So you got yourself an Xbox gift card and you’re probably wondering what’s left on it before diving into your next game or picking up some cool add-ons. Checking the balance doesn’t need to be a mystery. Whether you’re more of a browser person or live on your console, you can get it done quickly.
Let’s break it down in a super simple way so you don’t get stuck poking around random menus.
How to check Xbox gift card balance
There’s two main ways to do this — either through the Microsoft website or straight from your Xbox console. Both are easy if you know where to click or go.
Online method – check through the Microsoft website
- Head over to the Microsoft site and sign in with your Microsoft account
- After signing in, go to the Payment & billing section
- From there, click on Payment options
- You’ll see the balance right under your Microsoft account tile
This is the fastest way if you’re already on your laptop or phone and just wanna get a quick look at what’s left
Console method – check on your Xbox console
- Press the Xbox button on your controller to open the guide
- Navigate to Profile & system, then go into Settings
- From Settings, select Account
- Choose Payment & billing, then go to Payment options
- Your balance will appear under your Microsoft account
This works great if you’re already chilling on your console and want to check it real fast before buying anything
Why balances matter & notes for ARPAY cards
Knowing your Xbox gift card balance helps you avoid that annoying surprise of not having enough to cover what you want. Imagine picking a game or bundle, only to find out you’re a few cents short — not fun.
When you buy a digital gift card from ARPAY, make sure it’s fully redeemed and linked to your Microsoft account before checking the balance. If anything seems off, double-check the code or make sure you redeemed it under the correct account. That’s where people sometimes slip without noticing
And remember, ARPAY cards are meant for digital use only. Once you’ve redeemed it, it gets tied to that Microsoft account. You can’t reuse the code or move it around. So always be sure you’re logged into the right place before redeeming
