YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER I THOUGHT I WASTED MY MONEY TYSM your absolutely right i dont know why no one showed it so am very thank you very much you are true hero not all heros have capes but you just made so many people not loose money thank you so much liked and subbed
Thank you, Eric. It's a crazy card, for sure. I'm just glad you found my video and was able to collect your money! Your kind comment is much appreciated! Rich😊😊
THANK YOU!!! My mom got a $100 amazon gift card for grandma this year. And couldn't figure out how to open and use the dang thing! She ended up just making the purchase on her credit card for grandma. But after she got home, with what she thought was a useless card, she did some searching and found your video! Now we got it open and can use it. She is very happy she DIDN'T end up wasting / losing $100! And, since you helped so much (and are pretty much the only person on the internet who bothered telling us how to do it) I just had to get on my account and come leave you a thank you on here. Now we know how to use these for the future, AND we didn't lose / waste a $100 gift card! THANK YOU so much!!
Just spent an hour echatting with a rep from Amazon. The rep never told me to simply tear open the holder card and look inside. He/she kept telling me the number I was reading was not an Amazon number. Tempers were about to flare so I decided to check out TH-cam. As soon as I saw you start to peal off the strip to expose the real number I stopped the video and in a couple of minutes I had activated the darn thing. Thanks. Now I'll have to back and watch the rest of your show. ;-)
I know the pain you felt! Insanity is rampant in the world and this explains why I never ask for help! If it's not on google or youtube I have to figure it out or just die. The type conversation you had would give me a heart attack. I'm so glad my video was there to help! Rich
Thanks much 🤣 I have been trying to find the correct number to apply my gift card for 30 mins until I thought to ask someone on TH-cam. 😅 you saved me from having a meltdown.
Thank you Mister Davis for taking the time to share your Amazon gift card experience. I did not realize that the gift card was inside the Amazon cover. I really appreciate you. God bless!
I got an Amazon gift card this morning and see that there still are no instructions on the packet. How would anyone know what to do with this? Thanks, Marvin. Rich
My man you are an actual life saver. I'm in my 30s and very tech savvy and could not figure this out either for the life of me, since there's absolutely ZERO instructions or indication of any kind on the gift card "package" (you wouldn't know it's just a package that contains the card!). I thought someone had number generated my card code already and used it in between me buying the card and getting home and was ready to call customer service haha. Thanks a lot for this video, and as others have said WHY are you the only one who has this tutorial??? I've searched high and low, and finally came upon yours after almost giving up. Not even the clerk who sold me the thing and said her kids used the cards knew it needed to be ripped open. You sir deserve all of the likes and subs on all of the youtubes! Certainly have mine, solely for this video alone. Cheers
Thanks for your very kind words. I've posted over 4,000 videos on TH-cam and this is my most popular one by far. I'm glad my video helps so many people but cannot understand how this ridiculous packet can continue to be produced and sold year after year. Rich
Hi Rich. Thank you for your detailed video on gift cards. You're most correct about them being extremely frustrating. New to Amazon, purchased 3 gift cards from them. Never, ever, again !!! God bless you, Richard. ✝️
@richdavis4007 Thanks again, Rich. Especially Amazon !! Just set up an account early this morning. Thought Amazon Prime sounded good, so I filled out the form. Amazon said they accept the Amazon Gift Card as payment for the Prime feature. Not so !!! Also, I can't find my Amazon balance anywhere !!! They are absolutely horrible !! I'm going to use the gift cards ( maybe ) that I have. After that, I am NEVER, EVER, doing business with these ass-clowns again. Moreover, I'm giving them extremely poor ratings whenever and wherever I can !!! I'm 66 years of age. Please advise me, Rich, if you can help me in any way. God bless you, Rich. ✝️
Amazon Prime is great. Amazon Gift Cards are great. Understand that Amazon itself is tricky and no doubt a crook. They set things up to be difficult with hopes people will walk away and leave money behind. There is a place on my Amazon Prime account up top where it says Account & Lists. That's where to go to go to Gift Cards to find your Amazon balance. At 66 you are still a kid. I'm 75 and getting younger every day. Ho ho.
Thank you for posting this video Rich. It helped me figure out why my mother in law and father in law who are 80+ couldn't locate their code number. They didn't realize that the card was inside the cardboard envelope. Amazon couldn't help her with that when she called them. I emailed her your video in case she needs to be walked through it.
