It can be applied to your Amazon.com Account and used to make eligible purchases, regardless of the expiration date. The expiration dates for any portion of your Amazon.com balance that contains Gift Cards issued before October 1, 2005 in CA CT, LA ME, MD and MT are not applicable. Your Amazon.com Balance and all other Gift Cards issued before October 1, 2005 expire according to their terms.

It doesn’t mean you have to redeem it immediately. The funds will remain in your account until you choose to use them as a payment option.

We recommend that you add the money immediately to your account.

It is not possible to exchange an Amazon gift certificate for cash at the moment.
