CARD NUMBER AND PIN

Indigo Gift Card Number Requirements

Indigo documents a 19- or 20-digit numeric card number and a numeric PIN.

  • Card number: 19 or 20 digits.
  • The card number commonly begins with the Indigo 604-series numbering.
  • PIN: numeric and up to six digits.
  • Remove spaces and dashes before entering the number.
  • Omit a separate 11-digit third-party prefix when one is displayed.

Different genuine layouts can exist

Older cards, third-party packaging and eGift deliveries may place the number and PIN differently. Use Indigo support when the card is genuine but the official checker does not accept the visible layout.

COMMON PROBLEMS

Indigo Gift Card Balance Troubleshooting

Most errors come from entering the wrong number or including extra characters.

The number is rejected

Confirm that you entered the 19- or 20-digit Indigo number without spaces or dashes.

A third-party card has two numbers

Omit the separate 11-digit prefix and use the Indigo card number identified on the card.

The PIN is unreadable

Keep the card and proof of purchase and contact Indigo support rather than guessing repeatedly.

Review recent purchases and contact Indigo when the result does not match your records.
