Question about gift certificates on Amazon

I recently got a $25 gift certificate as a reward from my Amazon.com Visa card. I'm ordering 48 dollars worth of stuff, $23 after the GC. My question is: Will I still get free shipping, or do I have to add two bucks worth of stuff to my cart?

You'll get the free shipping. Be aware that Amazon is currently having a major problem with applying gift certificates, so make sure to check your credit card to see if you were charged the correct amount.

You may want to delay the order until Amazon fixes the current GC problem on the site.

Good luck on that. Judging by my own experiences, this isn't just a recent problem and despite what they say, they seem to be in no real hurry to do anything about it.

Re:

Old bump, just wondering if anyone else is seeing this:

Checking my preorders and "Important Message" appears saying I have over $233 million in GC. I refresh it and now it says I have over $2 billion in GC.

Now if I could actually use it...

I got over 233 million myself. Now if Amazon only sold Ferraris.

Heads up-keep an eye on your STL discounts. Amazon didn't take the $8.45 STL discount off of my Star Trek order. Time to fire off an e-mail to their customer service.

Well you are not the first one to have STL problems with Star Trek. I don't have anything shipping until next week. Hopefully they will have it fixed by then.
