Introduction
Amazon gift cards make great gifts for almost everyone. However, before you can start shopping, you have to add the Amazon gift card to your account so the funds will be available for you to spend. Activating your Amazon gift card and adding those funds to your account using the Amazon app on your iPhone, iPad or Android device only takes a few minutes. Examples of all instructions in the steps can be seen in both the YouTube video above and the image collection located beneath the steps.
