Gift Card Genie (GCG) simplifies looking up the remaining amount on gift cards (from supported merchants) in real time.
If there is a ReCAPTCHA, you will be taken to the lookup site with the card number in memory - just paste it and answer the CAPTCHA if required.
If you want to keep track of a merchant totally unsupported you can do that also, you'll just have to update the balance when you use the card.
An automatic lookup will occur when a merchant has a web-based lookup without a ReCAPTCHA.
Most of the time, if they're someone popular and you don’t see them here, (like Macy's) they probably don’t have a web interface.
We add merchants based on request popularity.
This is accomplished in one of two ways.
If we see a lot of requests to add someone specifically, we will do so.
