Getting the following error on adding GC to amazon account, it seems it requires KYC for adding GCs too .. sad

We are unable to add this gift card to your account. For Anytime Gift, you need to load before claiming

Any time GiftCards have zero value 🤔 so how is it related to KYC?

Yes apparently because there has been a rise in number of cases where GCs are purchased from a fraud account and is being sold cheaper than original value to buyers
So even flipkart is now banning account which are ordering using GCs alone and has no KYC

Nothing related to KYC here. Anytime gift card comes with zero balance. You have to load balance before gifting/using.

This is different. It’s Anytime gift cards. Not gift cards. Also, you don’t need kyc for anytime gift cards also.

You can’t redeem it probably because it is empty.

They won’t do it becoz most of customer base r non-kyc n it would hurt there business seriously that’s y majority of online site still have gift card option to overcome kyc criteria..

Umm..If we go by what Amazon has done recently to curb the misuse of offers/promotions, it is very much possible. It is only up to a point that e-commerce can suffer losses to gain customers.

I am getting this error for a voucher sent by fraud company SBI Cards. Contacted Amazon and they said "Contact SBI for reference number of this voucher".
