Ever found yourself with multiple Amazon gift cards, itching to combine them to purchase that must-have item or treat yourself to a shopping spree? Unfortunately, Amazon doesn't directly support combining gift cards. But no worries, there are a few workarounds to help you make the most of your gift card balance. Let's dive into the details and explore how you can use multiple gift cards on Amazon.
Before we proceed, it's essential to understand why Amazon doesn't let you combine gift cards. Amazon's policy is to keep gift cards separate to ensure the recipient's original balance is maintained. However, this doesn't mean you can't use multiple gift cards together. Read on to discover how.
Using Multiple Amazon Gift Cards in a Single Order
Amazon doesn't allow combining gift cards directly, but you can apply multiple gift cards to a single order by following these steps:
1. Add items to your cart as usual. During checkout, Amazon will calculate the total amount due including shipping and taxes.
Using Multiple Gift Cards on the Payment Page
Once you're on the payment page, you can apply your gift cards one by one. Here's how:
1. Click on 'Apply a gift card.' A pop-up will appear asking for your gift card code.
2. Enter the code of the first gift card and click 'Apply.' Amazon will subtract the available balance from your order total.
3. If the first gift card doesn't cover the entire order, repeat the process with additional gift cards. Keep applying gift cards until the order total reaches zero, or you've applied all available balances.
Successfully Adding Different Gift Cards
Remember, you can't apply a gift card after your order is placed. So, make sure to apply all your gift cards during checkout. Also, keep track of which gift card you've used last, as Amazon won't remember your sequence.
Moreover, you can't use a gift card if the order total is already zero or negative. This means you can't use multiple gift cards to purchase additional items without increasing the order total.
Purchasing Amazon Balance with Gift Cards
Another way to use multiple gift cards on Amazon is by purchasing Amazon balance with them. Here's how:
1. Visit the 'Your Account' page and navigate to 'Apply a gift card to your balance.'
2. Enter the code of your first gift card and click 'Apply.' Your Amazon balance will increase by the gift card's face value.
Applying Additional Gift Cards to Your Balance
1. Repeat the process with additional gift cards. There's no limit to the number of gift cards you can apply to your Amazon balance.
2. Once you've added all your gift cards to your balance, you can use your Amazon balance to make purchases.
And there you have it! Now you know how to harness the power of multiple gift cards on Amazon. Happy shopping!
