Virtual card for Amazon
Can I pay for Amazon with a virtual card?
Yes. A VCCBuy virtual card works for Amazon the same way a plastic Visa or Mastercard does: enter the card number, expiry date and security code at checkout. The card spends from a balance you fund with USDT, USDC, ETH and other coins.
How Amazon charges your card
People use Amazon for orders and Prime membership. Amazon usually authorises the card when you order and takes the payment when each item ships, so one order can appear as several charges.
Amazon is one of many services you can pay this way. See our guide to the virtual cards for online subscriptions for how it works across every platform.
Which card to use
We suggest the Visa Classic. Order sizes vary, but everyday shopping stays well inside the Visa Classic limit.
| Issue fee | $9.99, paid once |
|---|---|
| Top-up fee | 3% top-up fee |
| Monthly limit | Up to $5,000 monthly spend |
How to set it up
- Create an account and deposit crypto. Sign up, then send USDT, USDC, ETH or another supported coin to your deposit address. Your balance is credited in dollars once the transfer is confirmed.
- Buy the Visa Classic. Pay the $9.99 issue fee from your balance. The card number, expiry date and security code appear in your dashboard.
- Add the card to Amazon. Open the payment settings in Amazon, choose to add a card, and enter the details along with the billing name and address shown on your card.
Tips for Amazon
- Leave a little extra on the card, because shipping and tax are added at checkout.
- Orders that ship in parts are charged in parts, so several smaller charges are normal.
- A refund goes back to the same card, so do not delete the card until the refund arrives.
Questions about Amazon payments
Why do I see two charges for one Amazon order?
Items that ship separately are charged separately. The total matches the order amount.
Where does an Amazon refund go?
Back to the card used for the order. It then appears in the card balance.
