If your Amex Gift Card is lost or stolen, acting quickly is critical. The sooner you report it, the more likely your remaining balance can be protected — you can also use the amexgiftcard.com balance check online portal to confirm your last known balance before you call. American Express will issue a replacement card for any remaining funds, but only if you have your card number on hand.

<Warning>
  American Express cannot provide a replacement card unless you have your card number. Always record and store your card number, security code, and expiration date somewhere safe.
