If your Visa gift card isn't working on Amazon, it's likely due to Amazon's need for a registered billing address. Register your card with the issuer by visiting their website or calling their provided phone number. Enter the card details as you would with a credit card, attaching it to an address. Post-registration, the card should work for Amazon purchases, assuming there's sufficient balance. Additionally, ensure the gift card hasn't expired or been previously depleted.
