Amazon keeps thinking up new ways for folks to send/receive/reload/ingest Amazon gift credits. Which is fine with me, because they’ll usually pay you a few bucks to try it out. Click here to check eligibility for their latest targeted offer: Get a $5 Amazon credit on your next order if you send a $50 Amazon gif card by text message by 12/22/18. If needed, use promo code SMS2018.
Don’t forget that the Discover it card has Amazon.com as a 5% cash back category this quarter, so you might consider using that as your funding source if you don’t have anything better. Otherwise, you’re basically buying a gift card but make sure to choose “Text Message” as the delivery option. Yes, you can send it to yourself if you want. You should see a little grey box when you check out with this text:

I’m getting the message that this offer is no longer available.
Still shows for me, but it is targeted and not everyone is eligible.
Unfortunately, you are not eligible for this offer
Not eligible. 🙁
No soup for me either, not eligible. I think I spend so much there that they figure they already have my business and there’s no point in paying me five bucks. 😛
