While Amazon gift cards are best suited for purchasing Amazon products, there are a few alternative ways to use them. In this article, I’ll discuss the most common ways to spend an Amazon gift card, so keep reading until the end to learn how to best utilize yours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Where To Use Amazon Gift Cards?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Most people assume that Amazon gift cards are primarily for purchasing products on Amazon’s vendor website. However, there’s more than one way to spend the points on your Amazon gift card. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
1. Prime Video <\/h3>\n\n\n\n
You can use Amazon gift cards to pay for your Prime video subscription<\/strong><\/a>, considering Prime video is one of Amazon’s top services. Of course, you need to keep track of your gift card balance because once it runs out, you will be charged directly to your credit card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve written a detailed post on this topic where I guide you step-by-step what you need to do. Check out my other article by clicking on this link<\/a><\/strong>!<\/p>\n\n\n\n Using an <\/strong>Amazon gift card for Kindle<\/strong><\/a> can be tricky because while you can use the card balance to buy books, you may want to avoid subscriptions like Kindle Unlimited. The reason is that these subscriptions will run out as soon as your card balance reaches zero. <\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you’re a bookworm and have your Kindle<\/a><\/strong>, an Amazon card is the perfect gift and will allow you to purchase any of your favorite e-books.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon Fresh<\/a><\/strong> is a grocery delivery service you can avail yourself of with your gift card. They provide everyday essentials that you can have delivered to your doorstep. And if you order above a certain amount, your delivery is free!<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also use the gift card on Amazon Whole Foods Market, which caters to a more niche crowd looking for organic products. Both these services are different, and you will have to make separate entries for each with your gift card. This means you can’t club them together and order extra for free delivery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Amazon has been setting up physical stores in various locations worldwide, where customers can pick up food, products, and even apparel by swiping their cards. While the stores are limited, the process of buying and swiping your card is a lot quicker. <\/p>\n\n\n\n These make for the most straightforward way to use an Amazon gift card, as all these purchases are made on Amazon websites or retailers. You can also use the Amazon gift card to stream certain movies and shows on Prime video, which are typically unavailable on the website.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, Amazon gift cards work best when used on Amazon’s affiliate businesses and websites<\/strong>. The process of using these gift cards on Amazon is also relatively straightforward and only requires you to have the necessary information to process the payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, most people receive one of these gift cards on their birthdays or other special occasions, and they can’t seem to find what they’re looking for on Amazon or any of the vendors mentioned above.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So if you don’t particularly want to spend your gift card on Amazon products, here are a few alternative ways to use your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Some websites provide a platform for you to sell your gift card to other people looking to make Amazon purchases at a discounted price. Most of these websites allow you to list your gift card at a discounted price for buyers, so you may not get the entire amount on the card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, if you aren’t using the card anyway, you can make some money off it by putting it up for sale. Some of the best websites to sell your Amazon gift card<\/strong> include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also sell your Amazon gift card on eBay or websites like Craigslist, where people buy and sell various products. The advantage of using these websites is that you can set the price for your card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You can also sell your gift cards on Facebook by advertising them through Facebook marketing to reach a broad audience. You can also get onto subreddits like r\/giftcardexchange<\/a>, where you’ll find plenty of info on who’s looking for Amazon gift cards.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have become a popular payment method on plenty of websites today. The reliability of cryptocurrency, coupled with the platforms that accept this payment method, will give you plenty more options than any Amazon gift card could. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately, there are a few websites that offer a platform to trade bitcoins for Amazon gift cards. Sites like Paxful<\/a> and Purse<\/a> allow sellers to upload their card details and the rate at which they’re willing to change the card for bitcoins. You’re sure to find several bitcoin owners ready to make the trade, considering your card will be offered at a discounted price.<\/p>\n\n\n\n From here, you can transfer your bitcoins to a digital wallet or use them to purchase other products online, as cryptocurrencies are slowly becoming an accepted mode of payment across different platforms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While Amazon gift cards aren’t usable on most platforms, Google Play credits<\/strong> can be used to make purchases on several websites and services. Thankfully, you can purchase a Google Play gift card using the money on your Amazon gift card and then use the new gift card to buy what you\u2019re looking for.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For example, you can’t get a YouTube subscription with your Amazon gift card. However, you can get one using Google play credits. You can also buy several other apps or services on Google Play Store with a Google Play gift card.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So if you can’t find something you like on Amazon, you can always purchase a Google Play gift card using the Amazon credits and then buy something you want on the platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Getting a Netflix subscription with an Amazon gift card is another effective way to cut back on your monthly expenses. Fortunately, while you can’t directly pay for Netflix subscriptions with an Amazon card, you can buy a Netflix gift card and use it to pay for the subscription.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So, if you have a gift card, using it this way will help you save some money on your monthly subscription fees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Facebook Marketplace<\/strong><\/a> is a platform connecting buyers and sellers on the social network, making it easier to bargain and sell directly to an interested buyer. The only difference here is that the buyer may not be a trusted source, so you’ll have to do your due diligence before settling on a deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, the advantage of using Facebook is that you can find interested people in your city or area and meet them in person to make the transaction.<\/p>\n\n\n\n I’ve already discussed how Amazon gift cards are commonly used and a few ways you can exchange them for money to make purchases of your choice. Now let’s look at some websites that directly accept Amazon gift cards as legit forms of payment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adam and Eve is a website selling sexual paraphernalia, like adult toys, lingerie, and other explicit products. While most of the world shuns these kinds of products, they are legal in many states and can often be bought in brick-and-mortar stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Fortunately for all the experimenters reading this article, Adam and Eve accept Amazon gift cards in exchange for their products, so you can stop worrying about how to get rid of the card and spend it here instead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This website is your one-stop shop for all things pet related.

And if you have a furry friend at home and an unused Amazon gift card, this is probably one of the best places to spend your card credits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n 686.com provides a wide range of clothing options for men and women, with some of the freshest designs you’ve probably come across. Their focus tends to revolve around all-purpose clothing that can be used for outdoor activities and still looks presentable at family dinners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Aside from its wide selection of clothes, this website also provides various kinds of apparel and accessories. Some of these include caps, bags, face masks, and pillows.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Their products are priced slightly higher than average clothing, but the quality and design are worth the investment. And if you have enough points on your gift card, getting one of these products for points is definitely a steal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n For those of you about to tie the knot (or considering it), Allurez is a great website to explore the many products involved in a wedding.

Car Parts doesn’t sell anything too specific, so you’ll have to browse their website and see if their products suit your vehicle before you settle on anything.<\/p>\n\n\n\n However, they offer various car parts, including tiny scraps, like replacement headlight covers, which you won’t find in most other online stores.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Bodybuilding is a website that pertains to all things fitness.
