5.0 out of 5 stars Happy with gift certificates, October 28, 2007
By S. Gruer (Mexico, Mo United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I receive two Amazon gift certificates each year from my aunt in Germany and have always been happy with my purchases. It gives her the freedom to send me a gift without the hassle of mailing it and gives me the freedom of getting just what I want. I love it! There are lots of stores to buy from. I have bought, books, music, quesadilla maker, bassinet, the list goes on. No hassles, no lines in the stores, ships right to my door. Thanks Amazon for making shopping online enjoyable and easy.

Not sure what the problem with Gift Certificates is. I thought I hadn't received it, but found out that somehow I accidentally deleted it without looking at it... Love that I can save my GC in my account and use it whenever without having to try to save the email with the info! Very useful!

1.0 out of 5 stars WHY CAN'T YOU BUY MP3'S WITH GIFT CERTIFICATES?, October 21, 2007
By W. Steele "Wil" (San Diego, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I'll admit that I didn't read the fine print but, you should make it CLEAR that you can't buy MP3's with Amazon gift certificates or enable us to buy MP3's. I bought my daughter a gift certificate so she could buy the MP3's that she wants with out needing my credit card for EVERY SONG (which is another headache). So thanks Amazon for making it clear before I went and bought this c#$%^py gift certificate for my daughter I'm sure you just made a customer for life in her as well.

2.0 out of 5 stars Will not be purchasing..., October 17, 2007
By Charles Lehardy (Tucson, AZ, USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I am very thankful that I read the full terms and conditions on the Gift Certificates before I bought one because it saved me from wasting money. As other people have stated, Amazon Gift Certificates are not good for anything that is downloaded. This includes Amazon's MP3 and Unbox services.

I don't understand the motives for not allowing MP3 and Unbox downloads to be purchased with a Gift Certificate, but I do know that it will keep me from giving MP3 downloads as a gift this Christmas. It would be great if Amazon changed their policy, but until then do be aware of those restrictions.

1.0 out of 5 stars Why can't I just print it out?, October 7, 2007
I'd like to be able to print out the gift certificate on my printer without amazon sending an email to spoil the surprise, but it looks like I can't do this. Why not?

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Experience, October 7, 2007
I ordered the gift certificate for myself using a Visa gift card that I had (FYI - I did this b/c you can't use both a Visa g/c + a credit card to pay for a purchase). I had the amazon gift certificate sent to my own email which I received the same day within hours of placing the order. I had no problems with the purchase or receipt of the g/c from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 stars I didn't know as consumers we need to be Force Feed Info, October 3, 2007

Payment Methods We Accept

The Amazon MP3 Music Downloads store uses the 1-Click ordering method, which requires a Debit Card or Credit Card as the payment method. Payment methods such as Pay Directly from Your Bank Account, checks, Gift Certificates, or promotional certificates are not accepted for Amazon MP3 Music orders.

Cant really blame anyone but yourself.

It took itunes something like a year and a half before Gift cards where accepted.

Just step up and read before you buy.

5.0 out of 5 stars Wonderfull!!!, September 30, 2007
I have to admit I was some what afraid to purchase a gift certificate do to all the negative feedback. I decided to give it a chance since I already had a great customer service experience here at Amazon. I must say I was far from disappointed. I chose a gift certificate by e-mail and it arrived within one hour. I will defiantly use this service again!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, September 29, 2007
I've had gift certificates sent to me and they have arrived in as little as 10 minutes and as long as 6 hours. Still, they do say a few hours so it was expected.

I've got to say, I was nervous after seeing all of the other bad reviews. I thought I would stay on top of it. Sent the gift certificate at 3:00 to my nephew. Let my brother know to be on the look out and check junk mail file etc. By 5 he e-mailed me saying it was there. Really pleased.
