How to check your Taco Bell gift card balance
According to Taco Bell’s gift card FAQ, you can check your balance:
- Online at tacobell.com/gift-cards (scroll to the balance check and enter the card number and PIN).
- By phone using the number on the back of your card.
- In the Taco Bell app, where the balance is shown once you register the card in your account.
How to use a Taco Bell eGift card
- Download the Taco Bell app (iOS or Android) and sign in.
- Add the eGift card to your account using the card number and PIN from your email. Type them in manually rather than copying and pasting if the app rejects them.
- Choose the gift card as your payment method when you order for pickup or delivery in the app or on tacobell.com.
Physical gift cards can be used at participating Taco Bell restaurants as well as added to the app.
Why you should register your card
Taco Bell’s card terms say the unused value of lost, stolen or damaged cards can be replaced if the card is registered and you have proof of purchase. Registering takes a minute in the app and protects your balance.
eGift card didn’t arrive?
Taco Bell notes that eGift card emails are sometimes caught by spam filters. Check your spam or junk folder first. If it still hasn’t arrived, Taco Bell’s FAQ directs buyers to contact its gift card provider by email at tacobell@wgiftcard.com.
Good to know
- No fees and no expiration: Taco Bell says its gift cards and eGift cards have no fees and the value never expires.
- Purchases are final: gift card activations are final and Taco Bell does not offer refunds or returns on gift cards.
- Buying limits online: tacobell.com limits each order to 10 cards of up to $100 each. Larger corporate orders go through a separate bulk ordering site.
- Cash back: some cards may be eligible for cash redemption where state law requires it; Taco Bell handles this through its gift card website.
Keep your gift card balance safe
- Only check your balance on the official website, app or receipt. Search results and pop-up ads sometimes lead to look-alike “balance checker” pages that copy your card number and PIN and drain the card.
- Never read your card number or PIN to someone who calls, texts or emails you. The FTC warns that anyone who demands payment in gift cards is a scammer.
- Keep the receipt until the card is used up. It proves the card was activated and helps if the balance looks wrong.
- Inspect physical cards before you buy them. If the PIN area has been scratched or the packaging looks resealed, choose a different card.
