A Few Tips:
-
Expiration: Amazon gift cards, once redeemed, don’t have an expiration date. The balance will remain on your account until you use it.
-
Multiple Cards: If you have multiple gift cards, you can redeem them all to your account, and the balances will cumulatively add up.
-
Security: Always be cautious and ensure you're entering the gift card details on the official Amazon website. There are scams that involve fake websites mimicking Amazon to steal your gift card details.
If your card doesn’t work or you encounter any issues, reach out to Amazon’s customer service for help.
