Buy your gift cards elsewhere
Ordered 4 cards Dec 17, 2014 with 1 day shipping for my four grandchildren visiting Dec 20.  3 cards arrived Dec 19, 2014 mid afternoon when my mail is normally delivered.  Since the kids were to be there early on the 20th for a short visit I knew the fourth card would not arrive on time for one of the kids.  I did a chat and email with amazon with some rude and uncaring response.  In the end an email of apology was sent indicating I would have my account credited.  It did not say the card which was now in the mail to the grandson who did not get it that morning was canceled.  Needless to say this led to some embarrassment to my wife and I but I simply gave him cash when I next saw him and he was happy enough and understanding.  The issue is if you are going to cancel out the value of a card make it very clear to a customer before you do it.  Amazon has my payment info on file so to handle it the way they did really stinks.  The irony is I have read many reviews where customers who never received their cards had trouble getting a refund so I was blindsided by having it canceled for complaining it was late.
