You can use a Visa gift card like any other Visa debit card. If you know the balance of the card and plan to buy an item within that card balance, add the card as a payment method. The Visa gift card will have a 16-digit card number, expiry date, and security code. Your name and address should work. But the gift card will have a number on the back that you can call to confirm what additional information to use.

What if the item you want to buy is more expensive than the gift card balance? Or what if the card has a residual balance that you can’t really use anywhere? Amazon doesn’t let you split payments using two cards, but there is a way to use your Amazon gift card balance. Use the Amazon Reload option to add funds to your Amazon gift card balance. Choose Other and enter the exact amount remaining on your Visa gift card. Click on Buy now and add the Visa gift card as the payment method. Don’t forget to delete the card as a payment method when it’s fully spent!
