I have a pile of gift cards that I want to make sure I get the best use out of. Does anyone know of an iOS App that can record your gift cards, amount, expiry date etc?
Is There an App for Storing Gift Card Info?

Stocard
I second stocard for storing loyalty cards and some giftcards. I know it can even store coles gift cards but it cannot fetch you the balance. I just make a note against each gift card about the new balance after I use the card.
I know Stocard can hold your loyalty cards. Didnt realise it could put in your gift vouchers
Use the notepad in your email box.
Try Beep N Go. Awesome for loyalty cards and also supports gift cards
Camera?
Cardstar app
Android Pay can if you have it and manually input the information
Edit: Sorry, disregard since you said iOS
Do you know if Coles eGift cards work with Android Pay now? I could add the egift card but could not use it to pay at checkout with Android Pay, it gets an error. It was about 5 months or so ago.
No idea; sorry
I was hoping that there was something that I could put the details into which would give me a reminder when the card it nearly due. I have another (unrelated) app that can do that, so I assume the functionality is there. I'm just surprised that there doesn't seem to be something dedicated to this around the App Store. Stocard is more for membership cards, not gift cards. I can put the gift cards into it, but there isn't anything I can use for a date reminder or the balance, so it's not really helpful. Cardstar and Prezzee seem similar; you can buy card through them and they will store the details, but nothing for actual cards, as opposed to virtual cards.
After the DSE debacle lots of people are wary of gift cards. Out of curiosity why do you have so many to manage?
I don't have 'so many'. Probably about 6-8, but I was just looking for info about some type of App where I could remember them, rather than have them all in my purse.
“So many” was a fair assumption when your description was “I have a pile of gift cards”.
Email the codes to me, I'll keep them safe for ya
That's very kind of you
Sorry for the late reply after 1.5 years… Just saw the post while googling.
Most merchants have now implemented captcha to protect card balance check so most of the old and automatic balance check methods do not work any more.
Regarding mobile app for gift card balance check, you can try this one: https://gcb.today/ or direct link to app store: https://gcb.page.link/app. I am the developer of the app, hope it can solve the problem you have.
In short, the app stores card and automate balance check expect captcha. For data entry, text recognition from photo works for most cards. Give me a yell if you need some more details.
Woolworths Money app can store wish & woolworths egift cards. Makes paying with the 5% off ones much easier at the supermarket. Not sure of any other apps though.
