Amazon customer service didn't suggest....maybe they don't know this trick!
I had a $50 (non amazon) gift card that I needed to use and I wanted to purchase a gift on amazon with it.<br />Unfortunately, unless the gift amount is the same as the gift card (non amazon gift card) then the purchase cannot be processed.<br /> In my case, I had a $60+ gift that I wanted to purchase on amazon.  I wanted to use the $50visa gift card and then pay the remaining $10+ with my default payment choice.  Struggling, I reached out to customer service.  While they are always extremely helpful she did not have a work around for me so, once again I had a $50 gift card that I could not use on amazon.<br />I then realized that if I purchased a $50 AMAZON gift card, I could use that toward my purchase.!! problem solved.<br />In the end, I just gave the $50 Amazon gift card as a gift because it came packaged nicely in a navy blue gift card.
