Is there a risk redeeming an Amazon gift card from another country?

Bitrefill states”This gift card will only work for customers who are currently located in Germany “ in every purchase page of amazon gift cards.

So I can’t add one on my Amazon.de account even though I’ve been using it for years?

Give it a try with a small card first.

Hello, if you used it before in that country and by paying with credit card or bank account, there shouldn't be a problem.

This specific account has been active for 1.5 years and I’ve made 2 major orders for this Christmas (paid by my visa). In any case, I can’t buy the amazon gift card from Bitrefill since it bans my IP.

I asked Amazon if it’s against TOS to use a gift card sent from a “German friend” of mine since I order form Amazon.de but don’t live there and they didn’t have a problem with this.

Our apologies, but we have to geo lock to avoid problems. You can buy it using a VPN.
