This detailed guide will walk you through the process of redeeming your Binance gift card to see its value on both the Binance website and mobile app.
We’ll also cover essential details about how these balances work and answer common questions for intermediate and advanced users.
A Crucial Note on “Checking the Balance”
For security reasons, Binance does not offer a public feature to check the monetary balance of an unredeemed gift card without logging in and starting the redemption process. The “balance” is the face value of the card itself. The process described below is how you claim that value, which in turn reveals and adds the balance to your account. You can, however, check a card’s status (e.g., if it has been redeemed) in your account’s Gift Card History if you were the one who created it.
How to Redeem Your Binance Gift Card (and Check its Value)
Redeeming your gift card is the definitive way to access its value. The funds are instantly credited to your account with zero fees. Before you begin, ensure you have the 16-digit redemption code from your gift card.
On the Binance Website (Desktop)
Follow these steps to redeem your gift card using a desktop browser:
1. Log In to Your Binance Account: with your credentials. You must have a verified account.
2. Navigate to the Gift Card Section:
-
- Hover over “More” in the top navigation menu and click on “Gift Card” under the “Finance” or “Trade” section.
- it’s also often found by scrolling to the footer of the homepage and clicking the “Gift Card” link under the “Products” or similar section
4. Initiate Redemption: On the Gift Card page, locate and click the “Redeem” button.
5. Enter the Redemption Code: A field will appear prompting you to enter your 16-digit gift card code. Carefully type or paste the code.
6. Complete the Redemption: Click the “Redeem” button. The system will process the card, and the full value will be instantly credited to your Funding Wallet. A confirmation message will display the amount and type of cryptocurrency added to your account.
Via the Binance Mobile App
The process is just as straightforward on the Binance mobile app for iOS or Android.

Understanding Your Balance & Key Details for Binance Gift Cards
Once you’ve redeemed your card, the value is no longer tied to the gift card code but is now part of your main Binance account balance. Here are some critical points:
- Wallet Destination: Funds go to your Funding Wallet by default. You can transfer them to your Spot Wallet for free.
- Instant and Full Redemption: Binance gift cards must be redeemed for their full value. Partial redemptions are not supported.
- Zero Redemption Fees: No fees are applied when redeeming gift cards.
- Security is Paramount: Treat your 16-digit code like cash. Redeem it only on the official Binance platform.
- Post-Redemption Flexibility: Once redeemed, the crypto can be traded, used with Binance Pay, or withdrawn to an external wallet (network fees apply).
Special Note for ARPAY Binance Gift Cards
If you’re using Binance Gift Cards purchased from ARPAY, here are some important tips:
- Verify account requirements first: Ensure your Binance account is fully verified (KYC completed) before purchasing from ARPAY, as unverified accounts cannot redeem gift cards. ARPAY cannot process refunds for cards that cannot be redeemed due to verification issues.
- Preserve your ARPAY purchase records: Save your email confirmation, transaction ID, and any screenshots from ARPAY. These serve as essential proof of purchase if you encounter redemption issues or need customer support assistance.
- Check expiration dates immediately: Binance gift cards may expire after 6 months (for cards created after April 10, 2024). Note the creation date in your ARPAY purchase email and redeem promptly to avoid losing value.
- Verify code format: ARPAY Binance gift cards use the standard 16-digit format. If your code appears incomplete, damaged, or in a different format, contact ARPAY support immediately before attempting redemption.
- Understand cryptocurrency type: ARPAY clearly specifies which cryptocurrency (USDT, BTC, ETH, etc.) your gift card contains. Make sure this matches your intended use before purchase, as you cannot change the crypto type after redemption.
