2-Amazon Gift Card

 

This survey reward is also a favorite of survey takers, Amazon as an online retailer offers many sorts of products and services that have earned through the years a high reputation and confidence.

A little bit of history:

Jeff Bezos founded Amazon from his garage in Bellevue, Washington on July 5, 1994.

It started as an online marketplace for books but expanded to sell electronics, software, video games, apparel, furniture, food, toys, and jewelry.

In 2015, Amazon surpassed Walmart as the most valuable retailer in the United States by market capitalization.

In 2017, Amazon acquired Whole Foods Market for US$13.4 billion, which substantially increased its footprint as a physical retailer.

In 2018, its two-day delivery service, Amazon Prime, surpassed 100 million subscribers worldwide.

This reward option is so popular that rivals PayPal and sometimes surpasses it.

But the main issue is that Amazon uses its gift cards as a currency in their online store and Paypal is a worldwide payment processor, so any statistic will go in favor of Paypal from the business perspective.

But for us is more important to know wish one people prefer it as a reward when cashing out their earnings from the survey panels.

Sadly there are too many survey panels and none share this information with the public so we are going to take this statistic from our database at IOpenUSA Paid Online Surveys.

We took a sample of 1000 random active panelists per month that requested payments through Paypal, Amazon, Visa GiftCard, and G-Codes the last year.

As we can see Paypal was the most popular reward, followed by Amazon Codes, then Visa Gift Cards, and G-codes last.

When it comes to redemption, Amazon Gift Cards can be redeemed in two ways:

How to Redeem Amazon Gift Card

• In order to use your Gift Card, log in to your Amazon account.
• At the top bar, select Amazon Pay and then click on the option to add a Gift Card

Frequently Asked Questions

• What is a prepaid digital token?

A Prepaid Digital Token is a 14-digit alpha-numeric code. A Token is given to you as a reward or payment for an incentive, promotion, or another type of approved program, and will usually be embedded in an email link. When you click the link or enter a valid Token, you can choose from various prepaid card products approved for the program.

• Do prepaid digital tokens expire?

Yes. The Prepaid Digital Token has an expiration date, following the Program Sponsor’s rules. Prepaid Digital Tokens can’t be used after expiration, so please pay attention to the date.

• Why do i need to create a username and password?

If you may get multiple Prepaid Digital Tokens, you’ll be able to create a password-protected Digital Wallet, where you can see all your cards in one place including card details, mail dates, balances, PINs, spend history, and more.

• Why do i need to provide my address?.

The address will be used to mail a physical plastic card to you if you choose to get a physical card. The card address is also an important part of making sure you can successfully use your virtual or physical card. Most web merchants run address verification when you check out, to make sure that the address of the card and the address you give the merchant are a match. If you move or need to make an address correction for any reason, you can edit the card address at any time.

• What does save for later mean?.

When choosing your card, you may see an option that allows you to save your Prepaid Digital Token for later. This option saves your token so you can combine the value of that token with other tokens at a later date to get one card for a larger value. You can view or combine your Saved Tokens by logging in and clicking on ‘Saved Tokens’. Be sure to notice the expiration date of the Prepaid Digital Token, because expiration still applies to saved tokens.

What to do if you have unused valance in your virtual visa debit card.

If you use this reward you will find this scenario.

For example, your card cash was 28,50 USD after the fee for joining several tokens.

you used the valance to purchase “x – product at x-Store” and you have 7 USD left on the card.

And don’t know what to use it for ?.

Here is a solution that surely you will like!!!

1-How To Use A Visa Gift Card On Amazon

1. Go to Amazon’s ‘Reload Your Balance’ page
2. Enter the amount on your Visa gift card
3. Sign in to your account; this step is required even if you’re already logged into your Amazon account
4. Click on ‘Edit’ in the payment method box; you’ll then be redirected to a new page where you’ll click ‘Add a card’
5. Enter your gift card information in the specified fields and click next; if you’re unsure as to which name is on the card, there is a balance check number on the back of the card that you can call to reference the information
6. Select your gift card as the payment method and click ‘Done’
7. You’ll then be redirected to the reload your balance screen; verify the amount of the gift card and then click the ‘Reload’ button

Still, wondering why this is useful? Imagine you have seven Visa gift cards with funds ranging from $1.89 to $17.54. Instead of using each gift card separately, you can combine your Visa gift card balance for a lump sum of money to spend on Amazon. As an added bonus, there is no minimum or maximum amount required on your Visa gift card to reload your Amazon gift card balance.

Don’t forget that your Visa gift card may have an expiration date. Reloading your Amazon balance is a great way to avoid losing the funds!

2-How to Add a Gift Card to PayPal

1. Log into your PayPal Wallet on a desktop computer.

2. Click “Link a debit or credit card.”

3. Tap “Link a card manually” if given the option to link manually or through a bank.

4. Enter the gift card information.

5. Tap “Link Card.”

Sometimes, you might run into an error trying to add a gift card to your PayPal account as a payment method because gift cards lack personal identifiers, unlike traditionally issued credit cards.

If you run into this kind of trouble, register your gift card — there should be instructions on the card that will direct you to a website for registration.

 

Conclusion

These survey rewards are awesome for anyone, the wide use of visa and the acceptance between merchants makes it a viable reward.

Sadly it has some fees but  is  great for buying online without using your real credit or debit card, meaning your information is not at risk, and neither is your bank account money 😉

To increase your visa wallet valance we recommend you make money with surveys online.

Is not only an excellent way to make money online, but you will also be part of the Market-research process.
