These days, your Amazon Gift Card Balance is about as close to a cash equivalent as anything out there. Think about it this way: would you rather have $100 worth of gold or a $100 Amazon Gift Card? While the gold might come in handy for a zombie apocalypse or as a long term investment, there isn’t much you can buy with $100 in gold today whereas, with an Amazon Gift Card, there isn’t much you cannot buy (follow the double negative) save perhaps N95 masks. If you have free shipping through Amazon Prime, that just sweetens the value.