If some little instructions were on the package, everyone would know what to do. There are numbers outside the package and doesn't look like anything you can open. Very confusing to me and I've dealt with these things before. Thanks for your kind comment and letting me know my video was appreciated! Rich
I'm so happy you found my video and used it to solve the problem. Many people don't find a solution. I read today where $3 billion is lost every year by people who don't redeem gift cards. Very best wishes to you! Rich
I’ve just been through the same process of trying every darn number I could find like everyone else. Thank you for making, what appears a deliberate problem, easily solved. You’re my angel this Christmas ❤️
you made my day. I called Amazon and the customer service representative told me to scratch off the code. BUT she did not tell me to open up the envelope to find the card. So I was scratching all over the black outside of the package. Then I came to youtube, and this was the only video that actually showed me how to find the card and code. I am 76, pretty intelligent but the communication from Amazon was piss poor. Thanks Rich.
I'm glad I could help, Steve. My video makes me a hero at least for a moment to many people every day. Why Amazon doesn't fix this card, and their support responses, I have no idea? It's as if they like the way things are, which is a bit disconcerting. Rich
Rich - this was genius. I've been sitting here scanning, punching in numbers, trying this and that. Because it says "card number" on the back. I have exactly what you showed. And 10 seconds ago, I added the card amount to my balance. You did me a great service. Thank you! From the number of comments, it looks like I'm not alone! No where on the packaging does it suggest there's a card inside.
Yes, yes, yes! Amazon assumes since they are such a big company and everybody uses them for everything that explanations are unnecessary. A simple little, as you say, Tear Here/Open Here, would be very helpful. Thanks, friend. Rich
THANK YOU SO MUCH.. I too received a gift card and didn't know what number Amazon wanted. I looked at video after video and they were 100% crap. A bunch of sappy music, no narration and NO answers to what I was looking for. ALL of those sites got a big fat thumbs down from me. I guess Amazon and others hope people will get pissed and toss the cards. In a few minutes you explained exactly what I needed to know. Again THANK YOU !! I am glad there are some sites on youtube where a Human and not stupid sappy music answer questions..
How sweet of you to put out this video. I was feeling like a total idiot trying to scan the front of the card and putting in the wrong numbers. Thank you so much!
I can’t believe it! Yes You Tube was my last resort! Lol....I couldn’t find anything helpful until now....haha...a simple tear open for instructions would have helped! Merry Christmas everyone...stay safe and be well!!
THANK You for your insight. I tried everything to load my card on Amazon thinking if I cut the outside of the card I would distroy the card. You were a lifesaver. Bless you.
SON OF A GUN!! After fighting with Amazon by phone and online, after reading another video with huge numbers of questions and answers--AFTER months of trying to figure it out, I found your directions. And SURE enough there was a card inside with the scratch off!! I've had the card for 6 months and could not figure it out. And all this time there it was. So simple, and no one knew how to find the right number or where it was, not AMAZON, not the other expert and his correspondents. Thanks, $25 worth of thanks! Phillip Hickman
The simple Amazon gift card. Who would think it could cause so many people so much grief! In a perfectly sane world this could never happen. Your comment made me smile but I remember my own frustration with this card. Thanks, Phillip. I feel like a hero tonight. Rich
Thanks Rich! Having inadvertently destroyed gift cards in the past due to unclear instructions on where to tear, peel, scratch, I'm glad you posted this video. Helped me out!
You the MVP of my day! I was tripping out trying to find the code thinking there was no actual gift card. Your video was straight to the point. You the man!
Thanks a lot dude. I have the same type of gift card. I was getting so angry and was ready to go to the store it was bought from. Tried calling Amazon but their lines are closed due to the pandemic. I was FUMING! Such terrible packaging and no clear instructions. Nothing about it on the net.....until YOU!
Mr. Davis. Thank you so much for making one the most helpful videos out there. Direct and to the point. Up until now I had never received an Amazon gift card. I was a bit perplexed looking at the back of their 2021 version. Seriously they put a card inside of a package that looks, and feels like a card. Bravo Sir! Many thanks. Sub earned!
Thank you rich brought on of them today for my dad and he could not figure out how to use it and it don’t tell you the cards inside. So your video was very helpful and it’s worked.
THANK YOU HUGE! I can't wait to tell this story to the person who gifted me this card; after several attempts to figure it out, I thought to myself, try youtube and you are a Christmas hero today. Thanx soooo much for making this video and helping countless recipients of this type of card!!
