To add a gift card to your Amazon account, follow these steps:
Redeeming an Amazon Gift Card
On the Amazon website:
- Go to the Amazon gift card redemption page at amazon.com/gc/redeem.
- Log in to your Amazon account.

- Click the "Apply to your balance" button to add the gift card amount to your Amazon balance
Using the Amazon app (iPhone or Android):
- Open the Amazon shopping app.
- Tap the person icon to access your account.
- Select Your Account.
- Scroll to the Payments section and tap Manage gift card balance.
- Tap Redeem another gift card.
- Enter the gift card code manually or scan it.

You can also redeem a gift card directly during checkout by entering or scanning the gift card number in the payment section.
Adding a Visa Gift Card to Amazon
If you want to use a Visa gift card (not an Amazon gift card) on Amazon, you need to add it as a credit or debit card:
- Ensure your Visa gift card is activated and has a valid balance.
- Log in to your Amazon account.
- Go to Accounts & Lists > Your Payments.
- Under Cards & Accounts, click Add a payment method.
- Select Add a credit or debit card.
- Enter your Visa gift card details (card number, expiration date, cardholder name).
- Use the card issuer's address as the billing address.
- Save the card to your account
You can then use this Visa gift card as a payment method during checkout. This covers how to add both Amazon gift cards and Visa gift cards to your Amazon account for purchases
