Amazon partners with several third-party retailers that carry its gift cards. The Amazon gift cards available in stores typically come in denominations of $25, $50, or a customizable amount ranging from $25 to $500.
I contacted each of the stores listed below to confirm whether or not they sell Amazon gift cards.
Representatives told me that Amazon gift cards have no additional purchase fees and don’t expire.
However, keep in mind that you generally can’t return an Amazon gift card after buying it unless your state requires stores to allow gift card returns (as previously reported). Payment options may also vary by location, as only some stores let you purchase gift cards with a credit card.

Note that Amazon gift card availability at the stores listed below varies by location and current inventory. (For example, only about 50% of the GameStop locations I contacted carry Amazon gift cards.)