Rich, you're a star! I'm in the UK and had exactly the same problem. Nowhere on the gift card pack does it say that the actual gift card with the 15 digit code is inside! I am an elementary school teacher who received the card as a gift from a parent at the end of term. I was cringing at the thought of having to email them to ask for the receipt. You helped me solve a frustrating puzzle and for that I am very grateful.
Thank you so much for providing the information I needed to figure out where the heck my amazon gift card number was. Everyone else's instructions were either wrong or incomplete. Oh well, such is life in 2023.
Thank you so much for your helpful video, Rich! I looked everywhere online to find out how to do this and you’re the only one with the right answer. You’ve made my day! Stay safe! 😊👍🏻
You are a life saver, thank you so much for making this video. I was so afraid to rip it open and rid it somehow of it was on the outside on the whole thing!
Thank you so much as you really helped my father in law end his frustration. He called trying to figure this card out. I had no clue since I never had a physical Amazon card. I jumped on TH-cam and found you. Thanks again for taking the time to record your video.
Since I've had these before, I feel dumb having to search the internet to figure this out. Shame on Amazon for packaging that makes purchasers spend time wondering where the code is and how to get to it. Thanks, Tom. Rich
Thank you so much You saved me after an hour of total frustration of putting in the wrong number and not knowing that I was to get the card out of the envelope it was in and take off the claim code seal. It was news to me, as nobody else but you had posted this information. From one senior to another...Bless you !
If I didn’t see this video I would have thrown my card away. I tried entering the numbers over and over but Amazon never tells you to rip it open. Thanks Rich Davis!!
Thanks, Rick! I typed all the numbers from the back of the envelope and couldn't find anything on it that said, "OPEN THIS CARDBOARD THING UP!" Sure glad I found your video. You're the best.
Oh My God ! you saved My Life as I spent 1 hour to find the code for my 8 years old daughter. Got to the point that I was so mad as it costed me 50 bucks and had to drive to the 7 eleven to get it during the lock down. Just to please my kid ! Thanks! Yes all the internet dont have anything but your video clip.
I'm glad to have save another life, especially yours! In tense times it's especially had to deal with nonsense like the packaging of an Amazon gift card! So happy my video saved the day and that you let me know. I feel like a hero. Rich
@@richdavis4007 thank you sir ! You could not image how desperate we were when we tried to scratch the numbers off 🙄. And the Amazon instructions on the gift- card- package were not useful for the first time users like me. Then we Google it ! Still nothing came up . Until we stumbled into your clip. It was a mind blowing 😅 as your words described exactly how I felt . Thanks a lot and please look after yourself and keep in good fighting spirit ( which I am sure that you are ) during this national crisis. Much appreciation from one of your viewer ...🙋♀️
Thank you so much, I bought my first ever gift card today and I was so confused on how to open it, it doesn’t even give instructions. your video is a big help to me, thank you once again!
Was getting annoyed at the fact that I typed in codes and scanned the barcode multiple times but then your video helped my dumb ass open the shit thing, appreciate you replying to everyone and helping a lot of people with their gift card problems👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks, Adam, for your kindly comment. The Amazon gift card makes a lot of us cuss and blow. I'm glad you and many others found my video. Boo Amazon! Hurray, Davis! Rich
Thanks so much Mr. Davis! I got a gift card from my nans and had literally no idea how to claim it, I was typing in all the numbers I could see! You're saved me so much hassle!
Young people have mentioned that before! I'm sure there are lots of things you could help me with but this is something I discovered and thought would help other people if I made a video. It has. I've posted 3,000 videos and this is my most popular one. Thanks for your kind comment! Rich
Hey, thanks so much for making this guide! My brother got me a gift card like this for Christmas, but I had no idea where to find the gift code. Your guide was a great help, and I managed to redeem the card!
Thanks ur a life saver, my wife was going mad with frustration, she was trying all the numbers on the back, nothing there's not even an arrow on the card to say tear here, Well done for putting a video up, as you say there no info out there.
Sometimes I feel like a hero when people thank me for this video. Your comment was a nice reward for me having done so. Best wishes to your wife! Amazon is to blame here but many people blame themselves. Boo Amazon. Rich
THANK YOU!!! If not because of your video, I really thought our gift card was worthless. Tried to contact Amazon chat twice but they didn't have a clue. Tried every possible numbers, nothing worked! Never knew that there was a card inside it, OMG!
Hi Rich, your a God send. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to solve this problem. Your video was great easy to understand and straight to the point many many thanks,kind regards Jack. Across the pond in Wales, UK.
Thanks for taking the time to make this video Rich. Items like these that don't come with instructions about how to find the number are a pain in the butt.
