# Reloadgiftcardbynumber

`POST /v2/giftcards/programs/{programId}/cards/reload-by-number`

### Reload Gift Card by Card Number

Allows topping up a gift card using the card number instead of the card ID.
This is useful for POS/cashier scenarios where the cashier types or scans
a card number rather than looking up the internal ID.

**Business Rules**:
- Same rules as the standard reload endpoint
- Only ACTIVE cards can be reloaded
- Card must not be expired
- Reload amount: $0.01 - $5,000 per transaction
- Maximum card balance: $10,000

**Request Body**:
- `cardNumber`: The full card number (up to 20 chars)
- `amount`: Amount to add ($0.01 - $5,000)
- `referenceId`: External reference ID for tracking (optional)
- `description`: Transaction description (optional, defaults to "Gift card reload")

**Status Codes**:
- 200: Gift card reloaded successfully
- 400: Cannot reload (inactive, expired, or would exceed max balance)
- 404: Gift card not found
