I had a long struggle trying to buy and send this gift card to my granddaughter in Japan. After polite agents at the Amazon customer service were unable to help me because it was Amazon.jp, I almost gave up. When I found that what I thought was a failure and exposure of my credit card number had actually gone through, I was greatly relieved. I don't know what caused me so much trouble this year, as I had done it successfully and easily before. I don't know whether I will ever dedicate anxious hours to this effort again, though.
