How to Use an Amazon Gift Card (US)?


If you've received an Amazon gift card, you can redeem it online right away, so you don't have to keep track of the card or wait until you're ready to purchase something.

  1. Go to the Amazon webpage. Make sure you are signed into the account that you want to redeem the Gift Card to. If not, sign out and then log back into the correct account.
  2. From the Amazon homepage, scroll over the "Account & Lists" tab on the upper right-hand corner. Under the "Your Account" column, click "Account." (Alternatively, you can click on "Account & Lists" to get to the same page.)
  3. Click on the square that reads, "Gift Cards."
  4. In the left-hand column (or just underneath your gift card balance), click on "Redeem a Gift Card."
  5. Enter the 14- or 15-digit claim code that came with your Amazon physical card or e-gift card. Then, click "Apply to your balance," and your balance amount should be updated.

  1. From the Amazon homepage, click "Cart" in the upper right-hand corner.
  2. After reviewing your order, click "Proceed to checkout."
  3. Once you've verified your shipping address, scroll to the "Payment Method" section underneath. If you've previously redeemed an Amazon gift card, you should see it as one of the default payment methods here. Select it and choose a backup payment method if necessary. If you haven't redeemed an Amazon gift card, you can add your 14- or 15-digit claim code to the field that says, "Enter code."
  4. Choose your delivery option, and click "Place your order" when you're finished.

  1. From the Amazon homepage, hover over the "Account & Lists" tab in the upper right-hand corner. Under the "Your Account" section, click "Account." (Alternatively, you can click directly on "Account & Lists" to access the same page.)
  2. Select the "Gift Cards" option.

On this page, you can view your gift card balance and a detailed history of its usage in the Gift Card Activity section.
