Gifting abroad
Buy the card for the store the recipient actually uses — a cousin in Berlin almost certainly shops on amazon.de, not amazon.com.
Guide
Amazon gift cards: pick the right region
The one rule that decides whether your card works: the card region must match the store the account shops on. Here is how to get it right every time.
Get the region right in three checks
-
Find the store the account uses
Look at the address bar when the recipient shops: amazon.com, amazon.fr, amazon.de, amazon.co.uk… That domain IS the region. An account can exist on several stores, but each store keeps its own separate balance.
-
Match card to store at checkout
On the GiftSpend product page, pick the region whose store matches — the store domain and currency are printed on the selector, so amazon.fr / EUR means exactly that.
-
Redeem on that same store
Enter the code on the matching domain (Account → Gift cards → Redeem). The balance appears instantly and applies automatically at the next checkout on that store.
Common situations
Expats and travelers
Your account follows the store you registered on, not your GPS position. Moving country usually means creating a balance on the new local store.
Bought the wrong region?
Codes cannot be converted between stores. Unredeemed codes make a fine re-gift for someone in the right country — or open a support ticket and we will see what is possible.
Quick answers
Does an amazon.com card work in Canada?
No — Canada is amazon.ca, a separate store with its own balance. Buy the CA card for Canadian accounts.
Do Amazon gift card balances expire?
No. Once redeemed, the balance stays on the account indefinitely.
Can I combine cards from different regions?
Only codes for the same store stack into one balance. Cards from different stores stay separate forever.
Which regions does GiftSpend sell?
Thirteen Amazon stores — from amazon.com and amazon.co.uk to amazon.co.jp and amazon.ae. The full list with currencies is on the product page.
