Answered by James Kissner

To add a card to your Amazon account, follow these steps:

1. Go to the Amazon Payments website: Start by visiting the Amazon Payments website at https://pay.amazon.com/us/.

2. Log in to your account: If you already have an Amazon account, simply log in using your email address and password. If you don’t have an account, you can create one by clicking on the “Create your Amazon account” button.

3. Access account settings: Once you are logged in, click on “Edit My Account Settings” located on the top right corner of the page. This will take you to your account settings where you can manage your payment options.

4. Manage credit cards: On the account settings page, you will see several options. Look for the “Add, edit, or delete my credit cards” section and click on it. This is where you can add and manage your credit card information.

5. Add a new card: To add a new card, click on the “Add New Card” button. A form will appear where you can enter your credit card and billing details.

6. Enter card details: Fill in the required information, including the cardholder’s name, card number, expiration date, security code (CVV), and billing address. Make sure all the information is accurate and up to date.

7. Save the card: After entering the details, click on the “Add New Card” button to save the card to your Amazon account. You may be prompted to confirm your card information or enter additional verification details, depending on your card issuer’s requirements.

8. Verify the card (if necessary): In some cases, Amazon may require additional verification to ensure the security of your account. This can be done by verifying a small charge or entering a code sent to your card’s billing address. Follow the instructions provided if any additional verification is needed.

9. Card added successfully: Once you have completed the steps, you should see a confirmation message indicating that your card has been successfully added to your Amazon account.

It is important to note that the process may slightly vary depending on your location and the version of Amazon Payments you are using. However, the general steps mentioned above should guide you through the process of adding a card to your Amazon account.
