Canada Post Prepaid Visa

Check via the Canada Post website or call the number on the back of the card.

Store Gift Cards (Tim Hortons, Canadian Tire, etc.)

Each retailer has its own balance check page, usually found in the footer of their website or on the back of the card. The Tim Hortons app and Canadian Tire apps both show card balances after you add the card to your profile.

General Phone Method (Any Card)

Every prepaid card in Canada has a toll-free number on the back. Call this number, navigate the automated menu, and enter your card number. The system will read your current balance. This works without internet access.

At a Retailer (In-Store)

Most major retailers can scan any gift card or prepaid card and tell you the remaining balance. This is a reliable option if you're already in a store.
