How To Check Your Aldi Gift Card Balance
The grocery store Aldi is an American staple to those in the 36 states it serves, with over 2,000 stores. This grocer has come a long way from its first tiny family store in Germany and has kept up with all of the necessary modern changes along the way to bring the best deals and quality products to its customers, such as offering gift cards.

On the back of your Aldi gift card, you’ll see two strings of numbers right above the bar code. The long string of numbers is the gift card number. You’ll actually just need the last 19 digits of the gift card when you look up your balance. The smaller number after it is the four-digit pin. You can visit the Aldi page which helpfully provides a diagram to show you both where these numbers are, and where to input the numbers on the online form provided at the bottom of the page. After inputting the series of numbers, your balance should come up once you click “check your balance” at the bottom of the form. Please note that this function is not available for cards that are “merchandise return” gift cards.

In-Store
If you’re already at the store, with a gift card in hand, but not sure how much you have available to pay with, you can present the card to any cashier, who can look up the balance for you.
Phone
While there is not a dedicated line to call and check a gift-card balance you can go to the website to use the store locator to call your local Aldi’s and possibly speak to a cashier who can look it up for you. They might, however, point you back to the website.
