While you can use a Visa gift card on Amazon, there are some restrictions and limitations to keep in mind. For example, you can’t use a gift card to purchase Amazon Prime memberships or digital products such as Kindle e-books or MP3 downloads. Additionally, you can’t use a gift card to buy another gift card.

One common misconception is that you can buy other gift cards using Amazon credit. However, Amazon’s policy strictly prohibits using gift card balances to purchase new gift certificates or prepaid cards. This includes both physical and e-gift cards across all categories, like restaurant, retail, and entertainment cards purchased on Amazon.

Amazon gift cards cannot be used for certain items, including restricted and prohibited items such as alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, and prescription medications. Be aware of these limitations for a smooth shopping experience.
