If you are looking to add your EBT card to Amazon for qualifying purchases, you can easily do so by following a few simple steps. By linking your EBT card to your Amazon account, you can take advantage of the convenience of online shopping while still using your benefits. Here is a step-by-step guide to help you through the process.
Step 1: Verify If Your Area Participates in the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot
Before adding your EBT card to Amazon, you need to make sure that your area is part of the SNAP Online Purchasing Pilot. This program allows you to use your EBT benefits to make eligible food purchases online. Check the USDA website to see if your state is included in the pilot program.
Step 2: Sign in to Your Amazon Account
Make sure you are signed in to your Amazon account before proceeding to add your EBT card. If you do not have an Amazon account, you will need to create one first.
Step 3: Add Your EBT Card Information
Once you are signed in, go to the “Your Account” page on Amazon. Look for the section on payment options and select “Add a card.” Choose the option to add an EBT card and enter the required information, including your EBT card number and expiration date.
Step 4: Verify Your EBT Card
Amazon will prompt you to verify your EBT card by entering the OTP sent to your registered phone number. Follow the instructions to complete the verification process. Once your card is verified, you can start using it for eligible purchases on Amazon.
Step 5: Start Shopping with Your EBT Card
Once your EBT card is successfully added to your Amazon account, you can start browsing for eligible food items. Look for items marked as “SNAP eligible” to use your benefits for payment. At checkout, select your EBT card as the payment method and complete your purchase.
By following these simple steps, you can easily add your EBT card to Amazon and start using your benefits for online food purchases. Enjoy the convenience of shopping online while still making use of your SNAP benefits.
