# Redeem a Gift Card

Once applied to your Amazon account, the entire amount will be added to your gift card balance. Your gift card balance will be applied automatically to eligible orders during the checkout process and when using 1-Click. If you don't want to use your gift card balance on your order, you can unselect it as a payment method in checkout.

3. Click Apply a Gift Card to Your Account .
4. Enter your claim code and click Apply to Your Balance.

   Note: You can also enter your claim code during checkout. You won't be able to redeem your gift card using the Amazon.com 1-Click service unless you redeem the gift card funds to Your Account first.

Note: If your order total is more than your gift card funds, the extra can be paid for by credit card.
