$5 min is INSANE
I’m posting this in hopes that more people will contribute to these reviews and Amazon will FIX IT. I always reload my gift card balance with whatever amount will not be used on other cards so it can help credit my AMAZON purchases. I went to load $3.51 from a card that hardly gets used and I see there’s a minimum now!? Why when Im still using MY money to make PURCHASES on AMAZON!?!I’m sure there’s other fees and what not for them but Amazon is a multi-billion dollar company… not allowing me to move less than $5 to contribute to my purchases is crazy.

This has to be one of the most finicky services on Amazon. If you have a bunch of those prepaid, non-reloadable Visa gift cards from holidays and stuff (y'know, ones with $10 or less left on them), you CAN technically load them into your Amazon account as a balance. In fact, Amazon even SUGGESTS this service to you when you're looking at your payment information! THEIR SYSTEM KNOWS your Vanilla Visa is A PREPAID CARD!!!! However, the amount of times you get declined is ridiculous, even when there's a balance on them, even when you enter everything in correctly. They decline the card, ask you to update the payment information (which you probably don't want to do because it defeats the purpose of using the remaining balance of the gift card), AND THEN they flag your account for suspicious activity (because you can't cancel the order, you have to wait for it to cancel itself after 2ish days), AND THEN there is a chance they'll lock you out of your account for 24 hours unless you can provide proof of account ownership. I had to tell them through the account reacquisition process that the charge was on an old but still active gift card, and voila the funds dropped within 5 minutes and they gave my account back. I have 4 more gift cards with less than $10 on them... Half of them bounced in the time it took to write this review. Dunno what's going on, if the problem is on their end or Visa's end, but it's frustrating. If I had enough to cover the cost of shipping on any of these gift cards, I could've easily bought what I wanted by now, the card would have gone through (because I've had no issues with making actual purchases on Amazon with these cards), and my review wouldn't exist. It's clearly an issue with the gift card reload service itself. Maybe they'll fix it. I dunno. But if you're thinking of loading your Amazon account with any leftover Vanilla Visas, it might be more trouble than it's worth at this rate.

1.0 out of 5 stars Prepaid gift card fiasco

First, Amazon wouldn't let me use a prepaid visa for a product. So I read online that using that card to load the Amazon balance was a great work around. Tried that, it worked with a $10 test of the card, so I tried to load the rest of the card onto Amazon balance. Did NOT work. Suddenly, Amazon was concerned about what I was doing and cancelled each request to use this prepaid debit card to load Amazon balance. They should know it is a gift card but they keep talking about "contacting your bank"??? I even registered the card with the website that came with the card. Nothing else was needed from the card company's end.
Then come customer support. Oh God how far it's fallen. I remember in 2017 a kind man answered my phone immediately and solved my payment issues in 7 minutes. Now, I seem to get random citizens of earth who have a kindergarten level understanding of English and who have no additional knowledge or skills than the average customer. Completely unhelpful.

Don't y'all just LOVE the DEAD SILENCE from Zeaboland in response to the piles of horrid reviews!? They are really on top of things ...on top of something, NOT on top of the problems people have actually have with their atrocious site. More like they're on top of the slopes snow skiing or ..maybe on top of that other powder..ya know, that Tony Montana powder.. 🤔.. Either way, they OBVIOUSLY don't care. They're getting worse & worser & worserer & worsererer...All the competition they have now, seems like they'd ACT like they care. Oh well. I used to think Temu was a scam or like the communism monster would be hiding out in my closet at night if I bought from them..but one Zak Bagens investigation later, I learned that THEY really do have PILES of great stuff cheap. Macy's too. Rabble rabble rabble.. Th, th, tha, THAT'S ALL FOLKS.

I use Amazon gift cards for all of my Amazon spending because it’s a great way to keep track of what I’m spending and what I’m spending it on; it also makes it quicker to get money from returns. I always add money in $100 increments, so I don’t get why people are freaking out about raising the minimum to $5 — I’m kind of surprised it’s that low. If I had ever thought about it, I would have guessed it was something like $15 or $25. It would never occur to me to add less than $25 — it doesn’t seem worth the effort. I read the reviews when I saw the low rating the gift card got and I couldn’t imagine what kind of negative reviews there could be about something so basic. It sounds like people are complaining about Amazon making it harder to use up other companies’ gift cards. I rarely use gift cards other than Amazon’s, but it never occurred to me to add low balances to another gift card. I’ve always used them as a split payment at the grocery store or my husband uses it at the gas pump, so it doesn’t seem like raising the limit is a big deal. If you want to add low gift card balances to an Amazon gift card don’t spend the gift card down below $5. Amazon’s gift cards are easier to use than any others I’ve used over the years and I really appreciate how the amounts subtracted are linked to an order number. I always had a hard time tracking order amounts when I used my credit card because they would charge amounts as they shipped and orders don’t normally ship all at once, so there would be a bunch of charges that didn’t line up with order amounts. Using the gift card makes it a lot easier to track things. Amazon gift cards are also my only choice if I’m gifting someone a gift card because you have so many choices of things to buy in every price range imaginable . I’ve gotten a number of gift cards over the years from employers, etc., where the amount is less than almost everything the store sells, which is annoying—you either have to spend your own money on something you don’t really want or need or the whole gift card amount goes to waste.
