Amazon and crypto

Why a gift card is the way to spend crypto on Amazon

Amazon does not take Bitcoin, USDT or any other coin as a payment method. What it does take, on every eligible order, is the gift card balance in your account.

So you swap the coins for an Amazon claim code, add it to your account once, and the balance pays for your next orders before your card is touched. There is no card number to share and no bank in the middle.

Each code belongs to one Amazon store, such as Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de. We sell codes for eight of them. The fee is 1.5% on top, so a $100 card is worth exactly $100 at Amazon.

Your options

Can you pay Amazon with crypto directly?

No. Amazon takes cards, some local methods and its own gift cards. Anyone spending coins there goes through one of these routes.

The usual workarounds

  • A crypto debit card means an exchange account, ID checks and card fees
  • Selling to a bank first adds days before you can shop
  • Peer-to-peer gift card trades leave you waiting on a stranger
  • Fine if you already hold a crypto card that Amazon accepts

Before you start

Four things for your Amazon code

An Amazon account

On one of the eight stores we sell codes for.

An email for the code

Yours, or the inbox of the person you are buying for.

Coins in any wallet

BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, SOL, XRP or XMR.

$50 or more

Up to $1,000 a card. Split bigger spends over two orders.

Spend it

What Amazon balance pays for

Everyday ordersElectronics, clothing, home goods and the rest of the catalog, paid from your balance.

Kindle books and digital items

Ebooks and other digital purchases your store lets gift card balance pay for.

Budgeted shopping

Load only what you plan to spend, so the balance never sits idle.

A presentPut a friend's email on the order and the code goes straight to them.

Price and delivery

1.5% on top, a code in minutes

You pay the card value plus 1.5%, with nothing hidden in the rate. The coin you send decides how soon the code goes out.

Example

Gift card value$100.00
Zilligo fee (1.5%)$1.50
You send in crypto$101.50

Your coin's network cost is on top: a fraction of a cent on Solana or XRP, about $2 to $4 for USDT on Tron.

On a $50 or $100 card, send Solana or XRP: the network cost is a fraction of a cent. For bigger cards, USDT on Tron keeps a steady dollar value and costs about $2 to $4 to send.

Where it works

Eight Amazon stores, nine countries

An Amazon code only loads into an account on the store it was issued for. Nigeria has no Amazon store of its own, so shoppers there use Amazon.com codes.

Amazon's rules

How Amazon treats a gift card balance

Amazon sets these rules, not us. They are worth knowing before you choose a value.

Two stores can share a currency and still be separate, like Amazon.de and other euro stores. Match the store, not the currency.

Before you order

Six tips for Amazon codes

  1. 1

    Find your store first

    It is the Amazon address you sign in to and where your past orders sit. Moved abroad? Your account may still belong to the old store.

  2. 2

    Pick your store at checkout

    Choose the Amazon store your account uses, from Amazon.com to Amazon.co.uk or Amazon.de, so the code is issued for the right one.

  3. 3

    Ask the person you are gifting

    Check which Amazon site they shop on. A guessed store is how a gift code goes to waste.

  4. 4

    Use a cheap coin on small cards

    A $2 network cost on a $50 card adds another 4%. Solana and XRP cost almost nothing.

  5. 5

    Paying with XRP? Add the tag

    Your order shows a destination tag. Without it, the payment cannot be matched to your card.

  6. 6

    Treat the code like cash

    Whoever redeems it first gets the balance. No real company or government office asks to be paid in gift cards.

Help

Amazon code problems, solved

Amazon says the code is for another store

The code and your account belong to different stores, and Amazon does not move balance between them. Contact support with your order reference before you try again.

Amazon says the code was already redeemed

Check your gift card balance and its history first, as it may have gone in on an earlier try. If not, send support your order reference and Amazon's exact message.

The code has not arrived

Look in spam and promotions, then at your order page. If your coins confirmed and nothing came, message support with the reference.

My balance was not used at checkout

On the payment step, make sure the option to use your gift card balance is ticked before you place the order.

FAQ

Amazon gift cards and crypto, answered

Problem with a code? Contact support with your order reference, we usually reply within an hour.

How do I buy an Amazon gift card with crypto?

Choose Amazon, enter the value and the email for the code, and send the coins shown on your order page. The claim code is emailed once they confirm.

Can I buy an Amazon gift card with Bitcoin?

Yes. Choose Bitcoin as your coin. It usually confirms in 10 to 30 minutes, and the code is sent right after.

Which Amazon stores do your codes work on?

Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk, Amazon.de, Amazon.ca, Amazon.com.mx, Amazon.in, Amazon.com.tr and Amazon.ae. Each code works on its own store only.

Can I use a US code on Amazon.co.uk?

No. Amazon keeps a separate balance for each store, and a code from one cannot be redeemed on another.

How much does it cost?

The card value plus 1.5%, plus your coin's network cost. A $100 card costs $101.50 from us, so the card is worth the full $100.

What values can I buy?

From $50 to $1,000 per order. For more, place a second order.

Can I buy it for someone else?

Yes. Put their email on the order or pass the code on privately. Once they redeem it, the balance stays on their account.

Can I turn the balance back into cash?

No. Amazon does not let you withdraw gift card balance or move it to another account. If you want money, pick a bank or wallet payout instead.

Do Amazon gift cards expire?

Amazon sets the terms for each store, including any expiry. Check the gift card terms on your store's help pages.

Is a virtual Visa cheaper for Amazon?

No. Our virtual Visa costs 2%, plus a $10 issuing fee on your first card, against 1.5% for an Amazon gift card. The card works on other sites too, while a gift card skips the card step and goes straight into your Amazon balance.

Do I need an account?

Yes, a free Zilligo account that takes about a minute to set up. After that, the only detail we need is an email for the code.

Is buying a gift card with crypto taxed?

Spending crypto usually counts as selling it, which is taxable in many countries. This is general information, not tax advice, so keep your order reference and check your local rules.
