    I really like amazon gift cards, for sure! Anything ones heart desires, as well as it can be used for food or paper goods too...... Also, I live in the boonies, I can get things delivered to my doorstep that are not available in my small town. Thumbs Up from me.

    I had never received any until this year, just did from my Boss for Christmas. I think it's a great gift, I like shopping Amazon and E-Bay

    I too would love to receive an Amazon Gift Card. I spend thousands there every year for things I need or just want. Many of which are unavailable locally. Since I live out in the boonies too, a gift like that would be greatly appreciated. :thumbs:

    But there is a downside to giving that type of card. What if the person who receives the card doesn't use Amazon or even have a computer? That might mean the card would be tossed into a drawer someplace, re gifted, or sold.

    That's a good point but, if I was unsure about that, I would not give them that gift.

    I think it is kind of better than some other gift cards, the person getting it doesn't have to go to a certain store to redeem their card, just get online, have fun shopping in your underwear if you like , get what you like, have it delivered to your door, easy peasy.

    Yeah, an Amazon card would be ac great gift, unless the recipient was unable to get onto the internet.

    Darn, so I have to go get dressed!
    Amazon gift cards would be used up really fast around here. I have given them out before by request!

    Well, at least I haven't gotten to the point of running around naked outside shouting "I'm Free, I'm Free" or they'd be taking me away to the funny farm.

    If the gifted doesn't have Prime, suggest using it on that. Prime is WE'LL worth the cost.

    It is to me! I get a lot from the Prime service. Often just too much to go shopping so on line I can get a good selection. I haven't had issues with returns either.
