I sent Amazon gift certificates to my step son to be. I'm in Scotland and he is in Iowa, we had no problems with them at all. They are a geat gift idea and very easy and convenient.

Be very careful. I have read SO many reviews of people who have bought them and then never received them (they email or mail them to you).
Here is just one of hundreds of reviews saying almost the same thing:
What a joke. Do not rely on this as a gift, they will not send it., August 21, 2006
Reviewer: G. S. Ryan (Waco, TX) - See all my reviews
I was sent a gift certificate by my soon to be in-laws for my birthday (early August). I received an e-card with a personlized birthday greeting, and a note from Amazon stating that I would be receiving another email the next day that would provide my redemption code. I waited, and then I waited. About a week passed, then I called Amazon to find out where it was. The first answer that I received was, "Dummy, it is probably in your junk mail folder". But, first, it was not, and, second, I buy from Amazon regularly, so I know that I get their messages. Amazon could not confirm that they even sent the email with the confirmation code in the first place!
I was promised one within 24 hours, but it did not come. Now, two weeks after I was supposed to get an email from Amazon, I had to call again. And guess what? I was told that it was probably in my junk mail folder (they still could not confirm whether it had ever been sent!). This time after waiting and waiting on hold, they gave me the code over the phone.
It took over two weeks to get a certificate that should have been automatically generated. And the customer support was laughable. Do not get this as a gift for anyone.

Do you mean email gift certificates from Amazon? I have used them with no problems whatsoever. I love amazon. Right now they are also having a promotion, if you shop in their Grocery section, buy $49 and use code Grocery3, it will automatically deduct $10 from the total. And you still qualify for free super-saver shipping.
Good luck!
