How Does an Amazon Gift Card Work?

Amazon gift cards are prepaid cards used for purchasing items on Amazon and from a few other online retailers. They can be bought in a physical or digital format. The card works in a similar way as any other company-issued gift card—you receive it pre-loaded with a specific amount of cash that you can spend:

1. On the Amazon website
2. On websites owned by or partnered with Amazon, such as Amazon Prime, Kindle, or Twitch
3. At a few other places that accept Amazon gift cards as a payment method, such as Allurez, Beach Camera, and AllSaints

There is a limit to how much one can spend with this type of gift card, but it's pretty generous—$10,000 a day. Check out the table below for more details on each Amazon gift card type:

Before you can use the Amazon gift card online, you have to redeem it. This means that you have to transfer the funds from your gift card onto your Amazon account before making a purchase.

The gift card redemption process is the first step towards buying anything on Amazon or related websites. To redeem your Amazon gift card on your mobile device, follow these steps:

1. Log in to your Amazon account and click on the Gift Cards tab
2. Select Your Gift Card Balance
3. Click on Redeem a Gift Card
4. Type in your Amazon gift card claim code
5.  Press Apply to Your Balance

You can find the gift card claim code on the back of the plastic gift card. If you received the digital version of the card, the code will be sent to you via text, email, or a messaging app.

Once the balance from your gift card is deposited into your Amazon account, all you have to do is select the appropriate payment method at the checkout when confirming your order, and the funds will be applied to your purchase. If you want to keep your gift card balance for another time, select the “Keep Your Gift Card Balance To Use Later” option.

If you purchase something that costs more than the available Amazon gift card balance, the remaining amount will be topped off from your default payment method.

An Amazon gift card is handy because it can help you alleviate your expenses—but that applies only if you don’t have to buy it yourself. Otherwise, it doesn’t help you save money.

Luckily, you don’t have to wait for your birthday or Christmas—you can try and get one for free via numerous free gift card apps. They give you the opportunity to complete certain tasks on your phone and get reward points that you can later exchange for a free gift card. You can usually collect points for watching ads, installing apps, participating in surveys, and similar activities.

The only challenge is choosing a reliable app since there are many shady ones. Here are a few red flags you should watch out for before downloading an app:

• Few and predominantly bad reviews
• Small number of users
• Single activity for collecting points available

You can take your chances with one of the iffy apps, lose valuable time searching for a reliable one, or choose one of Mode Mobile’s products and start collecting rewards today! We offer two complementary products—the Mode Earn App and the Mode Earn Phone—that allow you to earn supplemental income by completing everyday tasks on your phone.
