Redeeming a Gift Certificate

To redeem your Amazon.co.uk gift certificate (which has a 14 digit claim code), simply follow the steps below.

  1. Select the items you wish to order, using your Shopping Basket. (Please note, you cannot use the 1-Click shopping method when redeeming a gift certificate.)
  2. In the order form, you'll see a box that says "Have you got a gift certificate or promotional code?".
  3. Enter your claim code into the box and click the "Apply" button.

You will be able to see that the value of your gift certificate has been deducted from the total cost in the order summary.

When you have successfully placed your order, the following message will be displayed: "Thank you--we have received your order".

If the value of your gift certificate exceeds your order value, any remaining balance is added to your gift certificate account. You will be given the option to use that balance when you place future orders.

If your order total exceeds the value of your gift certificate you will be asked to provide a credit or debit card number or redeem another gift certificate to pay the balance.
