So sometimes we have a need to send a gift anonymously, out of our charitable heart or for whatever reasons. (I sincerely hope it's not related to stalking! :D)
Amazon requires you to key in your billing address to authenticate with your credit card company. This address will be displayed on your invoice which in turn is sent to your gift recipient, which is not really helpful.
In order to get around this:-
1) Buy a similar valued
Amazon Gift Card - Email
and send it to your OWN e-mail.
and send it to your OWN e-mail.
2) Wait for 5 minutes and you will receive a gift redemption code from Amazon. This will be the second e-mail from Amazon as the first e-mail will actually be your order confirmation.
3) Use this gift redemption code when your check out.
Note: Amazon still requires you to select a payment method just in case your gift code can't fully pay for the item. So fully make sure that the gift redemption code is of similar value to the item you want to purchase so that your credit card won't be charged.
4) For the billing address, select the shipping address. That way your recipient will not be able to guess who send it! (Duh! :))
Billing address will not form part of the authentication process as your credit card is not charged so your order will be CONFIRMED!
Caution: If you select payment by credit card, the last 4 digit of your card might be displayed in the invoice sent to your recipient. So as long as you don't reveal your last 4 digit to them, they will never know.
Hope this helps!
