Or, get your McDonald’s gift card balance by calling customer service at (1866) 511-1863. You can check your McDonald’s gift card balance online. How Do I Check The Balance On My Mcdonalds Gift Card In Canada?

To check gift card balance, you will need the card number and, if applicable, the PIN or security code located on the back of the card.

I have about ten different Arch Card designs, half of which have never been activated. All Chase Paymentech cards use 1-80 for balance inquiry. Card PIN, if present, is 4 digits.Ĭhase Paymentech gift cards are 19 digit card numbers beginning with 603571, followed by 6 digit merchant ID (note: some chains have more than one merchant ID), 6 digit sequential PAN, and checksum. The first 10 digits identify issuer and merchant, followed by 8 digit sequential PAN, and checksum. Some Ceridian/SV cards are identifiable by a 19-digit number that begins with 600649, or an issue number with the "SV" notation. They are not shared across merchants, and newer cards with recent "copyright" years tend to have higher numbers. Each new design has its own number, and some designs span multiple numbers. ValueLink cards can have an optional 8-digit card PIN which can be used for online access.įrom what I've seen, the number after the "VL" is a sequential increasing series number that indicates a card printing batch. There are no additional verification data on the strip. The card number on the ISO format magnetic strip is slightly different and contains additional numbers to identify the merchant the card belongs to. The first 12 digits are sequential, then 3 digits worth of entropy and a Luhn checksum on the last digit. ValueLink cards have an issue number printed on the card with a "VL" notation and typically have a 16 digit card number beginning with 6. Most stored value cards are made by either ValueLink (a First Data company), Ceridian () or Chase Paymentech (JPMorgan Chase). Wonder what that means? Here's a brief overview of the stored value world: The "VL10243" is a series number that indicates the Arch Card is a First Data ValueLink gift card. In another post, I'll explain the UPromise partnership and give you an overview of other "scrip" programs. The UPromise logo indicates McDonald's participation in the UPromise college savings program.
