Pre-paid/Gift Card Payment Restrictions

If you are using a Visa, MasterCard, or American Express pre-paid credit/gift card, please note the following restrictions:

• Pre-paid gift cards can't be combined with credit cards on a single order.
• Pre-paid gift cards can't be used to sign up for Amazon Prime membership.
• Some banks may require you to register pre-paid gift cards with your name and billing address by calling the number on the back of the card.
• Amazon.com does not support entering the three-digit CVV code normally found on the back of some cards. If entering the code is required by the issuing bank, your payment may not process successfully.
• We will process a $1 authorization at the time of order to make sure the payment method is valid. This authorization is not a charge, but your bank may hold the authorized funds as unavailable until the authorization expires.

PIN-less Debit Transactions on Amazon.com

When paying by debit card, we may process your payment as a PIN-less debit transaction. Although your transaction will be processed like a PIN-debit transaction, you won't have to enter your Personal Identification Number (PIN) when using your debit card. When proceeding through checkout, you'll simply need to select the option to pay with an existing debit card or enter a new debit card on the payments selection page. If the debit card is eligible to be processed as a PIN-less debit transaction, we'll do the rest.

Your financial institution may charge you a fee for payments we process as a PIN-less debit transaction. If you have any questions regarding the terms and conditions of your debit card, contact your financial institution using the telephone number found on the back of your card.

If your debit card is eligible to be processed as a PIN-less debit transaction, but you prefer to disable this feature, please see Opting Out of PIN-less Debit. You may disable the PIN-less debit transaction feature when you add the eligible debit card to your account or at any time afterwards.

Once your order is prepared for shipment, we will send a request to your bank to charge your account. Since your financial institution knows what your available financial account balance is at the time of each PIN-less debit transaction, they may decline a transaction if you have an insufficient balance available to complete your purchase.

If you typically receive rewards when making purchases using your debit card, please review your financial institution's policy on rewards issuance to determine whether you receive rewards for PIN-less debit transactions. If you have questions about earning rewards, contact your bank using the telephone number found on the back of your card.

Please note that you may see the Visa or MasterCard logo next to your card number to help identify the card you have selected as a payment method. The fact that we display that logo does not mean that your debit card transaction will be processed by Visa or MasterCard.
