About the Best Buy Canada gift card
Best Buy Canada gift cards are issued by Best Buy Canada Ltd. and are usable at any Canadian Best Buy retail store or on bestbuy.ca. They come in physical and eGift formats and in a variety of fixed denominations as well as custom amounts (often $25 to $500).

How to check your balance
The official balance-check page is on Best Buy Canada's own website. Always verify you're on the bestbuy.ca domain — never a similar-looking lookalike.

You can also ask any cashier at a Best Buy Canada store to check the balance for you.
