Gift Certificates > How to Redeem

Redeem when you order:


Just placed an order? If it hasn't entered the shipping process, you can redeem your gift certificate through the relevant Order Summary page in Your Account.
Or, redeem now for future use:
Even if you are not ready to make a purchase yet, please redeem your gift certificate now, and we'll save the amount in Your Account until you're ready to use it. Visit the Gift Certificates: View Balance/Claim Gift Certificate page of Your Account, enter the gift certificate claim code, and click the "Redeem now" button. That's it! The amount will be saved for your future use. (We're sorry, but it is not possible to apply your gift certificate to an order that has already been processed.)

The fine print:

  1. Gift certificates and unused portions of gift certificates should be spent within 18 months from the date of issuance, which is the "spend by" date included on the gift certificate. Gift certificate holders will be given an additional 6-month grace period to spend their gift certificates, and gift certificates and unused portions of gift certificates will expire two years from the date of issuance, which is the "expires" date included on the gift certificate.*
  2. Gift certificates must be redeemed through the Amazon.com Web site, http://www.amazon.com, toward the purchase of products listed in Amazon.com's online catalog. Gift certificates may be redeemed for the purchase of products from third-party sellers through the Amazon.com Web site, except gift certificates may not be redeemed for purchases at Amazon.com Auctions, zShops, and the following merchants: Eddie Bauer, Newport News, Nordstrom, Spiegel, Ultimate Outlet Brands (Spiegel Clearance), The Bombay Company. Additional merchants may be added. Please check the Amazon.com Web site at http://www.amazon.com/gc-legal for the most current list. Gift certificates may not be redeemed for the purchase of products through in-store pickup, or at Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.co.jp, Amazon.ca, or any other Web site operated by Amazon.com, its affiliates, or any other person or entity.
  3. Gift certificates cannot be used to purchase gift certificates or gift cards, such as Amazon.com Gift Certificates, Target GiftCards, or Borders Gift Cards.
  4. Gift certificates are not redeemable for cash and cannot be returned for a cash refund.
  5. Any unused balance will be placed in the recipient's gift certificate account and is not transferable. The original expiration date will apply to any unused balance.
  6. If your order exceeds the amount of your gift certificate, you must pay for the balance with a credit card.
  7. Gift certificate cash value is 1/10 of one cent.
  8. Gift certificates and their use on the Amazon.com Web site are subject to Amazon.com's general Conditions of Use and Privacy Notice.
  9. We are not responsible for lost or stolen gift certificates. If you have any questions, please visit the Amazon.com online Help department at http://www.amazon.com/help.
  10. Amazon.com will have the right to close customer accounts and request alternative forms of payment if a fraudulently obtained gift certificate is either redeemed through the Amazon.com Web site or is redeemed and used to make purchases on the Amazon.com Web site.
  11. Amazon.com may provide gift certificate purchasers with information about the redemption status of gift certificates.
