Amazon is one of the best ways to use your MyGift Visa® or Mastercard®
—but only if you do it the right way.
Here’s the full guide to avoid declines, use your full balance, and never lose a cent.
✅ Option 1: Reload Your Amazon Gift Balance (Recommended)
Steps:
- Go to 👉 Amazon.com/Reload
- Enter your exact card balance (e.g., $18.74)
- Use your MyGift card as the payment method
- Click “Reload Now”
🎯 Now your balance is added to your Amazon gift account — no more declines!
✅ Option 2: Add as Payment Method (Less Reliable)
You can also add your MyGift card to:
- Amazon Wallet → Payment Options → Add New Card
But this may be declined if: - Card doesn’t have a ZIP code
- Balance is too low
- You’re trying a recurring/subscription product
📛 Use Reload method for better results!
⚠️ Why Amazon Might Decline Your MyGift Card
| Reason | Fix |
|---|---|
| ❌ No ZIP registered | Go to giftcardmall.com/mygift and add ZIP |
| 💵 Low balance | Reload exact amount — not more |
| 🔄 Trying to split payment | Amazon doesn’t support that |
| 🧾 Subscription product | Use gift balance instead |
| 🔐 Temporary lock | Too many failed attempts = card block |
🧠 Tips for Using MyGift on Amazon
- Use Amazon Reload – accepts any exact amount
- Never attempt transactions larger than card balance
- Always register ZIP code before trying
- Try small reload first (e.g., $1.00) to test the card
🔁 What to Do If It Fails
- Double-check CVV, expiry, ZIP
- Try incognito window or different browser
- Call MyGift support if card is locked: 1-877-322-4710
- Try alternate use (e.g., PayPal, Starbucks)
