You can not check the balance without adding it to acct
I thought this would be a good gift idea for my children who spend half their time with me and half with their dad across the country. But not only does it not tell th the amount...to find out the balance on the card the card needs to be loaded onto an Amazon acct. Kinda defeats the purpose to be able to use it at either of our homes let alone if they wanted to order a parent a gift since it needs loaded to the acct where they are. I wanted to like this gifting idea Amazon but it's a lousy policy.
