Something seems to have changed on Amazon recently. I used to be able to buy gold or silver coins with gift cards, but lately, that seems to be changing.
I wouldn't normally recommend buying gold or silver from Amazon, but in my case, I get gift cards from work, so it doesn't really matter. I don't have anything else to spend it on, so why not gold and silver, which are real money?
I found a cool 50 Sen Japanese coin I wanted. It qualified for Prime shipping, so I added it to the cart.
When I went to check out, I saw the gift card balance wasn't applied. I checked my payment method settings to make sure using the gift card was enabled, and I saw this lovely notice:
How nice of them. I'll have to experiment further and see if they'll at least let me use it on collectible coins as a workaround. Make sure you check before committing to paying, or you may be out money and having to find another use for your gift card!
In the meantime, I found another unique piece of silver it would let me purchase with it, so I'll showcase that when it arrives in the next couple of weeks.
