How to purchase off of Amazon with a Borders gift card?

I've been having trouble using a gift card on Amazon. When I tried to enter my gift card info and press continue on the second step of the process, it says that I need to enter my credit card number. The only dotted options are for credit cards and money orders, so the default option on that page is always selected as a credit card, even though theres a blank window to enter your gift card number. I know the card has 25 dollars and is more than the book I'm buying costs. If someone could help me I would really appreciate it.

Even if the gift card covers your whole purchase, you still have to enter your credit card info, but Amazon will not charge it in your case. There should be a field in the next step of the checkout for you to enter your gift card number.
Reply:Are you going through the borders website? You have to start at borders and add the new copy that's listed. When you go through the checkout, in your shopping cart it will display shipped by borders teamed with amazon. As long as it says borders teamed with amazon and not just amazon the payment page will pop up the option to pay by borders gc as well instead of just credit card, etc.

Good luck!
