Amazon Gift Card Region Restrictions

Understanding the Regional Lock

Amazon gift cards are region-locked, meaning they can only be redeemed in the country or region for which they were purchased. For example, an Amazon gift card purchased in the United States cannot be redeemed in the United Kingdom.

Redemption for International Recipients

If you want to send an Amazon gift card to someone in another country, it's important to purchase a gift card from the Amazon store in that country. For example, if you want to send a gift card to someone in Switzerland, you would need to purchase a gift card from Amazon.ch.

Purchasing Amazon Gift Cards in Switzerland

Amazon does not have a Swiss online store, but you can still purchase Amazon gift cards in Switzerland. You can do this by visiting the Amazon.de website, which is the German Amazon store. When you purchase a gift card from Amazon.de, select the "Amazon.ch" option, and the balance will be applied to the recipient's Amazon.ch account.

Product Availability and Delivery to Switzerland

While Amazon does not have a Swiss online store, many products can be delivered to Switzerland. Deliveries to Switzerland are offered by the Amazon stores for France, Germany, and Italy. When you purchase a product from an Amazon store, be sure to check the delivery options to see if delivery to Switzerland is available.
