Redeem an Amazon Gift Card

When you redeem an Amazon.com Gift Card to your account, the funds are stored in Your Account and will automatically apply to your next eligible order.

To redeem a physical gift card:

  1. Remove the card from the outer packaging. Once removed from packaging, the card will be the size and shape of a credit card.
  2. Find the claim code on the back of the card, under the peel-off sticker or the silver scratch-off section. Carefully take off the sticker to reveal the Claim Code. An Amazon gift card claim code is 14 or 15 characters long and will usually contain both letters and numbers.
  3. Go to Redeem a Gift Card.
  4. Enter your claim code (dashes not required) and select Apply to Your Balance.

To redeem an electronic gift card:

  1. Go to the Amazon webpage. Make sure you are signed into the account that you want to redeem the Gift Card to. If not, sign out and then log back into the correct account.
  2. If delivered via email, select Apply to your Amazon Account. You may be prompted to sign into your account. If delivered via text, select the link to be brought to the redemption page, then Apply to your Amazon Account.

Note:
  • There will not be a claim code on electronic gift card deliveries.

  • If your order total is more than your gift card balance, we'll charge the remaining amount to your default payment method.
