Amazon gift cards
An Amazon gift card adds balance to an Amazon account, ready to spend on the millions of items sold across the store: electronics, books, home goods, clothing, games and everyday essentials.
Once the code is redeemed, the balance sits in the account and is applied at checkout on eligible orders.
About Amazon gift cards
Amazon is one of the largest online retailers in the world, with separate country storefronts each carrying their own catalogue and currency. An Amazon gift card converts into store credit on the matching storefront, which makes it a straightforward present for someone whose shopping list you do not know, and a simple way to keep a set amount aside for your own orders.
Face values run from small top-ups to larger amounts, in euros, pounds, dollars, Nordic kronor and several other local currencies. Amazon gift cards sit alongside other prepaid gift cards as a flexible option for shoppers.
How to redeem an Amazon gift card
The help centre has a full walkthrough with screenshots if you would like to see each screen before you start.
- Sign in to your Amazon account, or create one if you do not have an account yet.
- Make sure you are on the Amazon storefront that matches the card's country.
- Go to the "Redeem Gift Cards" section of your account.
- Enter the gift card code exactly as supplied.
- Confirm the redemption and check that the balance appears on your account.
Regions and where the card works
Amazon gift cards are tied to a country storefront. A card issued for one country adds balance in that country's currency and can only be used on that Amazon site, so the region you choose should match the storefront the recipient actually shops on rather than where they happen to live.
Check the country marked on the card before buying, and pick the one that matches the account. Cards listed as Global are the exception and are not bound to a single storefront.
Regions currently listed for Amazon: United States, LATAM, Sweden, Mexico, Saudi Arabia, Canada, Germany, Netherlands, Australia, Poland, France, Egypt and 16 more. Use the region filter beside the results to see the cards for one country.
Common questions
- Can I use an Amazon gift card in another country?
- No. Each card is tied to the Amazon storefront of its country and will not redeem on a different one. Buy the card for the country whose Amazon site the account uses.
- What happens to leftover balance?
- Any unused amount stays on the Amazon account as store credit and is applied to future eligible orders. There is no need to spend it all in one go.
- Can I transfer the balance or buy another gift card with it?
- No. Once redeemed, the balance cannot be moved to another account and cannot be used to purchase other gift cards.
- How do I receive the code?
- The code is delivered to your order once payment completes, and you can then redeem it on your Amazon account.
- Do I need an existing Amazon account?
- No. You can create an account on the relevant Amazon storefront first and then redeem the code on it.
