Payments Using Amazon Gift Card Balances?

I noticed that Amazon can be used for payments, so I told my kids to give me Amazon gift cards for Christmas so I can buy DAZ items using them. But it looks like I can only specify credit/debit cards using the Amazon payment option when checking out.
So I have several hundred dollars in my Amazon gift card balance but can't see a way to tell DAZ/Amazon to use it for the DAZ bill. Am I missing something? There's not much I really want from Amazon at this time.

I don't think your missing anything... I tried the same thing a while back. I don't have a great recommendation for you, as I just ended up giving up and using my Amazon credit elsewhere.
As far as I know Amazon expects you to spend your gift card balance on Amazon and doesn't allow you to use it for Amazon Pay.
I don't have Amazon but looking at one of their pages, check to see if there's an "add payment method" that might help. And/or query them how you're supposed to spend a gift card.
You can't.

"Amazon.com Gift Cards cannot be used as a payment method to place an order using Amazon Pay. Amazon.com Gift Cards can only be used to purchase eligible goods and services on Amazon.com and certain related sites as provided in the Amazon.com Gift Card Terms and Conditions."
Daz3D could add a DAZ3D Gift Card on Amazon shops for customers to buy with their Amazon Gift Cards balance.
Great idea. I don't think sales will see the comment here, though. Maybe the OP can put in a ticket/request. Although this probably would not allow one to take advantage of gift card sales, it would still be useful for purchasing the gf at full price.
