Amazon.co.jp questions
1. Do they take Amazon US GC's?
2. Have they issued any of their own GC's?
thanks,
Tuan Jim

As far as I know GCs only work in the currency in which they were issued. Someone has talked before about getting an error message because each national site recognises its own format of certificate and will reject anything else.
Purchasing Japanese GCs is another matter. I don't know if they have them but if they do wouldn't you need to know some of the language to use them? (If you do know some of the language then checking out the site should answer the question)

It appears amazon.co.jp does sell GCs, although when you have babelfish translate it. It shows as "Gift ticket". Links for GCs can be found at the bottom center of the page. (In the boxed in area)
cheers,
