What happens if my purchase is less than the card value?

If your purchase total is less than the balance on your gift card, what happens to the leftover amount depends on the merchant’s policy:
Most retailers – Allow the remaining balance to stay on your card for future use until the card expires. You can keep using it until the funds run out.
Some merchants – May issue cards that are single-use only, meaning any unused portion is forfeited once the transaction is complete.
💡 Tip: Always check your card’s terms and conditions to confirm whether partial balances carry over. If your card is single-use, try to match your purchase amount as closely as possible to the card’s value to avoid losing funds.
