About Joker Card

What is a Joker Card and how it works in Canada

The Joker Card is a prepaid card you can use wherever the network logo on your card is accepted in Canada. Your Joker Card Balance changes with purchases, refunds, and temporary holds (for example, gas and hotel deposits).

To Check Joker Card Balance in Canada, use the official Joker portal and the instructions on your card/packaging.

Here’s what matters: balance checks, activation for online use, and why your available balance can be lower after gas or hotel holds.
