Hi All,

I have a bunch of Amazon gift cards, and I really like using them for my guilty little pleasures like RC Planes, PC Hardware, and GAMES!

I am really digging MWO to the exclusion of my RC plane and PC building, so the Amazon cards are kinda piling up. I'd sure like to get some spiffy paint and a few Mech packs at the store.

Any way to use my Amazon gift cards?!?! I sure hope so. Thanks!

Unlikely to no.
Accepted forms of payment include: Mastercard, Visa, American Express (the card coincidentally accepted anywhere but most stores in America), Paypal, and something called Global Payments.

If Amazon gift cards would be accepted, it'd be under global payments.
However I doubt it. Gift cards, are by their very nature, only honored by the companies that issue them. This is because the money for them is already paid to them, and thus is honored by them as the giftcard is proof that someone has already paid for your products before you even know what you want to buy.

Thing is, PGI isn't Amazon, and thus PGI has not been 'prepaid' with the money you gave to Amazon since it went to Amazon and not PGI.

Much like the clerk at Walmart would look at you funny when you try to pay with your Mcdonald's giftcard.
