How to buy an Amazon gift card with Bitcoin (BTC) in 2026

Amazon doesn't accept Bitcoin as a direct payment method, and hasn't signaled any change in 2026. The simplest way to spend your BTC on Amazon, without going through an exchange and a bank transfer, is a gift card.

You buy an Amazon gift card with Bitcoin, you receive a code by email, you enter that code in your Amazon account, and the balance is credited within seconds. No link between your banking identity and the purchase.

StackGift accepts Bitcoin on-chain (Lightning isn't available). On-chain fees depend on how busy the network is, so for a €15 or €25 card a cheaper option can make sense: USDT or USDC on Tron (TRC-20), Solana, Litecoin or TRX.

For larger cards (€100 and up), paying on-chain from your own wallet — Sparrow, Electrum, a Ledger or Trezor — is straightforward, and the network fee matters less relative to the card.

1. Pick an Amazon card from the catalog, choose the amount (15, 25, 50, 100, 250 or 500 €) and the country of validity (Amazon.fr, Amazon.de, Amazon.com...).

2. Enter the email that should receive the code, then pick BTC. An address, a QR code and an exact amount appear. The amount is locked for 15 minutes.

3. Open your Bitcoin wallet (Sparrow, Electrum, BlueWallet, Trust Wallet, Exodus, or an exchange withdrawal). Scan the QR or paste the address and send exactly the amount shown, in one transaction.

4. Once the transaction confirms and is matched to your order, the Amazon gift card code is emailed to you. The first Bitcoin confirmation usually takes 10 to 30 minutes.

5. Sign in to your Amazon account, go to 'Gift cards and balance', enter the code. The balance is credited immediately.

Country matters. An Amazon.com card cannot be used on Amazon.fr, and vice versa. Check the country before buying.

Once revealed, the code can't be cancelled or refunded. Keep the email safe, and don't reveal the code if you plan to gift it.

Avoid sending BTC from a shared exchange address: prefer your own wallet. This avoids bounces and pointless delays.

You pay the card's face value converted at the live rate — StackGift adds no service fee. The only extra cost is the Bitcoin network fee, paid by your wallet, which shows it before you send.