Thanks for this, I'm in the UK but we have the exact same problem, yours is the only video that addresses this, your vid has helped me top up £200 They should definitely have hints that there's a physical card inside
Thank you most kind sir. You are a great help. I searched for this information until I found you. You are a shining star!! Thank you so very much. Amazon should realize we older generation need clearer instructions like "tear off the top portion of the card" and the card is on the inside. Like you, I'm typing the wrong numbers at the bottom.
EVERYONE needs better instructions on this card. I imagine it's a mystery to most first time users. Many people return to this video several times over the years!!
I just called Amazon and told them I couldn't find an alpha numeric number. She never told me to open the cardboard card and remove the card from inside. Thank You.
To be clear, the reason they hid the code inside the packaging is because thieves could easily take pics of the code if it was visible, then keep checking it until it gets purchased, then steal your money. Great tutorial on what to do to get your code!
Thank You Sir ❤️ Finally came to your TH-cam channel and got Real Instructions. For the Life of me I can’t understand why people never ever give good directions... You Are My First 😂
Thank you! I've spent the past 30 minutes trying to get the barcode to scan or type in any and every number visible through the window in the cardboard sleeve! I'm with you, why doesn't the card itself have directions or the Amazon website!
You Sir, are an absolute star!! Thank you so much for posting this mini-tutorial. There's a good chance I would have thrown it out as useless otherwise. Shame on Amazon for not providing instructions!! Chons Da to you sir!
Thank heavens for you xxx I'm in England and couldnt for the life of me figure out how to redeem this card. Your video helped me to do this. Happy New Year to you and your family xxx
My goodness… thank you so much. I was trying to scan the bar code and it wouldn’t work so in doing a search I found your video and saw that I was supposed to open the outer card case thing and take out the actual card. Wow. Thanks for that.
I love you bro,you just calmed down my temper so much with this video as i though i got scammed.I wish nothing but the best for you,you are a complete legend.Thank you!
Thank you, Rich Davis, you are a Saint! When you realized that you had some trouble finding the code, you were kind enough to make this video. Note to AMAZON - why don't you put on the cardboard, "to find the code, open up this package" or ANYTHING that leads people to the right numbers! You have all the other numbers on the outside pf the packaging so no wonder people are confused!
Thanks so much! I was typing in all the numbers and wondering if there was a card inside but like you said I was afraid to mess it up if I had to take it back and get activated. You would think they would say to open the package🤦This was the most useful help video I have ever watched!
Thank you! It totally wasn't obvious that you had to take the card out! I was trying all of the numbers until I watched your video. Yay! I was able to redeem. Awesome!
Thank you, sir! I am a senior also. I have redeemed gift cards before, but I had no idea the gift card was inside. No help from Amazon, or anywhere else, except you. Thanks!!! If, on the packaging, it said tear here, or gift card inside, I would have figured it out. Bah Amazon!
That was so helpful I can't believe that they make it so difficult. All of the instructions ask you to download the app to your phone, I really don't need that option on my phone or in my life. Awesome!
Oh My God! thanks so much! I couldn't figure it out for a long time and I couldn't find anything in the internet neither, until just I found your video. Thank you! sooo helpful!
Im 70 and I'm still learning. Seems to me soon everything we buy will be on Amazon. I can get popcorn, shampoo and lots of other things cheaper on Amazon than I can my local stores. Rich
Well, thanks!! 😊 If everyone who was helped by this video subscribed, I'd be as happy as they were when they learned the secret to opening the giftcard and collecting their money! Rich Davis😊😊
Thank you so much for doing this video. I had no idea where to find it until your video. The makers of these cards should get a horsewhipping for their lack of instructions. Thank you Rich, all the best to you.
Glad I could help! I made a video today which will probably post tomorrow showing me cashing in two gift cards and buying a couple of fun things on Amazon. Thanks, Steven. Rich
thank you! I have three gift cards in my hand and had no idea how to find the claim code. searched the internet and nothing until I found your video. Yay!
THANK YOU. I want to give my amazon gift card as a gift. I couldn't figure out if I had spent it already. The amazon outer envelope was not broken so now I know I'm good to go.
YOU ARE A LIFE SAVER I THOUGHT I WASTED MY MONEY TYSM your absolutely right i dont know why no one showed it so am very thank you very much you are true hero not all heros have capes but you just made so many people not loose money thank you so much liked and subbed
Thank you, Eric. It's a crazy card, for sure. I'm just glad you found my video and was able to collect your money! Your kind comment is much appreciated!

