Amazon cards may have branding for specific products or services, such as Kindle. This is irrelevant, the value can be added to your Amazon account and spent on other products.

I didn't need one for a while and now with PayPal digital coding as 1x and Gyft no longer in the game - do I have any other options? In theory Staples but I can't even remember when was the last time I saw Amazon cards there. Does anyone know if there are any options left?

Ugh. Swych doesn't have them either. The ability to buy an Amazon GC as I was making a purchase, and not have to just stock up at Staples or OD/OM was so nice. This is definitely an annoyance, even though I can easily still earn 5x on them. I'll probably just end up using my 5% Amazon Prime card most of the time instead now.

Edit: I just noticed that PayPal Digital Gifts doesn't actually have them anymore either. I still earn 5x on my Mastercard Ink Bold until the end of the month, but they don't come instantly anyway so I'd still have to wait to make my Amazon purchases that way.

Hi All,

Posted this on the Manu Spend forum too, not sure if this forum makes more sense.

I'm doing a home renovation, and want to buy Home Depot gift cards through Office Supply store for 5x on Ink. Can I do this online? I noticed Office Depot's url includes giftcardmall, so not sure if that will code as an "office" purchase on my Ink if bought online. Should I just head into the store and buy them there?

Thanks!
