DON'T USE A GIFT CARD FOR THE FACE VALUE OF THE GIFT CARD OR IT WILL BE DECLINED!!!!!
I tried to reload $100 using a $100 dollar Mastercard Gift Card that was given to me as a gift but it got declined because there wasn't $100 on the card.  I called the gift card hotline and was told that in fact the first thing Amazon does is charge the card $1.00 to make sure the card is valid and then will load the amount you requested.  This doesn't work when you are using a $100 gift card to reload $100 dollars because that $1.00 request reduces the balance of the card to $99.  Amazon does refund the $1.00 but that is of little concession because what on this planet only costs $1.00 anymore!!!