You are so right! I was so mad when I couldn't find the code! 😂 thanks so much!
Can you send me one please sir
Dude, literally no one else apart from you showed how to do this. I was freaking out thinking I had been mugged off! Thanks a bunch!!

Dear Mr. Davis, thank you so much! I didn't know what to do - who knew the card was inside!!! Thanks a lot :)
I'm glad I could help. I wouldn't have made the video if I hadn't had the same trouble. Rich
Thanks a lot dude. I have the same type of gift card. I was getting so angry and was ready to go to the store it was bought from. Tried calling Amazon but their lines are closed due to the pandemic. I was FUMING! Such terrible packaging and no clear instructions. Nothing about it on the net.....until YOU!
I'm glad my video helped! Thanks for letting me know. Rich😊
Brilliant! Wife got a £40 (UK) card today. Two brains on the job, and we couldn't figure it out! You're a star, thanks.
Fantastic!😊😊😊😊😊
Mr. Davis. Thank you so much for making one the most helpful videos out there. Direct and to the point. Up until now I had never received an Amazon gift card. I was a bit perplexed looking at the back of their 2021 version. Seriously they put a card inside of a package that looks, and feels like a card. Bravo Sir! Many thanks. Sub earned!
Thanks. I'm happy for the sub and the comment! Rich
I got a 25 dollar one for my birthday and couldn’t figure it out! Thank you for helping me! ❤ You remind me of my grandfather! Thank you!❤
I'm so glad I could help. Your comment made me smile. 😊😊
Thank you rich brought on of them today for my dad and he could not figure out how to use it and it don’t tell you the cards inside. So your video was very helpful and it’s worked.
I'm so glad my video helped. This card is a mystery and no surprise people don't know what to do with it. Rich
THANK YOU HUGE! I can't wait to tell this story to the person who gifted me this card; after several attempts to figure it out, I thought to myself, try youtube and you are a Christmas hero today. Thanx soooo much for making this video and helping countless recipients of this type of card!!
I'll get a lot of views on this video today, I'm sure. I'm glad it helped you and also the many others who searched it out! Rich
Thank you, Rich! You're right - nowhere on the Internet could I find instructions. You're a treasure!
I'm very pleased my video helped. Thanks, Terry. Rich 😊
You did well paps
Fantastic! I was about to absolutely lose my mind over this! Thank you so much!
Glad I could help!😊😊
Rich, you're a star! I'm in the UK and had exactly the same problem.
Nowhere on the gift card pack does it say that the actual gift card with the 15 digit code is inside!
I am an elementary school teacher who received the card as a gift from a parent at the end of term. I was cringing at the thought of having to email them to ask for the receipt.
You helped me solve a frustrating puzzle and for that I am very grateful.
I'm glad my video was here to save the day! Rich
Thank you so much for providing the information I needed to figure out where the heck my amazon gift card number was. Everyone else's instructions were either wrong or incomplete. Oh well, such is life in 2023.
Glad my video helped! Thanks for letting me know. Rich
Thank you so much for your helpful video, Rich! I looked everywhere online to find out how to do this and you’re the only one with the right answer. You’ve made my day! Stay safe! 😊👍🏻
I'm so glad my video helped! Rich 😊
You are a life saver, thank you so much for making this video. I was so afraid to rip it open and rid it somehow of it was on the outside on the whole thing!
I understand and the packet had me flummoxed the first couple of times I got gift cards. I'm glad my video was there when you needed help. Rich
THANK YOU!! I was trying to figure it out for so long, started getting super frustrated...searched internet to no avail...then saw your video!! xoxo
So nice of you to let me know my video helped. 😊
Thank you so much as you really helped my father in law end his frustration. He called trying to figure this card out. I had no clue since I never had a physical Amazon card. I jumped on TH-cam and found you. Thanks again for taking the time to record your video.
It worked out nicely all the way around. I'm glad my video was there and you found it! Rich
Thank you I feel a bit dumb now but atleast I know how to efficiently
Since I've had these before, I feel dumb having to search the internet to figure this out. Shame on Amazon for packaging that makes purchasers spend time wondering where the code is and how to get to it. Thanks, Tom. Rich
Thank you so much You saved me after an hour of total frustration of putting in the wrong number and not knowing that I was to get the card out of the envelope it was in and take off the claim code seal. It was news to me, as nobody else but you had posted this information. From one senior to another...Bless you !
