What is your favorite item that you have purchased on Amazon, and why?Amazon thumbnail

The favorite thing that I’ve bought on Amazon is a necklace that has the initial of the first letter of my name. It’s really good quality, and I like it so much that I never take it off!

I am not an Amazon Prime Member.

Why do you choose Amazon instead of local options or other websites?

Amazon Customer of the Week – Ruan

This week, we are featuring Ruan from South Africa! We sent him some questions to learn a bit about what he loves most about Amazon, and how he’s using our Amazon cards.

How old are you, and where are you located? 

I am 37 years old and I’m based in Cape Town, South Africa.

Tell us something special or unique about where you live, or why you like it? 

Cape Town is a beautiful coastal city at the southern tip of Africa. We have one of the most unique mountains (Table Mountain) looking over the city, and is very popular with tourists visiting from all over the world.

What is your favorite item that you have purchased on Amazon, and why? Amazon Thumbnail Image

Tricky question, but I would say all of my Dungeons and Dragons books! If I had to choose it would be The Dungeon Master Guide. 🙂

Are you an Amazon Prime Member? If so, what services do you use the most? Music? Video? Faster Shipping?

Yes! I only currently use it for Video and it’s great!!

Why do you choose Amazon instead of local options or other websites? 

Amazon just has everything and it’s priced better than our local stores! New releases usually takes a lot of time before they become available in South Africa – so it’s really great to order new products and have them before the local suppliers. 🙂

Are you using any additional services to ship your Amazon products to your country? 

No

Do you have any tips or tricks to get the most value out of Amazon?

Try to focus on the thing you are looking for, and have a look at the recommended products as Amazon is really good with recommending other products based on your search etc. Try not to spend too much haha 🙂

How did you find MyGiftCardSupply, and what is your favorite things about this service?

I Googled a bit, and I just love it! I prefer to use Paypal as payment wherever I can – and this makes it so convenient for me.

What kinds of things do you like to do for fun?

I love to create! So anything filmmaking related, music related or just anything creative – Like using my 3D printer to create amazing things, and then of-course, designing games for my Dungeons & Dragons game night 🙂

Amazon Fire HD (2019) Review

We always make sure to have our Amazon cards on hand when a new tablet comes in, and honestly, this one was rumored for quite some time. The Amazon Fire HD 2019 is an interesting tablet, especially when you consider the fact that it only costs around $149. It’s way cheaper than an iPad, but does it have what it takes in order to compete with Apple tablets?

Great specs for the price

The first thing you’ll notice about the new Amazon Fire HD is that it has some pretty good specs. The processor is 2.0 Ghz, so it’s pretty powerful. The battery life was also improved to offer around 20% more screen time. On top of that, the new model comes with up to 512 GB ofAmazon thumbnail expandable storage. So now you’ll have 200 GB total for the unit, which is more than ok. Another great addition to Amazon’s new tablet is Enhanced Wi-Fi. It’s basically a second antenna that you can use in order to obtain better signal even if you’re in Landscape or Portrait mode.

Should you upgrade from the 2017 Amazon Fire HD?

It’s important to note that the new specs aren’t exactly that impressive if you already have the previous model. The Amazon Fire HD 2017 still holds up, and there just isn’t too much that’s different with the new model. You’ll also still have the main issue with most Amazon Fire HD tablets this time around too. And that’s the fact that these units just feel slow. They aren’t that great at fast browsing or multitasking. In fact, some tasks done alone take quite some time to load, let alone the length of time it takes for loading when multitasking.

Conclusion

Amazon is busy with lots of new creations currently. It’s currently spending billions to create its prime one day delivery services. But the Fire OS, which is basically a fork of Android is simply not up to par with the iOS. It’s ok for what it is, but that, combined with the specs that were just slightly improved, might mean purchasing something better would be the smarter way to go. However, if your budget for a tablet is $150 and you’re using most of Amazon’s services anyway, this one might be worth a try!

Amazon Customer of the Week – Tim

This week, we are featuring Tim from Germany! We sent him some questions to learn a bit about what he loves most about Amazon, and how he’s using our Amazon cards.

How old are you, and where are you located? 

I’m 15 and from Germany 😉

Tell us something special or unique about where you live, or why you like it? 

I love that nearly everything is connected via rails and/or roads! 😀 If you want to go somewhere nearby, but it’s too far away to walk, you can just hop on the next bus or train and go there! 😉

What is your favorite item that you have purchased on Amazon, and why? Amazon Thumbnail

Season 6 and 7 of Steven Universe via the US Amazon, because I don’t like the German translation that much and over here, they’re all in a messed up order 🙂 I know it sounds like I’m a bit too old for that, but trust me… Even if you are 36, you will probably still love this show! 😉

Are you an Amazon Prime Member? If so, what services do you use the most? Music? Video? Faster Shipping? 

I am an Amazon Prime Member, but only in Germany (at least my sister is) and I really just use it for watching series and faster shipping. Amazon is now spending billions to create its one day delivery service.

Why do you choose Amazon instead of local options or other websites? 

Simply because some Series and/or translation don’t exist here in Germany. I really like buying electronics on Amazon too, because It’s sometimes cheaper than local stores.

Are you using any additional services to ship your Amazon products to your country? 

Yes a VPN. I don’t know if it’s necessary to watch series with it over Amazon, but I simply feel more safe with it. 😉

Do you have any tips or tricks to get the most value out of Amazon? 

Not really ‘;)

How did you find MyGiftCardSupply, and what is your favorite things about this service? 

