Better than the bank fees
This makes ordering so much easier for me. Last month I had my personal account linked with buying products and suddenly I had five overage charges on my account because I am a mess with keeping track of my money. I am sure your not as extreme as I am about money mismanagement but there are some nice reasons to use an Amazon gift card balance. I got mine because they offered me a free extra five dollars to use on Amazon. Hey, makes up for five of the hundreds my bank charged me.<br />Next it's a softer blow at checkout. At least it is for me. To see that the cost is already taken care of on money I already spent seems to soften the blow somehow. Amazon communication is another reason. They always let me know how much I spent and how much I have left to spend.
