Visa gift cards can be used at almost any location, including on the Internet. If you find something you like on Amazon.com, using your Visa gift card is as easy as using any credit card in your wallet. Follow the steps below to use your Visa gift card at Amazon:

1. Sign in to your account on Amazon.com (if you don’t have an account, register for one). In the top right-hand corner of the page, click on “Your Account.”
2. Scroll halfway down to the bottom of the “Your Account” Web page. The second box down is the “Payment” section, which has all of your account payment options.
3. Click on “Add a Credit Card” under the “Payment Options” menu.
4. Select “Visa” in the “Credit Card Type” dropdown menu. Enter the credit card number (as seen on the front of the gift card), your name as the cardholder and the expiration date as listed.
5. Select a billing address below the card information. This may be used as a shipping address as well.
6. Click on the “Continue” button at the bottom of the page to submit your Visa gift card information. You can now use this card as a method of payment as you shop on Amazon.com.

Tips & Warnings:
- Remember to call the phone number listed on the gift card’s activation sticker, or activate your Visa gift card online prior to shopping.
- Attempting to spend more than the value on the card may result in overage charges.
