Title: Made a stupid mistake, who wants $10 worth of something off amazon?
Post by: connor on February 04, 2016, 08:42:20 AM

So I'm from the UK and spent a while racking up survey points for a $10 amazon voucher, but thought they'd just automatically convert it to £ and I could spend it in the UK. Turns out I can't, and shipping is around $5 to the UK anyway, so if anyone from the US has something they want for $10 off amazon I'll get it ordered to your address.

I'd take it! Can you e-mail me the voucher info? hm13hm13@gmail.com?

I've already applied the voucher, I'm afraid. Like I said, I thought it would just automatically convert to GBP.

Can you order an amazon e-gift card with the $10 amount and email the gift card code to a US friend? That's really odd the currency didn't convert.

Buy an e-book. I would recommend this one:

Why don't you contact customer service and see if they will change it for you? Amazon still has the money either way...
