Have you ever got Amazon gift cards on Christmas Day from friends, relatives, or the boss of your office? Some of you will definitely say, yes. This has become an effective trend to give others Amazon gift cards as Christmas gifts or other celebration gifts.
Last year, I also received some Amazon gift cards. The process is very simple. My boss purchased some Amazon gift cards for me and other colleagues. Now, I could purchase products from Amazon using Amazon gift cards. However, I had to redeem the gift cards to my account so that the money gets stored up in my account. This article will explain to you the redeeming process of Amazon gift cards so that you can use the gift card to purchase products from Amazon.
How to Redeem Amazon Gift Card or Voucher to Your Account Using amazon.com/redeem?
In order to use the gift card, you should have an Amazon account where you can redeem your gift card. Your Amazon account is essential for redemption. Therefore, you should create an account first, if you don’t have any.
- Your Amazon gift card carries a redemption code. This code is crucial to redeem the gift card. You can get the redemption code by scratching off the backside of the gift card. If you have an e-card, instead of a physical, you will receive an email for the redemption code.
- When you have the redemption code, you have to visit amazon.com/redeem by using your smartphone or computer device.
- On the next screen, you will see a login page and now you have to log in to your Amazon account.

After the redemption process, you will receive a confirmation message. You can also check your updated account by visiting amazon.com/balance. You can also visit the Gift Card Redemption Issues page if you face any issues.
