Thank You Amazon!
UPDATE TO THIS REVIEW:  I am raising my rating from 4 stars to 5 because I have found a way to not use my gift card balance when I don't want to use it.  Yay!  For those of you who feel the same about this as I do, you can save your gift card balance up and make a purchase using your other payment methods.  Click on the blue link in checkout to change your payment method.  When you scroll all the way down the page you will find a small sentence saying to use the gift card balance for this purchase.  There is a check box next to it and all you have to do is uncheck that box.  You can then save your gift card balance for a different purchase you may be planning and the full price can be charged to whichever payment method you choose.<br /><br />I love the fact that I am able to reload my gift card balance.  It's a good feature.  However, it's kind of awkward to do it.  And it's not instantaneous.  It can take up to 15 minutes.<br /><br />My son wanted me to buy him a headset on Amazon.  He handed me cash.  I logged in to place an order for him.  But I didn't want to spend my own gift card balance.  But Amazon would have used that first on my purchase.  I wanted to keep that on my account.  So, instead of just buying his headset, I went in and loaded the amount I would need to the balance.  Great.  Except there was a delay.  So I had to wait and reload the page.  Then wait some more and reload the page again until finally the balance was available and I ordered his item.  I'm no tech expert, but shouldn't there be an easier way to simply say that I don't want to use my gift card balance on a purchase?
