Who Sells Amazon Gift Cards? Full List of Stores (2026)

Amazon gift cards are some of the easiest cards in America to find — sold at tens of thousands of stores — with one notable blind spot: Amazon's direct competitors won't touch them. Here's the full picture of who sells them, who doesn't, what to watch for, and a way to end up with an Amazon card without buying one at all.

Buy direct: Amazon.com

The most flexible source is Amazon itself: eGift cards in nearly any custom amount, physical cards by mail, print-at-home options, and scheduled delivery. eGift cards usually arrive within minutes. If you're buying for someone else, this is the route with the fewest failure points — no rack tampering, no register activation issues.

Stores that sell Amazon gift cards

Availability varies by location, but Amazon cards are stocked at most major chains in these categories:

• Grocery: Whole Foods (Amazon-owned), Kroger, Safeway, Albertsons, Publix, H-E-B, Wegmans, Giant, Stop & Shop
• Drugstores: CVS, Walgreens, Rite Aid
• Convenience & fuel: 7-Eleven, Speedway, Circle K, Casey's, Wawa, QuikTrip
• Electronics & office: Best Buy, Staples, Office Depot/OfficeMax
• Dollar stores: Dollar General and Family Dollar carry them in many locations

If a chain has a gift card rack ("gift card mall"), odds are good Amazon is on it. Physical racks typically carry fixed $25/$50/$100 cards plus variable-load cards in a $25–$500 range.

Who does NOT sell Amazon gift cards

• Walmart — sells its own cards and hundreds of other brands, but not its biggest competitor's.
• Target — same story.
• Costco — focuses on discounted third-party cards for other brands; Amazon isn't one of them.

If you're standing in a Walmart looking for an Amazon card, the nearest stop is usually a grocery store or pharmacy across the lot.

Three things to watch when buying in person

1. Inspect the packaging. Card-rack tampering is a real scam: thieves record card numbers, reseal the package, and drain the balance after activation. Skip any card with damaged packaging or an exposed PIN.
2. Keep the activation receipt until the balance is redeemed — it's your proof if the card fails to activate.
3. Never buy "discounted" Amazon cards from auction sites or social media sellers. Heavily discounted codes are almost always stolen or already-spent. There's no legitimate secondary market selling Amazon cards at deep discounts.

The no-purchase route: swap for one

Here's the angle most "where to buy" guides skip: if you already have a gift card you won't use — a store you don't shop, a restaurant that isn't nearby — you don't need to buy an Amazon card at all. On FlipGift you can swap that unwanted card peer-to-peer for an Amazon card at full value, with no fees and both balances verified before the trade. Amazon is consistently one of the most in-demand brands on the swap pool, so matches tend to be fast.

Bottom line

Amazon gift cards are sold at virtually every grocery, drug, and convenience chain — plus Amazon.com for custom amounts — and conspicuously absent from Walmart, Target, and Costco. Buy from a reputable rack, inspect the packaging, and if you're sitting on a different brand's unwanted card, a swap gets you to the same destination without spending a dollar.
