Do Home Depot Gift Cards Expire?

No, Home Depot gift cards do not expire. They also do not have any fees connected to them. You can use your Home Depot gift card whenever you choose. You do not have to worry about the card being useless one day or having its balance reduced because of fees.

How to Check Balance of a Home Depot Gift Card?

Visit homedepot.com/c/Gift_Cards. Click “Check Balance” on this webpage. You will be requested to enter your gift card number and PIN. This information is located on the back of your physical gift card or came with the delivery of your eGift Card.

You can see an example of the information you will enter to check a gift card’s balance in the image below.

If your card does not have a PIN, you can visit a local Home Depot store and request an employee to complete a balance check.

How to Reload a Gift Card?

Final Thoughts

Feel free to use your older Home Depot gift cards without concern about expiration or fees that may reduce the balance. In fact, most gift cards at other retailers and restaurants do not expire. This includes Home Depot’s major rival, Lowe’s, whose gift cards do not expire if they have a balance.

The above being said, you should check the terms and conditions of any gift card you purchase to be informed of any fees or expiration date. The last thing most people want to do is give free money to a retail/restaurant in the form of an unused gift card.
