CAGiversary!
I had no problem --SO FAR-- applying the "$25 virtual visa" to my amazon account as a gift card well after I had activated it(maybe 2-3 days?), and here is how I did it:
Went to Amazon's buy gift cards, selected via email.
Set the amount to $25(no problem, so far).
Set the send to to my NOT-amazon email account.
Set the card to "Visa," in "card #" pasted the number given on myecount, and then entered my name.
Checked my NOT-amazon email account, copied the code, then went to my account's "add gift card," entered it, and had that $25 applied to my giftcard total.
Note that I say SO FAR, I just did this a few minutes ago. ALSO NOTE, I did add the card to my account beforehand under billing, so you might or might not need to do that.
Not quite where I wanted to put the $25, but I had no hassles(again, so far), and didn't feel like paying the $3.95 fee to get a real one...
