The card ID number is a number at the back of your card that starts with 20000… This number is like an “account number” and you will need it to talk to Spark customer service or if you want to reload your card through banks or authorized retailers.

 

How can I see my balance, transactions, etc.?

You can log into your account by going to tarjetaspark.es/en and clicking on “MY CARD.” You will have to enter your card number and your web password. You will be able to see your balance, transaction history, block/unblock your card, remember your PIN (if you forgot), etc.

What should I do if I lose my Spark MasterCard or see unauthorized transactions?

  1. Log into “MY CARD” at tarjetaspark.es/en and block your card to prevent anyone else from using your Spark card
  2. Notify us immediately at info@tarjetaspark.es so we can make sure your card is blocked, prepare a new card for you, and transfer any remaining balance onto your new card.
  3. A replacement card will cost the student 5€
