How to pay on amazon with visa gift card

4.0 out of 5 stars Good Gift Cards - When They Work!
Reviewed in the United States on May 21, 2020

I have purchased several of these for use as Employee Recognition Awards at work. They are great when they work, and our employees were definitely happy with them - until we got one that didn't work. Out of the 16 cards I've purchased only 1 of them has had a problem so far. The employee stated that it was declined everywhere he tried to use it - very embarrassing for that employee and embarrassing for us as a company to give a gift that didn't work. After several call attempts, I was finally able to get a replacement for our employee. However if it were up to me, I would give an Amazon gift card instead, to skip that hassle and the $5.95 activation fee. As I stated when they work, they are fine gift cards.

I got this  $100 Visa Gift Card  because although I have actual credit/debit cards that I use in person at brick & mortar stores and other businesses and online on big-name websites like Amazon, Instacart, Shipt, Target and the like, I am not comfortable giving out my actual card info when shopping on less(er) known and/or potentially risky websites.

So when circumstances necessitate doing business with them (as it did recently, while looking for a replacement battery for my 2007 HP laptop I dug out from a closet after not using it since 2009-2010 [and particularly since switching to Apple/Mac in 2012-2013] in order to play some retro offline Windows games I've not played in years that I missed playing................unfortunately, neither Amazon nor any other big-name stores or websites [like Best Buy, NewEgg, etc.] seem to carry a compatible battery and I had to go with an unknown/lesser known website) I prefer to use non-reloadable prepaid "gift" cards, so that in the worst case scenario, if the site is "fly-by-night" scam business and/or the website gets hacked, they won't have access to my actual credit/debit card info or bank data, and the maximum amount of money I'd potentially lose would limited to whatever the denomination (or remaining balance) on the prepaid card. Granted, depending on the card (AFAIK there cards come in denominations of $25, $50, $100 and $200 cards) it could still be a lot of money to lose, but at least one's entire credit line and private info wouldn't be at risk as it would be using a conventional credit/debit card.

Personally, after several years of using prepaid Visa, Mastercard and other credit cards, like this one, I have to say I think prepaid "gift" cards are a GREAT option, when shopping online, especially when making purchases at certain websites/kinds of websites.

However, previously, Amazon did NOT offer these prepaid Visa, Mastercard and other credit-card "gift" cards and rather, only offered gift cards for specific stores, restaurants or other businesses. This necessitated having to physically go to a brick & mortar store and buy a prepaid "gift" credit card in person anytime I needed a Visa/Mastercard to use online -- and since, due to disabilities, I'm unable to drive, getting these prepaid cards were a huge hassle!

Which is why I am so glad that Amazon has started offering these prepaid Visa/Mastercard gift cards for sale through their site. I don't know if its because of COVID-19, and the lockdowns, or what, but making these prepaid cards available through Amazon, has made it a LOT easier for those of us who are mostly homebound, to get and use these cards as needed.

As mentioned, these cards come in denominations of $25, $50, $100 and $200, and are NOT reloadable (meaning once the balance on the card is used up, you need to buy another card and cannot add more money to that same card). Also they cannot be used to get cash at ATMs or POS (point of sale) purchases. But they can be made for most other purchases where Visa and Mastercard are accepted, which these days, is the majority of places, at least in the US. I have never used these in other countries, not even Canada, so I cannot speak to their functionality abroad. That being said, I recently tried to use one of these cards online on GOG (Good Old Games) and I had difficulty completing the transaction because apparently the site's based in Europe, so the card was declined. But then I just made the payment using the card as a "guest" via Paypal (I no longer trust Paypal enough to maintain an actual account with them anymore) and the transaction went through, immediately.

Other than that, I've had no problems with these cards. The card arrives, open the package and register the card number on their listed website, with your basic info (name, address, phone number, email) which AFAIK is NOT necessary for in-person purchases, but IS (or may be) necessary for online purchases -- and then use the card just like you would any other Visa or Mastercard until you've exhausted the amount on your card. Then, throw it away (or cut it up first if you've registered it with your personal info) and get another one the next time you need it!

Easy-peasy!

I received this gift card with hopes of using it through online merchants. However, after trying on multiple websites it continued to come back as declined. The number on the back of the card doesn’t do much help, since they tell me to reach out to amazon. Other than that, it works perfect for in person transactions.
