Quick Answer
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Does Little Caesars sell gift cards? | Yes, physical cards in-store and through major retailers. There is no official online gift card store. |
| Common denominations | Commonly stocked at $5, $10, $15, and $25, though this varies by seller (no official denominations list is published). |
| Do they expire? | No confirmed expiration date on standard cards. |
| Where can I check my balance? | Call the number printed on the back of your card (current cards print 1-888-892-3813), use the gift card balance tool on littlecaesars.com, or ask a cashier in-store. |
| Can I get a discount on one? | Sometimes, through gift card resale marketplaces, not directly from Little Caesars. |
| Can I use it online or in the app? | No. Gift cards are in-store only; they cannot be redeemed online or added as an app payment method. |
Where to Buy Little Caesars Gift Cards
Little Caesars does not run its own dedicated gift card checkout the way some chains do. Cards are issued by Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc. and sold through the restaurant itself and a network of retail partners.
| Retailer | Format | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Little Caesars restaurant | Physical | Ask the cashier directly; card must be activated at checkout. |
| Walmart | Physical | Commonly stocked in $10 denominations, both in-store and online. |
| Kroger | Physical | $15 cards confirmed in Kroger's online catalog. |
| Dollar General | Physical | $10 cards listed, described as having no printed expiration date. |
| Target | Physical | Multiple denominations, availability varies by store. |
| Amazon | Physical | Third-party email-delivery listings exist, but the cards still redeem in-store only. |
If a specific denomination is out of stock at one retailer, it's worth checking a second one since stock varies store to store and isn't centrally managed.
Denominations and Formats
Physical Little Caesars gift cards are most commonly found in $5, $10, and $15 amounts at grocery and retail chains, though $25 physical and digital versions also show up through online retailers. There is no single official price list published on littlecaesars.com, so the safest approach is to check the specific retailer's listing before buying.
A note on "eGift cards": Little Caesars has no official eGift program. Third-party listings that deliver a card by email or text are just delivery packaging; the card itself still redeems in-store only, not online.
How to Check Your Little Caesars Gift Card Balance
There are three ways to check a balance, and which one works best depends on whether you have the physical card in hand:
- Call the number on the back of the card. Current cards print 1-888-892-3813 for balance and card-related inquiries; 1-800-722-3727 is Little Caesars customer service and appears on older materials. Use whichever number is actually printed on your card.
- Visit littlecaesars.com and use the gift card section, entering the card number and the security code from the back.
- Ask a cashier in-store. This is the most reliable option if you're near a location anyway, since staff can look up the balance directly at the register.
How to Redeem a Little Caesars Gift Card
In-store
- Order at the counter or kiosk as usual.
- Tell the cashier you're paying with a gift card before the transaction closes.
- Hand over the card to be swiped or scanned.
- Ask for a receipt showing the remaining balance, since not every card prints this automatically.
Where gift cards do not work
This is the part most people get wrong, so it deserves its own heading: Little Caesars gift cards cannot be redeemed online and are only accepted in restaurants. That is the official wording on littlecaesars.com/gift-cards. They can't be added as a payment method in the Little Caesars app, and they can't be used for online pickup or delivery orders. If you're planning an online order, pay another way and save the gift card for an in-store visit.
Little Caesars gift cards are redeemable for food and beverage only at participating U.S. locations. They are not redeemable for cash except where state law requires it, and lost or stolen cards are not replaced.
Buying Little Caesars Gift Cards at a Discount
Little Caesars itself doesn't sell gift cards below face value. Any discount comes from third-party gift card marketplaces that buy unwanted cards from other people and resell them for slightly less than their balance.
| Marketplace | What it does | Notes as of October 2026 |
|---|---|---|
| CardCash | Buys and resells pre-owned gift cards | Listed discounts on Little Caesars cards up to 1 percent off face value (checked October 7, 2026), backed by a 45-day buyer guarantee. |
| Gift Card Exchange (formerly Raise) | Peer-to-peer resale, sellers set their own price | Pricing depends on what sellers list; availability for any single brand fluctuates day to day. |
| CardCrazy, GiftCash, and similar sites | Smaller resale marketplaces | Worth comparing before buying since discount percentages change constantly and aren't guaranteed to stay listed. |
Two honest caveats here. First, resale discount percentages move daily and the numbers above are a snapshot, not a fixed rate, so check the live listing before assuming a specific percentage. Second, only buy from marketplaces that offer a buyer protection guarantee, since gift card fraud does happen and Little Caesars' own terms state that cards obtained through unauthorized channels can be voided. Pairing a discounted gift card with in-store Hot-N-Ready pricing can stretch your balance even further.
Corporate and Bulk Gift Cards
Little Caesars gift cards are commonly used for employee incentives, client gifts, and event giveaways. No official bulk or corporate gift card program is published, though, so if you're ordering for a company or organization, the most reliable route is to contact Little Caesars directly rather than assuming a retail store can fulfill a large order, since in-store stock is meant for individual customers. (Separately, the official Little Caesars Fundraising program sells meal-deal kits for group fundraisers, which is a different product from gift cards.) The same approach works for a campus club or student group splitting the cost of a semester of orders, or for gifting a service member outside the annual Veterans Day Lunch Combo window.
Terms and Exclusions Worth Knowing
- Cards are not valid until activated by a cashier at purchase.
- Redeemable for food or beverage only at participating U.S. Little Caesars locations.
- Not redeemable or refundable for cash, except where required by law.
- Lost, stolen, or damaged cards are not replaced.
- Cards obtained through unauthorized channels, such as online auctions, are considered void.
- The card issuer is Little Caesar Enterprises, Inc.
Why a Gift Card Might Not Work
A card can fail to scan or ring up correctly for a few common reasons: it was never activated at the time of purchase, the balance was already spent, the card was purchased through an unauthorized reseller and later voided, or the store's system is having a temporary card-reader issue. If a card won't process, ask the cashier to manually check the balance before assuming the card itself is invalid.

Final Thoughts

The only real decision points are where to buy it and whether a resale marketplace discount is worth the extra step, and both come down to what's convenient for you at the time.
