With Amazon incentives you are not buying card by card. Similar to Tango and other incentive programs, you have to prepay -- you are ordering codes in bulk up front. For example if you are ordering monthly, it would be one large charge each month.

I would reach out to Amazon and see if they know how it codes? I would think it will look more like a B2B service charge vs. a gift card type of transaction code.(as stated above you are effectively opening up credit with them -- and then choosing to pre-pay the credit via credit card instead of bank transfer --
