Does Amazon have Kindle Gift Cards?
Kobo and Google Play sells gift cards in retail stores.

But I have yet seen any Kindle cards in stores.

Does Amazon sell Kindle Gift Cards?

As far as I've been able to determine - no, they aren't selling gift cards in Canadian retail stores. You can buy gift cards directly from Amazon on-line. Of course, if you have no credit card or don't want to put it on-line, then that doesn't help. I assume you could just use a prepaid credit card, but there are activation fees and expiry dates to consider when going that route.

That's strange - Amazon gift cards are sold all over the place in the UK. My local supermarket sells them.

Same in the US. (grocery stores, drug stores, office supply stores like Staples & a bunch of other places)

I agree that it's strange. I can buy dozens of kinds of gifts cards at my local supermarket or drug store, but not Amazon cards.
I suppose we're too small a market for them to bother.

It's sad that Canada always seem to get the good stuff last.

It's the same with the Google Play cards - we had to wait years for the cards to be sold in Canada.

I have bought close to hundred ebooks in the past 2-3 years from Amazon without credit card whatsoever, using just gift cards (bought online by other people) and my email address that would people use to send me either e-gift cards or ebooks and paperbooks directly.

There were no expiry dates for the remaining unspent amounts on e-gift cards.
