Amazon Pay has restricted me to use Credit Cards for buying Gift Cards 🥺

Guys I have tried multiple accounts of Amazon to buy Gift Cards which I have been doing since long. But from past few days, it's not allowing me to buy Gift Cards through Credit Card.

I thought only my account is restricted, but when I tried doing the same through one of my friend's account and entered my Credit Card details, it said "your credit card is saved but you can't use it for this payment method".

Is there any way out? I need to use my SBI Cashback credit card (for obvious reasons). And my last date of the insurance payment is coming in 2 days 😢

I think they are slowing restricting for everyone. Your turn came first.

Amazon has some policy regarding total amount of gift cards to be purchased in a given specific time.Your card and account limit of buying gift cards is exhausted.It will reset in future, maybe after  30-60 days.After that, you can buy gift card from your credit card.

That's user specific/technical glitch in the mobile app. Working fine up to 1 Lac on the desktop site.

Try on desktop site.

I was getting this 10k issue on the app for LIC payment but worked smoothly on the desktop site.

Is there any way these can be used to make insurance payment?

Order something using amazon and immediately cancel it.

Select 'Add to amazon wallet' as refund method.

Alternatively you can buy amazon gift card from any 3rd party website using sbi cc

Yes, in my long tenure of using Millenia cc on smart buy to amazon gift card, only last month I had spent 12.5K on bill payments, 2.5K on e-gift card, and 5k on physical AZ gc and I got almost all 990 INR CB under 5% cb on AMAZON merchant.

But this month, today i am disappointed to see that I can't buy a voucher now with CC.

I'm still trying any loop hole but do let me know if you guys found any.
