Getting the most from gift cards

Gift cards are easy to forget once they are partly used. Keeping every balance in one list makes it obvious how much you can spend at each store.

When paying, cashiers can usually split a purchase across several gift cards and then take the rest by card or cash. The planner shows the exact amount to charge to each card.

Expiring first

Avoid losing value to expiry.

Smallest first

Clear out small leftover balances.

Largest first

Use as few cards as possible.

Gift card tracker FAQ

Is it safe to store my gift cards here?

Everything stays in your browser on this device; nothing is uploaded. Even so, do not enter full card numbers or PINs. A label like the last 4 digits is enough to tell cards apart.

How does the payment planner choose cards?

It uses cards for the store you choose, in the order you pick: expiring soonest first, smallest balance first to clear cards, or largest first to use fewer cards.

Can I move my cards to another device?

Yes. Download a JSON backup and import it on the other device.

Why does the balance here differ from the store?

Some cards lose value through fees or have purchases you did not record. Check the balance with the retailer and update it here.

Do gift cards expire?

Rules vary by country and state. Many places protect gift cards from expiring for several years, but promotional cards often expire quickly. Add the date printed on the card.
