This Cyber Monday, Amazon has discounted a whole load of its gift cards – which could make your Cyber Monday gaming deals even cheaper. The site has been one to watch during the annual sales season for some time, with deals going on everything from TVs to gaming laptops. But, you might have overlooked how you can save even more in the sales. Many discounts are available on digital gift cards, too, which means you'll be able to use them pretty much right away. 

Currently, Amazon has taken almost 20% off most of its gift cards, covering everything from tech retailers to console shops. One of the big savings is on Apple gift cards, which allows you to get a $15 credit when you spend $100 on a gift card using a promo code. This might be perfect if you've been tracking the Cyber Monday iPad deals to get yourself some new tech. 

Another offer available is Razer Gold which has a $10 credit available when you spend $50 on a gift card. You'll need to use a promo code for this one too, but they can be used to buy games and in-game content too. It's worth checking out exactly what they cover and if it suits you, but it might be a way to help make the most of the Cyber Monday deals.

Should you buy Amazon gift cards?

Well, it all depends on what you're after. If you're planning on buying some Apple or Razer Gold products, this is a great way to get yourself a bit more off when you get to the checkout. So if you have your eye on something, it feels like a no-brainer. 

The other main reason that this could be a good deal for you is if you're planning on buying a gift card for someone anyway. If you have that on your mind already, it's a way to make the most of your money, and then it's up to you if you keep that extra credit for yourself or add it to the gift. We won't tell, promise...

What we would say is it's worth considering delivery times that these gift cards have. Some are digital, but not all - and even then, there can be some delays. So, as always, we'd recommend taking a look into the delivery times before getting to the check-out as these may not arrive in time for the last Cyber Monday discounts.
