How to check your Aquarium gift card balance
Every method returns the same balance in real time. The online checker is fastest and works for physical and e-gift cards alike. New to Aquarium cards? See our Aquarium gift card buying guide.
- Go to the Aquarium gift card balance page.
- Enter your card number and the access PIN.
- Select Check Balance. Your current balance shows on screen.
- Call the number above and choose the gift card option.
- Enter your card number and PIN on the keypad when prompted.
- The automated line reads back your current balance.
- Take the card to any Aquarium location.
- Ask an associate to check the balance at the register.
- You can spend the balance in the same visit.
What you'll need
Every method asks for two things off the card:
If the balance looks wrong
- Reads $0 or "card not found." Re-enter the number without spaces and confirm the PIN. A brand-new card can take a few hours to activate.
- Lower than expected. A pending order can hold part of the balance, and recent returns take a few days to post back.
- Bought secondhand. Resale balances aren't guaranteed by Aquarium. Open a claim with the marketplace, not with Aquarium.
Using your remaining balance
Spend a partial balance the same way you'd spend the full card, across as many visits as you like:
- In store: hand over the card or show the e-gift barcode on your phone.
- Online: enter the number and PIN at checkout on landrysinc.com.
Balances don't expire and carry no fees. Cards aren't reloadable, so when one reaches zero, the simplest move is a new card. For every way to spend it, see how to use your Aquarium gift card.
