Adjusting the balance in an active gift card is possible and really easy:

1.  In the Govalo app, go to the **Gift cards** dashboard, then locate the gift card for which you wish to adjust the balance, and access its details page:

You can type in a positive value to add to the card, or a negative value to subtract from it. For instance, if you have a $10 gift card:

*   Type "5" to make it a $15 card
    
*   Type "-3" to make it a $7 card
