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 Columbia Sportswear. Open a claim with the marketplace, not with Columbia Sportswear.
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 columbia.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 Columbia Sportswear gift card.
