Before explaining to you how to use an Amazon voucher, I want to provide you with some preliminary information relating to the use and operation of the same.

The Amazon gift card can be purchased for the purpose of redeeming it personally or to give it to other people; it is available in various denominations (for example 10 € or 15 €) and can be purchased in paper format (for example it can be purchased in some stores) or it can be purchased online and printed personally.
