What Kinds of Gift Cards Does Burger King Offer?

There are two types of gift card available from Burger King:

  1. eGift card
  2. Crown Card gift card

eGift Card

An eGift card can be bought on the Burger King website and through selected merchants in predetermined denominations of:

  • $25
  • $50
  • $75
  • $100
  • $125

The buyer can also choose a customized amount in dollar increments between $5 and $500.

It is not reloadable, and you can redeem its value by showing the 16-digit code to any Burger King cashier as you check out.

Crown Card Gift Card

The BK Crown Card is a reloadable plastic card that can be delivered to the recipient by mail.

You can buy it in the same denominations as an eGift card and redeem it by showing it at checkout in any Burger King outlet or online.

Reloading your Crown Card is easily done online or in-store.

How Do I Check the Balance on My Burger King Gift Card?

You can check your Burger King eGift card or Crown Card balance using the following methods:

Checking MethodExplanation
By phoneCall 1-866-394-2493 and quote your 16-digit card number to get your current balance
OnlineYour card balance is available online. Enter your card number, and your remaining balance will be displayed and emailed to you

Once you know how much money you still have on your card, you can choose what to do with it.

What Can You Do With the Balance on Your Burger King Gift Card?

If you have money left on your Burger King gift card, you have several options to use it:

  1. Spend or reload it
  2. Sell or exchange your card
  3. Get cash back

Spend or Reload It

The simplest option is to spend the remaining balance in a Burger King outlet or by placing an online order. You can also use your Burger King balance to pay for delivery services like DoorDash.

If you have a Crown Card, you can reload it if funds are running low.

Sell or Exchange Your Card

There are ways to sell or exchange unwanted gift cards for cash using the following services:

  • Card exchanges will swap your used gift card for another card of similar value
  • Several websites will offer to buy your Burger King gift card for cash and then resell it at a profit
  • You can find kiosks in many grocery stores that will make you an cash offer for your Burger King gift card

All these options are businesses that are trying to make money. This means that they will offer you the lowest possible price for your Burger King gift card—you will probably only get 80–90% of the real value of your card.

Get Cash Back

If you have a small amount left on your Burger King gift card, you may be able to return it to Burger King for cash back.

Burger King says you cannot redeem your gift card for cash “unless required by law.”

In 11 states and Puerto Rico, state law forces gift card vendors to give you cash back if you have a small amount left on your non-reloadable gift card.

The states and cash back limits are as follows:

StateCashback Limit
California$10
Colorado$5
Connecticut$3
Maine$5
Massachusetts$5
Missouri$5
New Jersey$5
Oregon$5
Puerto Rico$5
Rhode Island$1
Vermont$1
Washington$5

This is a great option if you have an unwanted Burger King gift card with a few dollars left on it. The only drawbacks with this system are that you:

  • Have to be in one of the cash back states
  • Need to go to a Burger King outlet
  • May have to explain the law to a cashier or supervisor

This card doesn’t earn loyalty points. Once the card runs out of funds, it can’t be reloaded.

If you have a BK eGift, it comes in the form of a 16-digit code that’s emailed to you. When ordering at Burger King, show the crew member your smartphone containing the email with the code, or bring a printed copy to the store. The crew member will enter the code and apply it to your order.

How Do I Add More Funds to My Burger King Gift Card Balance?

A BK Crown Card can be reloaded by going to the Reload Card page. Enter your Crown Card number to start the process of reloading your Crown Card. Alternatively, you can have a crew member reload your Crown Card by visiting Burger King.
