So, I always keep a Gift Card balance at Amazon. That way when I buy books or apps or movies, I don't end up with a bunch of relatively small charges on my credit card.
In the past, what I'd have to do to fill it up, if needed, was to go and send myself an email gift certificate. Then, once I get that certificate, I'd have to redeem it so it would post to my account.
Well, I recently got a windfall -- a sort of attaboy from work because I got finished some training by an early deadline -- that was posted to a prepaid card I basically never use. Except I have it stored at Amazon. So I went to buy a GC with it and send it to myself.
But, I guess I'm not the only person who likes to keep a GC balance! Today when I clicked the 'gift card' link near the top of the Amazon page, one of the options was 'reload your balance'! Clicking that gave an explanation of the program with a prominent button. Once I clicked there, I could specify the card to use to reload the balance -- you have to re-enter the number to be sure it's really you -- and I was basically done. Yay!
And then I came straight back here to share.
