Don’t waste a single penny on your Visa gift card! Watch Collin break it down easily in this video below!
It doesn’t matter if your prepaid gift card is brand new or only has a partial balance. As long as it has at least $5 on it, you can redeem it for Amazon cash using the One-Time Reload option. The process is super simple and SUCH an awesome way to use those leftover balances.
Just follow our instructions below (or watch Collin’s video above) on how to redeem prepaid gift cards on Amazon!
How to redeem your prepaid gift card for Amazon cash using the One Time Reload option.
Using prepaid Visa gift cards at stores can be hit or miss, but there’s an easier option: add them to your Amazon account as credit! If you aren’t ready to buy something just yet, you can store the credit on Amazon for later use, and this works with multiple gift cards, too!
*Just note this only works with credit card gift cards, not store-specific ones!
When you’re ready, follow these instructions for each card:
- Obtain the balance for each card you’d like to redeem for Amazon credits.
- Sign into your Amazon account.
- Click this listing for the One-Time Amazon Reload.
- The amount you want to reload will be the exact balance of your prepaid gift card. Enter this amount in the “Other” section and add the reload to your cart.
- Go to the checkout.
- For your payment method, select “Add a new card” and enter your prepaid gift card information. (Note that you will need to enter a name for the gift card, and even though it won’t have one, I always just enter my name, and it goes through fine.)
- Pay for the reload with your prepaid gift card.
- That’s it! You’ll now have available Amazon credits in the exact amount of your Visa gift card balance!