Thanks to this video and the foolishness of Amazon gift cards, I get to be a hero every day. I'm glad we met today and I could help! Rich
If I didn’t see this video I would have thrown my card away. I tried entering the numbers over and over but Amazon never tells you to rip it open. Thanks Rich Davis!!
I'm glad my video was there when you needed it! Rich
Thanks, Rick! I typed all the numbers from the back of the envelope and couldn't find anything on it that said, "OPEN THIS CARDBOARD THING UP!" Sure glad I found your video. You're the best.
I did exactly the same thing. I imagine a million people have. Makes no sense but I'm glad you found my video! Thanks, Kandy. Rich
Oh My God ! you saved My Life as I spent 1 hour to find the code for my 8 years old daughter. Got to the point that I was so mad as it costed me 50 bucks and had to drive to the 7 eleven to get it during the lock down. Just to please my kid !
Thanks! Yes all the internet dont have anything but your video clip.
I'm glad to have save another life, especially yours! In tense times it's especially had to deal with nonsense like the packaging of an Amazon gift card! So happy my video saved the day and that you let me know. I feel like a hero. Rich
@@richdavis4007 thank you sir ! You could not image how desperate we were when we tried to scratch the numbers off 🙄. And the Amazon instructions on the gift- card- package were not useful for the first time users like me. Then we Google it ! Still nothing came up . Until we stumbled into your clip. It was a mind blowing 😅 as your words described exactly how I felt . Thanks a lot and please look after yourself and keep in good fighting spirit ( which I am sure that you are ) during this national crisis.
Much appreciation from one of your viewer ...🙋♀️
Atrisa Pham just curious are you able to order from Amazon using gift cards underage?
@@D3VModz I would think so.
Thank you so much, I bought my first ever gift card today and I was so confused on how to open it, it doesn’t even give instructions. your video is a big help to me, thank you once again!
Glad I could help!
Was getting annoyed at the fact that I typed in codes and scanned the barcode multiple times but then your video helped my dumb ass open the shit thing, appreciate you replying to everyone and helping a lot of people with their gift card problems👍🏿👍🏿
Thanks, Adam, for your kindly comment. The Amazon gift card makes a lot of us cuss and blow. I'm glad you and many others found my video. Boo Amazon! Hurray, Davis! Rich
Well Sir you are the first person that actually helped me figure out how do use these darn things. I appreciate you taking the time to make the video.
I'm glad my video helped! Rich
Thanks so much Mr. Davis! I got a gift card from my nans and had literally no idea how to claim it, I was typing in all the numbers I could see! You're saved me so much hassle!
Glad I saved the day on Christmas Day! Rich
@@richdavis4007 Hoping you have a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year!
I thought teens are suppose to help elders with tech stuff... but I’m here learning from a elder
Young people have mentioned that before! I'm sure there are lots of things you could help me with but this is something I discovered and thought would help other people if I made a video. It has. I've posted 3,000 videos and this is my most popular one. Thanks for your kind comment! Rich
Hey, thanks so much for making this guide! My brother got me a gift card like this for Christmas, but I had no idea where to find the gift code. Your guide was a great help, and I managed to redeem the card!
Super! I'm glad my video helped! Thanks for letting me know! Rich
This man saved my sanity... :)
Thank you. I feel better about myself after reading your comment! Rich
Thanks ur a life saver, my wife was going mad with frustration, she was trying all the numbers on the back, nothing there's not even an arrow on the card to say tear here,
Well done for putting a video up, as you say there no info out there.
Sometimes I feel like a hero when people thank me for this video. Your comment was a nice reward for me having done so. Best wishes to your wife! Amazon is to blame here but many people blame themselves. Boo Amazon. Rich
Omg thank you so much I had no idea how to do this!!!!!❤️
I'm glad my video helped and very glad you let me know! Rich ❤😎😊
Hello guys do you believe that I gave harkersmit on Instagram a $50 iTunes and he gave me $100 iTunes 5 times..text him now it's real and legit
THANK YOU!!! If not because of your video, I really thought our gift card was worthless. Tried to contact Amazon chat twice but they didn't have a clue. Tried every possible numbers, nothing worked! Never knew that there was a card inside it, OMG!
I'm very pleased you finally found the help you needed on my video! Rich
Thank you. I was struggling.
I know the feeling! Rich
Hi Rich, your a God send. I've been banging my head against the wall trying to solve this problem. Your video was great easy to understand and straight to the point many many thanks,kind regards Jack. Across the pond in Wales, UK.
