It took me forever to figure out what people were talking about and I do think there is a lot of value in avoiding being spoonfed and learning everything on your own.

That all being said, I apologize if I offended you but at least I answered your question. More specifically you can only add funds to your AP account by CC or bank account. You can only add funds to your regular amazon account by gift card, though of course you can pay by CC directly. Personally I buy the amazon gc's at your local office supply store and just load them. Means a little float to amazon as I work them off but I'll take that for the 5x. FYI, they typically say Kindle on them but they get loaded into your Amazon account just the same.
No worries and thanks again. I was going along the lines of trying to maximize the Discover 5% cash back bonus category coming up on 2nd quarter 2013, which is home improvement stores. Plenty of Amazon GCs at Lowes that I was thinking of draining through AP, but good to know that doesn't work. Cash back caps out at $1,500 spend or $75, so I thought that would be a quick way to make an easy $75. Gas cards it is then.
