No longer my favorite gift.  Gift card was sent, but not activated
This was my fifth or sixth Amazon Gift Card purchase.  All but this last one were sent directly to friends & family.  They each thanked me upon receipt and I never assumed there could be a problem with the Amazon gift card.<br /><br />But now I wonder if they were able to use the cards, for I had a problem with the last card I purchased.  Instead of sending the card to the recipient.  I had the card delivered to me so that I would have a gift in hand when  we attended the party.  We decided on another gift leaving me with the gift card.  To make a long story a little shorter.  I could not get the gift card to work.  Customer service said they did not have a record of that card and asked me where it was purchased.  "Right here on Amazon, go check my account."  They did check my account and after a wait.  He said he added the amount to my gift card balance.  I asked why I wasn't able to utilize the card on my own.  Answer;  it had not been activated.<br /><br />So are the recipients of my other Amazon gift cards beings polite and not telling me they received Amazon gift cards with no balance?<br /><br />Disappointed Amazon would send out gift cards without activating them.  How embarrassing this could have been.<br /><br />(I gave 3 stars instead of one because it used to be a favorite of mine.)
