift card number ready — it's printed on the front of the card. The staff member can look up the balance in their point-of-sale system in seconds. If you prefer to visit, bring the physical card with you; the register will display your remaining balance when they scan it.
Five Guys gift cards do not expire, so there is no rush to use the balance. You can check it whenever you plan to make a purchase, and the balance will remain on the card for as long as you need it.

What to do if you cannot find your card number
The gift card number appears on the front of the card in printed digits. If the number is worn, faded, or difficult to read, visit a Five Guys location in person instead of calling — the staff can scan the card directly and retrieve your balance without needing you to read the number aloud.
If you have lost the physical card entirely, contact the Five Guys location where you plan to use it. They may be able to help you recover the balance if you can provide proof of purchase, such as an email receipt or the original transaction. Since Five Guys restaurants are independently owned franchises, policies vary by location, and there is no may provide a replacement card can be issued.
How Five Guys gift cards work at checkout
When you are ready to spend your balance, hand the card to the cashier before or after ordering. They will scan it at the register, and the system will deduct your purchase from the card balance. If your balance is less than the total, you can pay the difference with another payment method — cash, credit card, or debit card.
If your balance is more than the purchase amount, the remaining balance stays on the card for your next visit. Five Guys does not issue refunds for unused balances, so the money remains tied to that card unless you spend it at a Five Guys location.
Replacing a lost or damaged card
If your card is damaged or lost, visit or call the Five Guys location where you originally purchased it, or any location near you. Bring proof of purchase if you have it — an email receipt, credit card statement, or the original gift receipt. The staff can look up the balance and may be able to transfer it to a new card, though this depends on the individual franchise's policy.
Five Guys corporate does not run a centralized gift card system, so each franchise location manages its own cards. If the original location is no longer open or you cannot reach them, try the Five Guys location closest to you — they may still be able to help, but there is no may provide since each restaurant operates independently.
Understanding Five Guys gift card terms
Five Guys gift cards are issued by individual franchise locations, not by a corporate office. This means the terms and policies can differ slightly from one restaurant to another. Most locations honor cards at any Five Guys in the country, but it is worth confirming this when you purchase or receive a card.
Cards do not expire and do not lose value over time. There are no monthly fees or inactivity charges. The balance is yours to use whenever you choose, and it will remain on the card indefinitely if unused. You own the balance for as long as you hold the card.