Thanks, Jack, for your kind words. I'm glad my video helped you today! Rich
Thank man. I can’t believe an elder is telling me dis and I’m 13
I travelled this particular road before you. I'm sure there are things you could teach me. Best wishes. Rich
YOU ARE A LEGEND !!!! I can't believe that people need video coz amazon cant be bothered with better user experience! Thank you !!!!
Glad it helped!😊😊😊😊😊
You are the only person in the universe who explained how to do this, thank you sir.
I'm glad to be useful and am very please you found my video! Rich😊😊
Thank you friend. I was just about to call customer service and lose my mind cussing and ruining some poor girls day. You are the best!!!
I'm glad I saved you and them that! Best wishes. Rich
Thanks for taking the time to make this video Rich. Items like these that don't come with instructions about how to find the number are a pain in the butt.
I agree! Rich
Perfect! I was going CRAZY trying to scan the code; didn't think to open the card up. Thank you for taking time to upload the video!
Glad I could help! Thanks for letting me know. Rich
Thanks for this, I'm in the UK but we have the exact same problem, yours is the only video that addresses this, your vid has helped me top up £200
They should definitely have hints that there's a physical card inside
I'm glad my video saved the day! It has helped many. Thanks for your kind comment. Rich😊😊
Thank you most kind sir. You are a great help. I searched for this information until I found you. You are a shining star!! Thank you so very much. Amazon should realize we older generation need clearer instructions like "tear off the top portion of the card" and the card is on the inside. Like you, I'm typing the wrong numbers at the bottom.
EVERYONE needs better instructions on this card. I imagine it's a mystery to most first time users. Many people return to this video several times over the years!!
I just called Amazon and told them I couldn't find an alpha numeric number. She never told me to open the cardboard card and remove the card from inside. Thank You.
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊
To be clear, the reason they hid the code inside the packaging is because thieves could easily take pics of the code if it was visible, then keep checking it until it gets purchased, then steal your money.
Great tutorial on what to do to get your code!
That's great to hide the code inside, but please let the buyer know where it is and how to get to it. Open Here! and an arrow would be nice. Rich
Thank You Sir ❤️ Finally came to your TH-cam channel and got Real Instructions. For the Life of me I can’t understand why people never ever give good directions... You Are My First 😂
I'm so glad my video helped you! Thanks for letting me know. Rich
Thank you! I've spent the past 30 minutes trying to get the barcode to scan or type in any and every number visible through the window in the cardboard sleeve! I'm with you, why doesn't the card itself have directions or the Amazon website!
I'm glad my video helped!
Multi-multi billion dollar company, but somehow can't afford 1 extra webpage, figures
You Sir, are an absolute star!! Thank you so much for posting this mini-tutorial. There's a good chance I would have thrown it out as useless otherwise. Shame on Amazon for not providing instructions!! Chons Da to you sir!
I'm glad my video helped! I echo your comment: "Shame on Amazon!"
Thank heavens for you xxx I'm in England and couldnt for the life of me figure out how to redeem this card. Your video helped me to do this. Happy New Year to you and your family xxx
I'm very happy to hear from you, Sandra. Glad if my video helped! Rich
My goodness… thank you so much.
I was trying to scan the bar code and it wouldn’t work so in doing a search I found your video and saw that I was supposed to open the outer card case thing and take out the actual card. Wow. Thanks for that.
Glad I could help! Rich Davis
I love you bro,you just calmed down my temper so much with this video as i though i got scammed.I wish nothing but the best for you,you are a complete legend.Thank you!
You gave my day a big boost. I'm glad my video helped you. Rich

Thank you, Rich Davis, you are a Saint! When you realized that you had some trouble finding the code, you were kind enough to make this video. Note to AMAZON - why don't you put on the cardboard, "to find the code, open up this package" or ANYTHING that leads people to the right numbers! You have all the other numbers on the outside pf the packaging so no wonder people are confused!
Thanks so much. Your kind words are uplifting to me today! I shall tell my wife I'm a Saint and see what she says! Rich
Thanks so much! I was typing in all the numbers and wondering if there was a card inside but like you said I was afraid to mess it up if I had to take it back and get activated. You would think they would say to open the package🤦This was the most useful help video I have ever watched!
Thank you for your very kind words. Your comment gave me a big boost today! Rich😊😊😊
You are very welcome! You made my day for sure!!
😊😊😊😊😊😊
LEGEND! Thank you! I can't believe Amazon don't say anything about tearing it apart on the packaging!!
