Easy and simple: Exact Step-by-Step Guide to Reloading Your Balance
Reload type: One Time Reload
I found reloading my Amazon gift card balance much easier than expected. The process was simple and took about 5 minutes at most. Here are the exact steps to do it:
Login: In the Amazon app or on Amazon.com, log in to your account.
Menu: Tap the 3 lines on the bottom right corner of your screen (next to Rufus, Amazon's AI).
Find Category: In the section highlighted "Shop by category," tap on Gifting & Registry (3rd option down in that section) and a drop-down menu will appear.
Select Gift Cards: On the drop-down menu, tap Gift Cards (first option).
Choose Your Action: "The Gift Card Shop" will appear. There you will have three options: "Redeem a gift card," "View your balance," and "Reload."
Start Reload: To add funds, tap Reload.
Select Type: Scroll down to "Add funds directly to your Amazon Gift Card balance" and tap which reload type you want (one-time, low balance auto-reload, or scheduled auto-reload).
Enter Amount: Choose your reload amount. The default is $25, but you can type in your own amount as well (the minimum amount is $5.00).
Finish: Tap the orange "Buy Now" tab.
***I used the Amazon app using the u i OneUI version 8.0 these Amazon app on Android version 16 (Baklava) on a Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra. Others may have a slight variation of the menu setup on the Amazon app.***

Easy way to add balance
Reload type: One Time Reload
Reloading my Amazon gift card balance has been easy and convenient. I like using it when I want to keep a little money set aside for Amazon orders or make checkout quicker without thinking about which card I want to use. The process is straightforward, the balance shows up fast, and it has been reliable every time I have used it. It is also helpful for budgeting because I can add a set amount and then use that balance for regular purchases. Nothing complicated about it, which is exactly why I like it.

Great for Budgeting – Instant Balance and Easy to Use
Reload type: One Time Reload
I use Amazon’s gift card reload feature to plan my spending. It’s perfect when I know I want to make a purchase but prefer to set the funds aside first.
I love that it’s immediate—no worries about pending charges or accidental spending from my card. It gives me peace of mind knowing that when I’m ready to buy, the balance is just sitting there, waiting.
Pros: easy to use, instant balance update, helps with budgeting and avoiding overspending
Cons: funds are locked into Amazon once reloaded, doesn’t count toward certain account requirements like review eligibility
Overall, it’s a convenient and reliable way to manage spending on Amazon, especially if you like having control over your purchases.

Great for keeping bank statements clean but random security delays are frustrating
Reload type: One Time Reload
I use the balance reload tool to manage my monthly budget and easily hit credit card sign-up bonuses. It keeps my bank statements totally clean by grouping dozens of tiny e-book and movie rental charges into one single transaction. Most of the time the whole process works flawlessly and the money shows up in my account within five minutes. It is honestly the easiest way to put a hard limit on my family's everyday online shopping.
You just need to watch out for a few annoying system quirks when you load larger amounts of money. Even though it usually works instantly the automated security filter sometimes flags big reloads and freezes the transaction for hours. This random delay is incredibly frustrating if you are trying to add cash fast to catch a lightning deal before it expires. You also have to remember that this balance is strictly non-refundable and cannot be used to buy other gift cards.
Overall this is still a great method for organizing online spending and maximizing your cash-back credit card rewards. It totally fixed how I track household purchases but you definitely have to tolerate the occasional processing delays. My best advice is to load your account a day or two before you actually need to buy a big-ticket item. It works perfectly as a budgeting tool as long as you know the rules and plan for the random security hold.
