    Generally speaking, there isn't much you can do to get a gift card balance back. You can try to file a claim with Amazon by contacting their customer service line or emailing them directly.

    The physical gift card code should be on the back of the card. In most cases, you'll have to scratch off a film to view the code.

    What do I do if my Amazon gift card doesn't have a number underneath?

    It will always have a number underneath, since that is how you use the card. If there isn't one there, then it is likely a fake.

    You can use these cards without the need of a credit card.

    Scanning an Amazon gift card can only be done in the mobile app. First, find the "Manage gift card balance" option under "Payment" in your account. Then, click the "scan" icon (the image of a camera). This will open your device's camera and prompt you to scan the claim code rather than typing it out.
