FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Everything Canadians ask about the Joker Prepaid Card, answered clearly.

How does the Joker Prepaid Card work?
The Joker Prepaid Card works like a regular debit or credit card but is pre-loaded with a set amount between $25 and $500. Each time you make a purchase, the amount is deducted from the card's balance. Once the balance reaches zero, the card can no longer be used.
Do I need a bank account to use the Joker Card?
No. That's one of the biggest advantages of the Joker Prepaid Card. You don't need a bank account, credit history, or credit check. Just buy the card at a retail location and start using it immediately.
Can I use the Joker Card online?
Yes, but you must register your card first at jokercard.ca. Online merchants require that your name and address are on file with the card issuer. Registration is free and takes about 2 minutes.
Can I reload money onto my Joker Card?
No. The Joker Prepaid Card is non-reloadable. Once you spend the loaded amount, you'll need to purchase a new card. This is common for prepaid gift cards in Canada.
How do I check my Joker Card balance?
You can check your Joker Card balance online at cardholder.jokercard.ca, or by calling the customer service number on the back of your card (1-855-288-0926). Balance checks are always free.
Does the Joker Card work at gas stations?
Yes, but it may not work at automated fuel pumps that pre-authorize large amounts. It's recommended to pay inside at the station counter, where you can specify the exact amount to charge to the card.
What happens when my Joker Card expires?
The card expiry date is printed on the card, but your funds never expire. If your card expires with a remaining balance, call 1-855-288-0926 to receive a new card with your current balance transferred at no cost.
Is the Joker Card available in French (Québec)?
Yes. The Joker Card is available in English and French across Canada. The website jokercard.ca offers a French version, and customer support is available in both official languages.
