Many Apple gift cards sold by Amazon require call to Apple for help
I took advantage of Amazon's Black Friday deal on Apple gift cards.  I experienced no problems with the Amazon transaction.  But, when I went to use the Apple gift card at Apple's website for a Mac accessory I received an error saying "Your payment authorization failed on card...".<br /><br />I tried multiple times; but, kept getting the same message.  I finally called Apple.  After one transfer and 40 minutes, the apple rep. was able to complete my transaction.  They also commented that they were experiencing issues with a number of gift cards sold on Prime/Amazon.<br /><br />So, while the gift card is valid, it was not easy to use.
