Is there a safe way to check the purchases and balance on a gift card?

I have two rebate Visa cards: one from buying tires and another from a discount deal at Safeway. I need to check the purchases and balances on both cards.

The Safeway card has a number but doesn’t provide any purchase history. The Bridgestone card lacks both balance and purchase history information.

They’ve been sitting unused for months, and while the Bridgestone card indicates that the balance is zero, I don’t recall using it up.

Are the websites that check gift card balances safe to use?

The card issuer provides a website or phone number where you can review your transaction history. Use these resources to check your transactions.

hi purchasers to be on the safe side
When checking your balance online or over the phone, ensure that you’re on a secure website or using the official customer service number. Never disclose your gift card number or security code to anyone you don’t trust.
