Offer international gift cards,

This review is from: Amazon.co.uk Email Gift Card (Ecard Gift Certificate)
I love the idea of these cards, however it would be nice if I could send one to the UK from the USA web site, one which I pay for in dollars at amazon.com, but the recipient can spend on amazon.co.uk - I am fed up with getting hit with international transaction fees on my US credit card every time I send gifts to my relatives in the UK.

Obviously you know exactly what you are getting with a voucher, but it took much longer to arrive than it should have and in fact I had to ask for it to be resent, so it didn't get there in time for my sister's birthday.

Sneaky T&C; changes by Amazon,
This review is from: Amazon.co.uk Email Gift Card (Ecard Gift Certificate)
Amazon have just dropped their gift voucher validity down to 1 year (was 3). I have been buying these vouchers for kids as away of allowing them to save up to buy a larger item of their choice. However, Amazon, clearly not satisfied with the interest free loan I provide them, after 12 months now pocket the capital as well!! In most countries this is against the law and it beggars belief we allow companies to steal our hard earned cash like this in the UK.
Please vote with your feet and boycott Amazon vouchers until they show some sense of moral decency towards their customers.

Useful, but be careful of e-mailing it,

When I asked a friend of mine's wife what voucher he wanted for his 50th Birthday she said Amazon. Since I knew my friends e-mail address, I thought it was best to use the e-mail option because it might be easier to redeem for him than a printed voucher, but after I sent it, I started reading the terms and conditions which state: "Amazon.co.uk is not responsible if a gift certificate or a gift card is lost, stolen, destroyed or used without permission". I then started to worry that the e-mailed certificate could be sent to a spam folder and then deleted, so I had to phone my friend and tell him to watch out for it and check his spam folder. The other thing to bear in mind is that if you get the e-mail address wrong and send it to someone else, you will probably lose it.
Having said that, they are flexible in that the amount of the certificate goes into the persons account and they can use a credit card to top up for larger purchases or combine gift certificates and if they use less than what you provide, the remainder stays in the persons account for at least a year anyway. I think if I use them again, I will print them rather than e-mail them for security. I wouldn't send them to someone who didn't already have an Amazon account because you are effectively forcing them to open one.

Bought this gift voucher for our son-in-law to enable him to pay for downloads to his Amazon kindle. Devastated to learn that, when he tried to use his gift, he was unable to redeem the money for kindle downloads. Hope Amazon rectify this omission soon.

I was in hospital at the time of my best friend's 60th Birthday, but thought, "It's ok, I've got it covered" because I'd ordered a gift voucher to be sent to him the day before his birthday. When I got home, I found he HADN'T received it, and re-sending to his address FAILED. In the end I had to email it to myself, and then forward it. Big disappointment, big let-down.

Amazon voucher,
This review is from: Amazon.co.uk Email Gift Card (Ecard Gift Certificate)
I am really disapointed in the voucher I purchased from Amazon to be sent to my son-in-law for his birthday.
It has caused all sorts of problems and these have not been resolved yet. My son-in-law has been unable to spend the voucher despite the money having been taken from my account (so must be valid). I have sent it twice, he has not received any e-mail from Amazon confirming the gift. I have sent him the code sent tor me but Amazon have declined to accept this. I now have the bother of chasing this all up. What I thought would be a nice and easy solution for a birthday gift has resulted in my son-in-law feeling guilty because he has had to come back to me. What a disapointment all round Carol

I purchased this gift card as a gift to my English son-in-law. It was so easy to complete the purchase, just like using Amazon in the US. It was my first purchase on Amazon UK.

A Gift Certificate is an ideal present to send to friends, but in my case it did not work out. I send a Gift Certificate to a relative in South Africa to buy Kindle books with, but it could not be redeemed. When you live in South Africa you cannot download ebooks from Amazon.co.uk. Has to do with copy rights. An unpleasant surprise. But Amazon.co.uk refunded the money and told me to buy a new Gift Certificate with Amazon.com and this time, no problem. Download a success. Good service!
