CARD DETAILS
Where to Find the Best Buy Card Number and PIN
Best Buy Canada gift cards use a 16-digit numeric card number and a separate 4-digit numeric PIN.
- On a physical card, look on the back for the card number and PIN area; the PIN may be under a protective scratch-off strip.
- For an eGift Card, open the original delivery email and locate the card number and PIN in the digital card details.
- Do not enter a BestBuy.ca order number, receipt number, product SKU, serial number, or payment-card security code.
Use a Best Buy-branded card
Best Buy sells many third-party, prepaid, gaming, and currency cards. Those products use the issuer’s own balance or redemption system. The BestBuy.ca checker is for Best Buy Canada Gift Cards and eGift Cards.
COMMON PROBLEMS
Best Buy Gift Card Balance Troubleshooting
Try these Best Buy Canada-specific checks before assuming the card has no remaining value.
The online checker does not load
The BestBuy.ca balance tool requires JavaScript. Enable JavaScript, try another browser, disable a conflicting privacy extension, or use the in-store or phone option.
The card number or PIN is rejected
Re-enter the 16-digit card number and 4-digit PIN without extra spaces. Make sure you are using a Best Buy-branded gift card rather than a third-party card purchased at Best Buy.
The card is lost, stolen, or damaged
Best Buy Canada directs customers to call 1-866-237-8289. Keep valid proof of purchase because replacement depends on confirming the remaining balance.
You have several Best Buy cards
Best Buy Canada says a store associate can combine balances from multiple Best Buy gift cards onto one card. Bring the cards to a Canadian store for help.
STILL HAVE AN UNUSED BALANCE?
Don't plan to use your Best Buy gift card?
Submit the card for a verification-first review and receive a non-binding offer when the brand and balance are eligible.
