Can't check Amazon gift card balance without redeeming!
I just purchased and received 6 Amazon Gift Cards. This year, Amazon does not provide a way for me to check the available balance on the physical cards I received. (They have in prior years.)<br /><br />When I called Customer Service they told me that I had to trust that the cards were of the value ordered. Even though there is no value shown anywhere on the card.<br /><br />The only way to know the value of the cards is to redeem them into my account. Unfortunately, that makes them useless as gifts to anyone but myself.<br /><br />The cards sold in retail stores all have the ability to check the card balance. A very useful feature that I will take advantage of next year, most likely Visa gift cards.
