How to Check My Amazon Gift Card Balance
By: David Weinrot | April 18, 2020>
These days, your Amazon Gift Card Balance is about as close to a cash equivalent as anything out there. Think about it this way: would you rather have $100 worth of gold or a $100 Amazon Gift Card? While the gold might come in handy for a zombie apocalypse or as a long term investment, there isn’t much you can buy with $100 in gold today whereas, with an Amazon Gift Card, there isn’t much you cannot buy (follow the double negative) save perhaps N95 masks. If you have free shipping through Amazon Prime, that just sweetens the value.
How do I check my Amazon Gift Card Balance online?
To check gift card balance from a desktop or laptop, follow these steps:
1. Log in to your Amazon Account
After you log in to your Amazon account, use your mouse to hover over the Accounts & Lists section at the top right of the page. From there, click “Your Account.”
Click Accounts & Lists and then click Your Account (note: I have a cat, and I like Starbucks Via Instant Coffee. I also have a two Emergency Preparedness Lists)
