You cannot pay directly with Paysafecard at Amazon. However, you can still use the payment method via a small detour.
How to pay at Amazon with Paysafecard
The Paysafecard is an electronic payment method that is not yet accepted by Amazon as a regular payment method. But you can get around the problem with a legal trick. In the Paysafecard voucher shop, you can exchange your Paysafe code for an Amazon voucher.
- Click on the “Amazon.de” button in the Paysafecard voucher shop.
- You will now be redirected to a new page where you can log into your Paysafe account or create a new account.
- After you have registered, you can select the voucher value.
- In the next step, you must provide your address. You should provide all the information correctly, as your creditworthiness will be checked by SCHUFA.
- You then need to enter your Paysafecard code and the voucher code for Amazon will appear in your account.
Redeem received voucher at Amazon
Once you have received the voucher code, all you have to do is enter it on Amazon:
- Log in to Amazon.de and click on “My Account”.
- Under “Payment and Voucher” select “Check gift voucher balance and redeem gift vouchers”
- Now enter the voucher code of the Amazon voucher in the text field.
- The credit will now be credited to your Amazon account and applied to your next purchase.
Advantages of Paysafecard
It is definitely an advantage if you use Paysafecard as a means of payment, even at Amazon.
- The Paysafecard is a rechargeable card for which you do not have to disclose any personal information. You do not pay with your bank details or a credit card, but rather a 16-digit code is used.
- Since the card is only loaded with a certain amount at a time and then expires as soon as it is spent, you have better control over your finances. This can help younger people in particular not to live beyond their means and only spend what they have available.