Glad to help!😊😊
Thank you! It totally wasn't obvious that you had to take the card out! I was trying all of the numbers until I watched your video. Yay! I was able to redeem. Awesome!
Glad you found your way to my video! Having been tripped up by this card myself, I say it is not obvious at all what to do!!
My man!!! I was just as confused when I was trying to find the code! Thank you!!! You are a time saver
Glad I could help!
Thank you, sir! I am a senior also. I have redeemed gift cards before, but I had no idea the gift card was inside. No help from Amazon, or anywhere else, except you. Thanks!!! If, on the packaging, it said tear here, or gift card inside, I would have figured it out. Bah Amazon!
This is such a popular item and thousands every day must be baffled . . . you'd think Amazon would fix the problem. Rich😊😊
You're a legend mate. Me and the wife did not have a clue how to work it out lol. Thanks a lot for the video.
I'm glad my video helped! Thanks for your comment! Best wishes to you. Rich
Omg u just saved my life I was about to march down to the grochery store and yell at them for giving me a bad card you are the best!
I'm glad you got to use your card!! Rich
Give that man 5 stars, I have just spent ages wondering what to do with this gift card and now I know
I'm glad I could help! Rich
bro i had no clue why mine wasn’t working.. the world needs more people like you 😔😔👍🏼
Thank you! I appreciate your kind words this morning. Glad my video helped! Rich
That was so helpful I can't believe that they make it so difficult. All of the instructions ask you to download the app to your phone, I really don't need that option on my phone or in my life. Awesome!
😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊😊🤗
Your a legend man. I bought a 50 dollar gift card and I didn't know what to do with it. Thanks you so much🤙🏼
I'm glad my video helped you! 😊
Oh My God! thanks so much! I couldn't figure it out for a long time and I couldn't find anything in the internet neither, until just I found your video. Thank you! sooo helpful!
Glad I could help!😊😊
Im 26 and I have no idea how to use Amazon yet. Thank you for posting! It helps alot
Im 70 and I'm still learning. Seems to me soon everything we buy will be on Amazon. I can get popcorn, shampoo and lots of other things cheaper on Amazon than I can my local stores. Rich
thank you bro i thought i just wasted 15$ for a amazon giftcard and was just gonna put it in the garbage , but you just saved me , thank you so much
Glad I could help!😊😊😊😊😊😊
God bless your persistence young man… that helps everyone brilliantly… Amazon take note and add instructions…
Thank you! 😊😊😊😊
THANK YOU!!! I had no idea the gift card was INSIDE what I thought was the gift card!!! I really, really appreciate your explanation!
I'm glad I could help! Thanks for letting me know and appreciating my video. Rich
oh my goodness thank you so much! I got a $50 amazon gift card and no one told me it was IN THE CARD! hahah thanks again, you just earned a subscriber
Well, thanks!! 😊 If everyone who was helped by this video subscribed, I'd be as happy as they were when they learned the secret to opening the giftcard and collecting their money! Rich Davis😊😊
Thank you so much for doing this video. I had no idea where to find it until your video. The makers of these cards should get a horsewhipping for their lack of instructions. Thank you Rich, all the best to you.
I'm glad my video helped. I agree that Amazon should get a whipping for allowing this card to torment so many millions of people!
You star! I couldn't work out which number it was and I couldn't find anything useful online to help me...until now! Thank you!
Glad I could help! I made a video today which will probably post tomorrow showing me cashing in two gift cards and buying a couple of fun things on Amazon. Thanks, Steven. Rich
Thank you so much for posting this video. No one else including Amazon knew what to do. Thank you so much
Amazon knows what to do, they just aren't telling. Glad to help, Barbara. Rich😊😊😊
Got a gift card off my sister last year and gave up with code, found it and tried again.. who knew the card was inside all along 🤣 thanks mate!!
Super! A very nice surprise for you! Rich
Thank you so much dude. I am a very technically savvy guy and this was driving me nuts. Did not want to tear it up until I knew.
This card could baffle the smartest person. Makes no sense at all! 😊😊😊
thank you! I have three gift cards in my hand and had no idea how to find the claim code.
searched the internet and nothing until I found your video. Yay!
Time to do some shopping! 😊😊😊😊
Nobody is gonna believe that this video just help me out in a big way and I’m 16 years old 💆🏾thanks
In this case, age doesn't seem to matter. Thanks! Rich
THANK YOU. I want to give my amazon gift card as a gift. I couldn't figure out if I had spent it already. The amazon outer envelope was not broken so now I know I'm good to go.
Super! Glad my video helped! Rich
