Unknown gift card/debit card on my Amazon account

[edit]

I just noticed that in my Amazon account I have a gift card that I don't recognize. I must have gotten it as some point but I don't remember it. Based on the Amazon Wallet Cards & Accounts webpage, here's all the information I know:

  • Debit Card
  • Name on card is "Gift Card Recipient"
  • Visa
  • Last 4 digits of the account number (which I won't list here for security reasons)
  • Expiration date

Is there anyway to track down what card this is based on the above information?

I already tried my credit report but this account is not listed (probably because the account holder is "Gift Card Recipient"). Since it's a gift card, it may have a positive balance but I'm afraid to use it because I don't know how much is on the card. If I accidentally spend too much and the balance went negative, I have no idea how to pay it. So anyway, this is my question: Is there anyway to track down what card this is based on the above information? A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 18:37, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Did you try contacting Amazon? ←Baseball Bugs What's up, Doc? carrots19:46, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Well, I tried to contact them, but their website is designed to avoid giving you a number to call. But I Googled it, found a number and called them. I got the information I needed. Thanks for your help. A Quest For Knowledge (talk) 21:24, 18 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
