Quick Answer: How to Check Your Amex Gift Card Balance Fast

There are two quick ways to check your amexgiftcard balance right now: online through the official American Express website, or by phone using the customer service number printed on the back of your card. Both take about a minute, and you will find exact steps for each below.

Before you start, grab your card and locate three things:
