 Great Gift but only if it works!
Written by D. Daniels from
Dec 16, 2008
Gift Cards are the truly personal gift. My only problem is after I received it and could have given it away as a gift I got an email from Amazon - whoops we forgot to activate your card. Be sure your card is good before giving as a gift. Amazon is very good about notifying and doing refunds but this could leave a procrastinator in the lurch with a bad gift which really will be good when Amazon knows the problem. Kudos for the quick second card and I've checked it and it's fully loaded. Thanks!

 Horrible experience
Written by MjSher from
Dec 11, 2008
Bought three $50 gift cards as gifts, received them and mailed them out. One week letter Amazon emailed me that the cards could not be activated and were no good and they were so sorry. I contacted Amazon and they could not explain what happened but again they were "sorry". So I had to contact recipients and explain their gift was worthless. 7 days later I'm still waiting for a refund to my credit card.
Don't order these-the same thing could happen to you. How embarrassing to give these as gifts.

Prime Members BEWARE

I am a dedicated Amazon.com shopper, and, am almost always happy. That being said, please note the top of the page should you be an Amazon Prime member. I NEVER thought that Gift Cards from Amazon.com would be subject to additional shipping and handling... The charge to me for two cards? Over $13.

Card didn't work

After I ordered a gift card as a present for someone, it wasn't until after I had already given it to them that I found out the card was never activated. I got a refund, but it was just an annoying situation.

Avoid these if you plan to mail them
Written by M. Murphy from

I purchased a GC to be mailed on Dec 16th and it still has not be received by Dec 28th. On Dec 28th, I called Amazon customer service and switched the GC to email and I received in less than 2 minutes. As background, I sent this originally via regular mail so the person had something to open for Christmas. As an fyi, the customer service people do not appear to have a clue, as they told me it will take 12 to 48 hours to receive an email gift certificate, but I had it in less than 2 minutes. In short, I should have listened to the other negative feedback before ordering.
