If you have an Amazon account it's easy to add the amount as a gift card that will go toward future purchases, instructions have been discussed in this thread.
Here you can!!!
Paper check for $18.01 for 'initial something'. That'll cover a 6 pack of Dogfish Head 90 Minute IPA with a few bucks to spare. Yes, MBTD !
I tried this and it didn't work for me. It rejected the virtual debit card as a method of payment. When I resubmitted it, they canceled the order. This it turning into a growing PITA to use the money. How come this works for you but not for me (and someone else, too)?
Not sure why it didn't work, I've done the same thing multiple times with I've received other similar cards. Maybe login to your virtual card and check if there are any transactions listed against the card. The only thing I can think of why it would not be accepted is if the Amazon gift card order being placed is more than the amount remaining on the virtual card.
This is what I did. I added the debit card to the list of credit cards I already had on file with Amazon. No problem. But when I tried to buy an Amazon gift card for the exact amount of the debit card's value, the payment got rejected. Once again, this stuff works for others but not for me (and others). At least I will soon get a physical card I can use at a POS terminal. That had better work for me.
