[Alert]Amazon -Be aware, adding gift cards requires KYC too

…what will happen to those accounts which have some money or card in them?….is kyc needed to use them?….

Yes apparently because there has been a rise in number of cases where GCs are purchased from a fraud account and is being sold cheaper than original value to buyers
So even flipkart is now banning account which are ordering using GCs alone and has no KYC

Are you sure, it wasn’t asking till evening. Try redeeming the gift card code from the app as well see if that works.

Nothing related to KYC here. Anytime gift card comes with zero balance. You have to load balance before gifting/using.

This is different. It’s Anytime gift cards. Not gift cards. Also, you don’t need kyc for anytime gift cards also.

You can’t redeem it probably because it is empty.

Any proof

They won’t do it becoz most of customer base r non-kyc n it would hurt there business seriously that’s y majority of online site still have gift card option to overcome kyc criteria..

Check your gift card source don’t blame amazon

I am getting this error for a voucher sent by fraud company SBI Cards. Contacted Amazon and they said "Contact SBI for reference number of this voucher".
