Amazon has quietly removed its popular gift cards from the shelves of retail stores across Western New York, leaving both customers and store staff puzzled. The sudden absence of Amazon gift cards was first noticed when a viewer in West Seneca tried to purchase one for a graduation gift, only to find none available after checking multiple stores.
Local investigations by 2 On Your Side revealed that major retailers, including Tops, Wegmans, Dollar Tree, and Dollar General, have confirmed the removal of Amazon gift cards from their shelves. A spokesperson for Tops Markets confirmed that the decision to pull the gift cards extends statewide.
When questioned about the rationale behind this move, Amazon did not provide a clear explanation but hinted at ongoing experiments aimed at enhancing the customer purchasing experience. According to a spokesperson, Amazon periodically evaluates different methods for customers to obtain gift cards, emphasizing that they remain readily accessible for purchase online through the Amazon website.

For now, while Amazon gift cards may no longer be found in local stores, they remain available online, ensuring customers can still access them for various occasions and gifting needs.
