How to Check How Much Is Left on a Visa Gift Card
Visa gift cards are more flexible that traditional gift cards because they can be spent at a variety of stores instead of just the one that issued the card. However, keeping track of the current balance of the card can get tricky when you are running from one store to another. You can check how much is left on your Visa gift card at any time with a few quick steps.

I don't remember my ID or password, and there is no way online to retrieve this. Calling the number on the back for 2 months now, and always a busy signal. I will never give one of these "gift" cards to anyone!

I agree with Anna. I have never endured such a run-around in my life. I don't even care anymore how much is on the blasted thing.
