Thanks.
You can't buy Amazon gift cards directly, but you can buy gift cards to Best Buy, Home Depot, Staples, and Target, which all sell tons of different types of gift cards. I'm not sure if Best Buy still does, but they used to carry Kindle gift cards, which are just Amazon gift cards under another name. Or if you're like most of us, Target gift cards are the same as cash, just like Amazon.
