Sending an Amazon gift card via email is the fastest way to give a personalized present directly to someone's inbox. To send an Amazon gift card via email, start by signing into your Amazon account and navigating to the gift cards section.
Navigate to the Email Gift Cards Section
After signing into your Amazon account, hover over the "Accounts & Lists" dropdown menu at the top-right corner of the homepage. From that menu, select "Gift Cards" under the "Your Account" section. On the gift cards page, you will see several options including "Email gift cards," "Print at home," "Mail gift cards," and "Redeem gift cards." Click on "Email gift cards" to begin creating your eGift card. This is where you can pick a design for your gift card and customize every detail before sending it. If the recipient never receives the email, you may need to email Amazon customer service to trace the delivery status, or contact Amazon prime directly if your membership benefits include priority support.
Choose a Design and Amount
On the email gift cards page, you will find a variety of pre-designed templates sorted by occasion such as birthdays, holidays, graduations, and weddings. You can scroll through these designs and click on the one that best fits the recipient or the event. If you want something more personal, Amazon also allows you to upload your own custom photo to use as the gift card design. After selecting your design, move to the amount section. Amazon offers preset denominations you can choose from, or you can enter a custom amount. The minimum amount for an Amazon eGift card can be $5.00, and the maximum can be $2,000, giving you plenty of flexibility to match your budget.
Enter the Recipient, Message, and Delivery Date
Once you have chosen a design and amount, the next step is to enter the recipient's email address in the designated field. Double-check this address for accuracy, as it is where the gift card will be delivered. Below the email field, you will find a space to write a personalized message. This is your opportunity to add a heartfelt note, congratulations, or any sentiment that makes the gift more meaningful. After writing your message, you can choose the delivery date. You have the option to send the gift card immediately by selecting the current date, or you can schedule it for a specific future date to arrive on a birthday, holiday, or other special occasion. This scheduling feature ensures your gift arrives exactly when you want it to.
Review and Complete Your Purchase
Before finalizing, you will be taken to a final order review page. Take a moment to carefully verify all the details: the recipient's email address, the gift card amount, your personalized message, and the scheduled delivery date. If anything needs to be changed, most review pages allow you to edit the information before proceeding. Once you are satisfied that everything is correct, enter your payment information using the secure payment gateway. Click the button to finalize the order and send the gift card. Amazon will then process the transaction and deliver the eGift card to the recipient's email inbox on the date you selected. You will receive a confirmation of your order, which may include an order number and a summary of the gift card details.
