Using an American Express Gift Card on Amazon
Amazon makes it impossible difficult to pay with an American Express Gift Card. Here's their policy:
- Pre-paid gift cards can't be combined with credit cards on a single order.
- American Express pre-paid/gift cards can't be used to purchase Amazon.com Gift Cards.
Here's my workaround:
- Find a brick-and-mortar retailer that carries Amazon.com Gift Cards
- Pay for the Amazon.com Gift Card with your American Express Gift Card
- Apply your Amazon.com Gift Card to your order. Presto!
