How To Perform a P.F. Chang’s Gift Card Balance Check

Getting a gift card is great—but once you use up most of the balance and have only a few dollars left, you may think that it's unusable and want to throw it away. No need to do that, though! After filling yourself up with Asian cuisine, find out how to do a P.F. Chang’s gift card balance check and use your remaining balance.

How Do P.F. Chang’s Gift Cards Work?

P.F. Chang’s offers two types of gift cards:

  1. eCards
  2. Plastic gift cards

You can send someone a P.F. Chang’s eCard online, or if you prefer the original gift card:

  • Purchase it online and get it mailed to someone
  • Purchase it in person

The company’s terms are the same for both types of cards:

  • They never expire, and P.F. Chang’s won’t charge you any maintenance fees
  • You can load any amount from $5 to $500
  • P.F. Chang’s will issue a replacement card of the same value if your card gets lost, damaged, or stolen
  • The gift cards come pre-activated and ready to use

Note that P.F. Chang’s and Pei Wei stopped sharing common ownership in 2019. If you have a P.F. Chang’s gift card, you can’t use it at Pei Wei and vice versa.

What Can I Do With My Leftover P.F. Chang’s Gift Card Balance?

The company states that you can redeem your gift card balance in cash only in states that allow that. There are 11 of them plus Puerto Rico, each with its specific cash back limit. The following table shows the states grouped by the maximum cash back amount:

State/DistrictCash Back Limit
California$10
Colorado, Maine, Massachusetts, Missouri, New Jersey, Oregon, Washington, and Puerto Rico$5
Connecticut$3
Rhode Island and Vermont$1

Cash back is an excellent option for those who live in one of the listed states. If you don’t reside in one of these 11 states or Puerto Rico, traveling that far only to visit a P.F. Chang’s restaurant for a small amount of money is not the best idea.
