Amazon gift card is the second most popular choice this season. If you are opting for an Amazon gift card then you have millions of people to give you company. As is the case with all gift cards, there are some advantages and some disadvantages. Amazon gift card certainly has more pros than cons but you should be the judge of that based on your circumstances.
Here is a brief list of the pros and cons of an Amazon gift card.
P – The biggest advantage is ease. Amazon is a giant. It is the largest ecommerce company in the world. It has been expanding rapidly and now it has very little competition to be anxious about, although there are many ecommerce sites doing very well. With an Amazon gift card, you are actually allowing the recipient a great deal of leverage. Amazon offers a convenient browsing, shopping and buying experience. No one is alien to Amazon and most families have bought at least one item from the site in the past. This makes Amazon gift card a very popular choice. Besides, you get to buy an Amazon gift card in no time and without any hassles. Even if you forget buying a gift till the last minute, you can always get one and send it immediately to the recipient. Virtual copies of gift cards or the notifications are just as good today as the physical gift cards of the past.
P – The second biggest advantage, by some opinions the best pro, of an Amazon gift card is choice. Amazon opens up a world of goodies. One can buy almost anything on the site. From books to gloves, rare herbal teas to something you may have never heard of before, there are choices galore. As convenient it is for a buyer to choose the amount for the gift card, it is equally easy if not easier to buy something that one actually wants. Most gift cards limit the choices because of their limited inventory. That’s certainly not the case with an Amazon gift card.
C – Depending on the product that one chooses there may be limited stock on the site which is possibly the only concerning disadvantage or shortcoming of an Amazon gift card. But there are several sellers of a specific product which does counter the con to an extent.
C – Using an Amazon gift card would not immediately land a gift in one’s hands. Delivery would take time, especially as shipping takes a while during the holiday season.
