Amazon Gift Cards: Buy, Sell & Check Rates

Amazon Gift Cards: Buy, Sell, Rates & Safety [2026]

Amazon gift cards have become one of the most widely traded digital assets in Nigeria. They circulate as a practical store of value — used to shop on Amazon directly, gifted between family members abroad and at home, and increasingly exchanged for Naira when the recipient has no immediate use for them. Their global acceptance and fixed denominations make them easy to verify and straightforward to trade, which is why they consistently rank among the most requested cards on exchange platforms.

This page is the central hub for every Amazon gift card guide on Cardhorse. From here you can find step-by-step walkthroughs on how to buy Amazon gift cards, how to sell them for cash in Nigeria, how to check a card's balance and confirm it is active, and how to handle common problems such as an invalid code or a card that has already been redeemed. There are also dedicated guides on spotting scams and understanding what affects the rate you receive on any given day.

If you have an unused Amazon gift card and want to convert it to Naira, Cardhorse lets you do that at a live market rate. The process is handled through a verified platform, payment is made directly to your Nigerian bank account or mobile wallet, and the rate displayed at the time you submit your card is the rate applied to your transaction. No guesswork, no waiting to negotiate with a stranger online.

Rates for Amazon cards move with dollar demand and platform liquidity, so the amount you receive today may differ from what you would receive next week. The guides linked on this page explain the factors that influence rates, how to time a sale, and what card formats — eGift codes versus claim codes, for example — are accepted and at what value. Whether you are selling a single card or trading regularly, the information here covers the full picture.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I sell an Amazon gift card for Naira on Cardhorse?

Yes. Cardhorse accepts Amazon gift cards and pays out directly in Nigerian Naira to your bank account. You submit your card details through the platform, the card is verified, and payment is processed at the rate shown at the time of your transaction. The supported card formats and minimum amounts are covered in the dedicated selling guide.

Why do Amazon gift card rates change from day to day?

Rates fluctuate based on dollar demand, the volume of cards being traded on the platform, and broader foreign exchange conditions. A card worth $100 face value does not always convert to the same Naira amount. Checking the live rate on Cardhorse before you trade gives you the current figure rather than an estimate.

Are Amazon gift cards bought outside Nigeria valid to sell?

Generally yes. Amazon gift cards issued in the United States are the most widely accepted. Cards issued in other regions — such as the United Kingdom or Canada — may be accepted at a different rate or subject to additional checks. The buying guide on this page explains which card types apply.

What is the difference between an Amazon eGift card and a physical Amazon gift card?

An eGift card is delivered by email and contains a digital claim code. A physical card has a scratch-off panel concealing the code. Both types carry the same redemption code format, and both can typically be traded on Cardhorse. The key thing is that the code must be unused and unscratched cards should be photographed clearly for verification.

What should I do if my Amazon gift card code shows as already redeemed?

If a code you received shows as redeemed and you have not used it yourself, the first step is to contact whoever gave you the card and request proof of purchase. If you purchased the card directly, contact Amazon support with your order details. The troubleshooting guide on this page walks through each scenario and explains what documentation you will need to escalate the issue.
