    Subject: Get a $10 credit when you send a $50 Amazon Gift Card by text message

    If you received that promotion email from Amazon, be very careful. My purchase experience with that promotion felt like a “bait & switch” by Amazon website. I clicked on the promotion email link and tried to buy a $50 gift card. I entered the phone number for texting the gift card and as I clicked “Buy Now” button, Amazon website reloaded the gift-card purchase page & prompted me to enter an email address because the delivery option was changed (by Amazon) to “Deliver by Email”.

    I was confused and tried it to start over two more times. Both times, after I entered a phone number where the gift card would be delivered to, and clicked on “Buy Now” button, Amazon website would reload the page and change to “Deliver by Email”. Somewhat out of patience, I just proceeded to enter an email and completed the whole purchase.

    After reading the fine print of this promotion, I realized that $10 credit is given only when the $50 gift card is delivered by text to a phone number.

    To me, the whole experience is a “bait & switch”. I wanted to buy $50 gift card and I followed the email link & entered a phone number. As I wanted to pay for the purchase, Amazon website changed the delivery option to “Deliver by Email” to mislead me into entering an email address to deliver the gift card. In turn, that would disqualify me for the $10 credit. What The Frank.

    DO NOT BUY Amazon eGift cards! Their system is broken and they are not even aware of it. If you purchase gift card and send to another person, that gift card will be redeemed before they receive it. The eGift card information is sent in the clear AND activated. Which means anything on the internet can intercept the information an cash the card in at 3rd party site for cash or redeem the card at Amazon with a bogus account. They don’t even care let alone how many pissed off customers they have or how many millions are being list..who cares right?
    And it’s such an easy fix. Until fixed Don’t buy them.

    Ordered gift card for Fathers Day for Son-in-law. When he tried to use it, it had already been redeemed. Further investigation showed that by the day after I ordered it and it was sent to my email, it was redeemed (not by me). Amazon has sent this to their fraud department but I was told that because whoever redeemed it, used it right away and there is nothing they can do to compensate me for the loss. Also, they know who redeemed it but cannot share that info. Thanks for nothing. I will never order another gift card.

    There’s no reason why I should keep getting error messages when I try and send gift cards. (Third time. After calls, emails, earlier one sent. I’m not going thru it again.) Will go somewhere else for my company gifts.

    Beware!! There is a phone scam going on. You will receive a phone call from DIRECT TV stating that you will receive a very low monthly charge for your Direct TV and internet service if you will pay 4 months in advance with an Amazon gift card ($240). This is a very sophisticated scam. If you ask to think about it and call them back later, you get the AT&T tone and recording just like the real thing. We fell for it so are out $240. AT&T/Direct TV has been of no help and in fact says they have no intention of notifying customers of this potential scam. Amazon fraud was very helpful and in fact tried to back track the gift card, but in the end could not trace the call (probably because of AT&Ts lack of help. Anyway, I thank Amazon for trying. Our big mistake, so remember, paying for a gift card and giving the cash out number to anyone that promises service is a no, no. We feel stupid, so be smart.

    Had an uncharacteristically unpleasant experience with an Amazon Gift Card over the weekend.

    Bought a $300 card for delivery via text. An hour or two later it still showed “Scheduled” for delivery. Contacted customer service, was told Amazon was waiting on my bank to OK the transaction. I went to bed thinking it would be OK’d and delivered overnight. Ten hours after the purchase time, still not delivered. Called my bank, was told Amazon had never requested approval of the transaction. Called Amazon, was told it could be four more hours before it was approved.

    I told Amazon to cancel the transaction, they told me it would be done immediately, and I would get a receipt confirming the cancellation.

    One hour later, I get notification that the card was delivered. Apparently the transaction was not cancelled as promised. I had been in the process of purchasing a different gift when the delivery notice came in, so I was lucky it came through when it did.

    The lesson here? Let the buyer beware. Amazon’s promise of “five minute delivery” in my case was way off base. What’s worse, their processes for approving transactions leave very much to be desired. When talking to customer service – both the original representative and his supervisor – I was only told “you just have to wait.” There was nothing anyone could do to help me.

    Because I purchased this card to be delivered for a party (which didn’t happen), this was a completely unacceptable situation that has left a very nasty taste in my mouth regarding the use of Amazon Gift Cards. Buyer beware

    I have tried to send a gift card by email 3 times. I keep getting the message “must include an @ or other symboll”….and I did! I give up.

    I like the idea of the eGift cards, but when you choose the option of delivery through a text message, the recipient may not get it. Also, there is no way to cancel the order through your account portal…you have to contact someone at Amazon customer service who will then send you an email with a link that you have to go to.

    I would not recommend an eGift card through a text message to anyone.
