Mark had a habit of forgetting about gift cards. Every year, he’d receive them from friends, family, or work, but by the time he remembered to use them, he’d either lost the card or forgotten how much was left on it.

This time, he was determined not to make the same mistake. He had a Target Prepaid Gift Card, and instead of letting it sit in his wallet unused, he decided to check its balance using MyBalanceNow.

The Problem with Unused Gift Cards

Mark didn’t realize that if he left his gift card unused for too long, he could lose money due to inactivity fees. He had no idea how much was left or if it was even valid anymore.

That’s when he remembered hearing about MyBalanceNow—a simple way to check Target Prepaid Gift Card balances online.

Finding His Balance in Seconds

Mark visited MyBalanceNow and entered his:

• Card number
• Expiration date
• CVV code (found on the back of the card)

Within moments, he saw his exact remaining balance and realized he still had $75 left—money he almost forgot about!

Making the Most of His Gift Card

Since Mark knew exactly how much he could spend, he made a plan to:

• Use the full balance before it expired.
• Avoid leaving small amounts on the card that he might forget about later.
• Combine the card with another payment method for larger purchases.

He used his Target Prepaid Gift Card on essentials like groceries and home supplies, making sure not a single dollar went to waste.

Never Lose Track of Your Balance Again

After this experience, Mark made a habit of checking MyBalanceNow whenever he received a gift card. Now, he never forgets his balance, never loses money to fees, and always makes the most of his prepaid cards.
