How Amazon Gift Cards Work
An Amazon Gift Card contains a claim code, usually 14 to 15 characters, that can be redeemed through an eligible Amazon account. After the code is accepted, its value is added to the account's Amazon Gift Card balance. This balance is applied automatically at checkout toward eligible purchases, and if the order total exceeds the balance, the remaining amount can be covered with another payment method. An Amazon account and an internet connection are required for redemption.

What Can You Buy with Amazon Gift Card Funds?

Amazon Gift Card funds can be used to purchase eligible items across nearly all product categories sold by Amazon.com Services LLC and its affiliates, including electronics, home goods, books, and everyday essentials. Shoppers can also use their balance for eligible digital content, such as Kindle e-books, apps, and select streaming purchases, wherever supported.
Region and Currency Compatibility
Amazon Gift Cards may be issued for a specific Amazon marketplace, currency, or region. Before purchasing, check the denomination, regional restrictions, and currency information shown in the listing. The selected card should be compatible with the country, currency, and settings of the Amazon account on which it will be redeemed.
