Need an Amazon gift card, but not sure where to get one? You have two main routes: buy a digital code online for instant delivery, or pick up a physical card in a shop. This guide compares both so you can choose the fastest, safest option for your situation.
At dundle, an authorised prepaid reseller that has been selling digital codes since 2012, you can buy an Amazon gift card online for more than 20 countries and receive the code by email within seconds (no account required). Pick your region:
United Kingdom: Amazon gift card for the UK
United States: Amazon gift card for the US
Canada: Amazon gift card for Canada
Australia: Amazon gift card for Australia
Buy Amazon Gift Cards Online (Fastest Option)
Buying online is the quickest way to get an Amazon gift card, because the code is delivered digitally rather than shipped. There are two main online routes:
Trusted reseller: buy digital Amazon gift cards for over 20 countries, pay with PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay or one of 36+ other secure methods, and get your code by email in seconds. You also have the option to checkout with or without an account.
Amazon directly: Amazon sells its own gift cards by email, print-at-home, or physical delivery. You'll need an existing Amazon account to buy this way.
Online delivery is available 24/7, which makes it ideal for last-minute gifts, quick top-ups, or sending credit to someone in another country. That eliminates the stress of navigating store opening hours.
Buy Amazon Gift Cards In-Store
If you'd rather hand someone a physical card, you can buy Amazon gift cards at many supermarkets, pharmacies and convenience stores — though the chains vary from country to country. In the US, look at retailers like Walmart, Target, Best Buy, CVS and Walgreens; in the UK, stores such as Tesco, Sainsbury's, WHSmith and Argos; in Canada, Shoppers Drug Mart, Canadian Tire and Walmart; and in Australia, Woolworths, Coles, Big W and Australia Post. You'll usually find them near the checkout or in the gift card aisle. (Retailer selection varies by location and store, and can change over time — check availability at your local branch before making a special trip.)
Physical cards are great when you want something tangible to give, but they come with trade-offs: you have to travel to the shop, denominations can be limited to what's on the rack, and there's no instant digital delivery if you're in a hurry.
How to Choose Where to Buy
Wherever you buy, a few checks help you avoid unwanted surprises:
A trusted seller: look for an established retailer or authorised reseller with a long track record and consistent customer reviews.
A secure website: the URL should start with https:// and (in many cases) show a padlock before you enter any payment details.
Instant delivery: for digital codes, your gift card should arrive by email right after payment.
The correct region: Amazon gift cards are region-locked, so always pick the country that matches the Amazon store where the card will be redeemed.
Tip: Whichever seller you choose, check the website URL starts with https:// and never share your gift card code with anyone who contacts you outside the normal checkout process. Legitimate sellers will never ask you to hand it over.
What Values Can You Buy?
Amazon gift cards come in a range of set values, so you can match the amount to what you need, be it a small top-up, a specific purchase, or a generous gift. Online, you'll typically see more flexibility than the fixed denominations often stocked on a physical rack in-store. Exact amounts depend on your region — roughly $5 to $100 in the US, £5 to £100 in the UK, from CA$5 in Canada, and A$5 to A$100 in Australia. If you're buying for a particular item, it's worth checking the price first so you load enough credit in one go.
Some suggestions:
Small values (quick top-ups): ideal for covering small digital purchases like eBooks or movie rentals, or topping off an existing account balance.
Custom item amounts (targeted purchases): perfect when shopping for a specific product — check the final price first so you load the exact amount needed in one go.
Larger values (generous gifts): best for major occasions like holidays, weddings, or graduations, giving the freedom to fund larger purchases or big-ticket items.
Which Option Is Right for You?
If you need the card now, want to send it remotely, or you're shopping across regions, a digital code from a trusted reseller is the fastest and most flexible choice. If you specifically want a physical card to give in person, an in-store purchase makes sense. Either way, redeeming is quick — once you have the code, you apply it to the matching Amazon account and the credit is ready to spend.
