Subject: Bungie Store and an Amazon Gift Card

I was wondering if anyone knows if the Bungie Store accepts Amazon gift cards as payment, since they're run by Amazon. I really want one of those "Burn Bright, Burn Blue" shirts (and maybe even try to grab a Swag Bag once they replenish them), but I don't have an active debit or credit card. I've heard for things (such as Bungie Pro Render Minutes) gift cards won't work.

Can I go out and buy an Amazon gift card without wasting my money? I already have a $25 Visa Gift Card, but with shipping, the order comes to $25.87..

I had a balance of Amazon Gift cards and ordering from Bungie took from my giftcard balance.

Ok, and did the transaction actually process? I know that sounds like a stupid question, but if there were some kind of system glitch with gift cards, it could take the money without actually going through.

Yep, gift card balance was used, confirmation email was sent, and it shows up as shipping soon under my orders.

Beautiful. Thanks for the info man. I'll be sure to grab one.

I love Halo, I have played it since the beginning, even though I may not have had Xbox Live back then. Marathon is also a pretty good game. I have been here on Bungie.net longer but got a new account and I am looking forward to Bungie's next game. My old account got hacked.

Thank You Bungie! For the best games and Recon Armor. Also thanks for the early access to the Halo: Reach Beta!

Be warned that it does say "Please note: Because your order contains items from third-party sellers only, we can't accept payment via Amazon Credit Account, check, money order, gift certificate, or promotional coupon."
