Amazon.com gift certificates can be used to purchase
almost anything in amazon, including most items sold by
Marketplace sellers and Amazon Merchants . Sending
E-mail Gift Certificates: When sending e-mail gift
certificates, please be aware that some e-mail programs
may block or even delete e-mail messages which originate
from an address not specified by the recipient as an
accepted address. All Amazon.com e-mail gift
certificates are sent from gc-orders@a2zgiftcerts.amazon.com.
If you are concerned that your recipient may have e-mail
filters turned on, you may want to send or reissue the
gift certificate to your own e-mail address and then
forward it to them or print it out to give to them.
Redeeming Gift Certificates: When you enter the
certificate's claim code for the first time, the
certificate is automatically redeemed onto your account,
and this information is logged into our database, even
if you don't place an order at that time. After you have
entered the claim code once, you do not need to enter it
again--even if you back up and change other information
in the course of placing your order. If you receive an
error message that the gift certificate has been
redeemed, and the funds are not being applied to your
order, it could be that you have more than one
Amazon.com account, and that the funds are redeemed to
one of your other accounts.
