CARD DETAILS

Where to Find the Sobeys Card Number and PIN

The online checker uses a 16-digit gift-card number and a separate 4-digit PIN.

  • Enter all 16 digits without spaces.
  • Find the 4-digit PIN beneath the scratch-off foil.
  • Scratch carefully so the PIN digits are not damaged.
  • Do not use a receipt number, barcode number or payment-card code.

Cards without a PIN

The Sobeys checker directs customers whose card has no PIN to visit a store for a balance check.

COMMON PROBLEMS

Sobeys Gift Card Balance Troubleshooting

Try these Sobeys-specific checks before assuming the card has no remaining value.

The card number is rejected

Confirm that you entered all 16 digits and removed every space between the numbers.

The PIN does not work

Re-enter the 4-digit PIN carefully. Too many incorrect PIN attempts can lock the card.

The PIN was damaged

Stop scratching if the digits are becoming difficult to read and contact Sobeys customer service or visit a store.

The card has no PIN

Bring the card to a Sobeys store and request a balance check at customer service or the checkout.
