Gift card balances

Log what is left, check with the retailer, and keep the household on the same number.

The balance lives on the card

When you add a gift card, enter what is left on it. After you spend, update the balance. The number sits on the card instead of in a photo buried in a group chat.

Check with the retailer

CardWarden can open the retailer's own balance checker for supported stores, so you can confirm the amount before you rely on it. The checker is the store's page or flow, not a CardWarden estimate.

Shared cards stay on one number

On a pocket you have shared with Premium Family, a balance update shows up for everyone who has access. That is what stops two people spending the same gift card down to zero. Cards you have not shared do not update anyone else's phone.

Common questions

Does CardWarden know every store's balance automatically?

No. You log the balance. For supported retailers you can also open their balance checker to confirm it.

What if two people share the card?

Share the pocket with Premium Family. A balance update on that card syncs to everyone with access.

Can I see past changes?

Yes. Transaction history on the card shows how the balance moved.

Does this work offline?

You can update the balance offline. It syncs when the connection returns, on Premium Cloud or Premium Family.
