What I would give for similar news regarding Amazon.

[–] Buffalox@lemmy.world 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

I haven't used Amazon in more than 20 years. And I'm never going to use them.

I still have 175€ in Amazon gift cards from birthday presents and such. I'm not using them but I still said thank you lol

Even tho that probably doesn't do anything because Amazon already got that money, huh?

Amazon will be delighted to keep the money. Spend the vouchers and donate the stuff you buy to charity if you want, but don’t let Amazon keep 100% margin unused gift cards!

Yeah, you're right. It's stupid to hold onto them because they are already paid for. Maybe I'll treat myself to a new RaspPi (mine is old as time, still model 2B)

You are basically giving them free money.
