How do I check my Just Eat Gift Card balance?
10 November 2026
Friday evening, the menus are open and everyone in the house wants something different. If you're paying with a Just Eat Gift Card, you'll want to know your Just Eat Gift Card balance before you start adding sides. It isn't shown on the card itself, but it's easy to find once you know where to look. In this guide, we cover where the credit sits, the steps to check it and what to do when the amount looks off.
Where can I check the balance on a Just Eat Gift Card?
The balance lives in your Just Eat account. As soon as you add the code, the full amount is stored as account credit, and that's where you'll see it from then on. There's no separate checker on the Just Eat website, and restaurants or delivery drivers can't look it up for you.
The credit doesn't have to be spent on one order. Whatever is left after your takeaway stays in your account for the next one. If an order for a bigger group comes to more than your credit, you pay the difference at checkout.
Checking your credit on the website
- Visit just-eat.ie and sign in. If you don't have an account yet, you can set one up for free.
- Click on your account and select "Account credit".
- Adding a new gift card? Type the code into the box and confirm it.
- Your available credit is listed on that same page.
Keep in mind that a Just Eat Gift Card bought on Giftcard.ie can only be redeemed on the Just Eat website, not in the app. So the first step always happens in your browser.
Seeing your credit in the app
Once the code has gone through on the website, the credit is tied to your account rather than to a device. Open the Just Eat app, sign in with the same details and look under "Account credit". It's a quick way to see what you have to spend while you're scrolling through restaurants on the sofa.
What you need to have to hand
Only a few things:
- Your Just Eat login. Credit can only be added to an account, so the person who received the card adds it to their own profile.
- The code. It's in the email that came with the gift card.
- A browser. You need it to add the code. After that, you can view your credit on the website or in the app.
When the credit doesn't add up
An error when you enter the code is usually a typo. Copy and paste it straight from the email, so no stray spaces slip in. If your credit is lower than you remember, scroll through your past orders, because that Tuesday night curry may have been paid for with the card. Sharing a laptop with housemates is another one to watch, so double-check that you're signed in to your own account and not theirs.
If something still seems off, Just Eat's customer care team can look into it. Bought the card from us? Then contact our customer service and we'll help you sort it out.
A takeaway as a present
Credit on Just Eat makes a handy present for anyone who loves a night off from cooking. A Just Eat Gift Card goes from €5 to €250 and lands in the inbox within minutes. For someone who'd rather sit down to eat, a Nando's Gift Card is a good match. You'll find more ideas among our e-gift cards and in our top 10 gift cards in Ireland.
