Excellent value! But "Gift note" is misleading...
This is an awesome deal. I remember years ago I tried searching for Amazon gift cards on Amazon, and I couldn't find anything, other than gift "cards" that you could purchase, and then the recipient would receive an email only - no physical goods to speak of. And you know what? In my opinion, that sucks. Ya, there doesn't *need* to be a physical card, but when I give a gift, I'd like to be able to *give* that person something tangible. Enter: The Amazon.com Gift Card.<br /><br />So, it's great that they offer a number of different designs at a number of different price points. One caveat: on the Amazon Mobile App on Android, it can be confusing as to how to choose the denomination and card design that you want. This is best purchased from the regular website. I got 3 different gift cards on here, each $20. Each arrived as promised. And why do I say these are a great value? Free 1 or 2 day shipping. AND, you get the gift card at no charge. In my opinion, the art on these cards are classy, and they're not printed on cheap paperstock either.<br /><br />So, why didn't I give this 5 stars? I think Amazon could be a little clearer that adding a "Gift Note" to your order doesn't get the message printed on the greeting card. The greeting card arrives to you inside of a plastic mailing envelope, with the gift card mounted in the greeting card, and an envelope. The package is more suited for it to be delivered to *you*, and then you write your note, and then mail or hand it off to your recipient. I think I read some other reviews from people saying that they ordered these to deliver straight to their recipient, and the person received the aforementioned package. Oh, and if you order add a Gift Note during checkout, it prints on bottom of the packing slip... Not exactly ideal presentation, when there's a brand new greeting card and envelope in the same shipping sleeve...<br /><br />[Update] I see they've since updated the description to mention the above "Gift Note" issue, and how exactly it is packaged.... Way to go, Amazon! This has been changed from 4 to 5 stars.
Rating: 5 stars
