Unreliable and the money can be refunded back to the person that gifted it at any time.
One of my friends gave me a $50 gift card. I just tried to use it and the claim code would not work. Talked to 2 reps who told me that the card amount was refunded to the person that bought it and I would have to contact them to find out any additional information. I thought it was very strange that the gift card could be refunded back to the person that bought it after it had been given as a gift. It doesn't make any sense to me at all. Gift cards are usually loaded and that's that. But not with Amazon. The reps were not at all helpful. If you run into this issue, you will have to figure out who gifted you the card and then figure it out between the two of you. Amazon will not help. To make matters worse, I have no clue for sure who even gave me the gift card, so I'm stuck.<br /><br />Now the $50 that I was planning to use is completely out of my reach. It's stupid. I won't be giving anyone an Amazon gift card again.