I found it over a website called netzwelt.de. The first gift-card I bought was for Hulu 😉 The best thing about this service is that you can pay with PayPal from nearly all over the world! I tried some other gift-card sellers online before (to get the Hulu gift-card), but they would only let me pay with an American Bank Account or PayPal. The delivery is always pretty quick and I only had to wait once because they were out of stock (which nearly never happens 😉 )

What kinds of things do you like to do for fun? 

Retro-Gaming and recently binge watching 😉 I also like to hang out with friends and go out or watch movies etc.

Amazon Spending Billions to Create Prime One Day Delivery

Amazon is constantly trying to improve their business, and now they’re innovating in ways we haven’t ever seen before. This is great for them as well as their customers because it brings them significant benefits that other companies just can’t compete with. And that’s why we’re getting Amazon cards, after all. One of Amazon’s main focuses right now is to create its own (even quicker) shipping approach. They are also currently looking to implement their cashierless technology in movie theaters.

Why is this a problem?

Based on Amazon, it seems that the fulfillment and shipping costs of one-day shipping are much higher. Up to 50% more shipping and fulfillment has been done by the company in the past 3 months, which comes out to around $9.6 billion in shipping alone. This also includes its Amazon Thumbnail Imageexpansion in the logistics business since they’re trying to create their own one day delivery system without having to rely on third parties. Customers obviously enjoy the idea of having the two day delivery during the busy seasons go from 2 days down to 1. That means investing a lot in its logistics, which is not only an important aspect of their business but also their new venture into one day shipping. Obviously doing that type of thing is not going to be an easy task to achieve, but they’re hoping all their hard work will pay off substantially in the future.

Will this expansion happen?

Amazon relies on people continually buying more and more stuff, and they also rely on customers wanting their products as fast as possible. There’s an urgency to receive the product quickly, Amazon knows that and that’s why they are actively investing in this. Amazon is also working with using drones for delivery, and anything else that may speed up the delivery process. It’s clear that the company is constantly trying to improve, and customers are bound to reap the benefits. I mean, who doesn’t want to order something while sitting on the couch at night and have it waiting for them when they get up the next morning? In some regions, Amazon already delivers the same day, in as quickly as a few hours. So they already know this can be done. It’s simply trying to figure out how to expand this to every location. It’s a great opportunity for Amazon to make customers even happier than they already are with them. And while it’s a major investment for them, there’s no doubt it’ll be worth it. There’s a reason why so many people flock to Amazon to make their purchases. People love getting the items they buy as quickly as possible. Now there will soon be even more of reason to choose Amazon for your online shopping!

Amazon could put its Go cashierless technology in theaters

We like the idea of stocking up on Amazon cards, and it’s also important to learn what Amazon is trying to do with their business ideas. Right now, Amazon is trying to expand their Amazon Go locations, and the interesting thing is that they want to expand their tech with other companies too.

Regal Cinemas will use Amazon Go’s tech soon

The reason why Amazon wants to do that is to provide customers with a seamless and unique purchase system. The good thing about all of this is that you can have access to the mini groceries and airport shops owned by CineWorld. Of course this might also go really well at Amazon Thumbnail Imagecinemas too. The idea of having such a business system is amazing and it has the potential to grow and expand quite a lot in the next few years. The trick with such a business idea is to make it simpler for people to do their shopping and enjoy their experience. There are 16 Go stores right now and more will be coming soon. Making this tech available to other stores will be yet another source or revenue for Amazon.

More and more third parties are interested in this technology

It’s easy to see why Amazon would be interested in this. A lot of people want a hands-off approach and that’s why it makes a lot of sense to expand and adjust the process in a way that’s really unique and different. The business world is always changing and there’s no real knowledge as of now if the Amazon logo will still be available in the third parties or not. However, the implementation of such a system for third parties might take a while. Yet it’s great to see that some companies are interested in this type of business. It’s certainly going to become more and more interesting as a company proposition in the near future. Implementing it correctly might take a little work in the short term, but with a bit of trial and error we might be able to use Amazon cards at other companies too, which would be awesome. Hopefully this technology is a success, and it will be quite the achievement for many businesses!

Sega Genesis is Making a Comeback

We always expect top of the line results and good quality from Sega. But in recent years even if we have had Nintendo cards or Amazon cards, we don’t usually tend to use those on Sega products. The company has been more focused on its software initiative. But now they are launching a new Sega Genesis in the form of the Sega Genesis Mini.

What do we know about the Sega Genesis Mini?

There are some interesting things to note when it comes to the Sega Genesis Mini. What we like the most is the fact that this is very similar to a toy, yet it’s a console. It’s around 55% smaller than the original Sega Genesis. It’ll cost you $79.99 and all you have to do is put it in front of the TV and connect it with an HDMI chord. The unit has 2 USB controllers that replicate the original gamepads that Sega Genesis had. You will also get 42 games in total which is a pretty good deal. When compared to the PlayStation classic, it cost about $100 and it had a similar set of features, but less games.

Quality of life improvements and games

You do get some quality of life improvements that make this console very good for the money. First of all, you can hold the start button and go directly to the main menu without having to actually get up. The library can be seen in a bookshelf format, helping you store and see more games. And then there’s obviously the list of games. You are going to love the game selection. There are tons of cool classics here, but some stand out such as Sonic the Hedgehog, Ecco the Dolphin, Gunstar Heroes, Earthworm Jim, Thunder Force III, Castle of Illusion and World of Illusion, Super Fantasy Zone, Shining Force, Comix Zone, Castlevania, Bloodlines and so on. It’s safe to say that Sega Genesis is set to bring in a lot of nostalgia. It’s immersive, and the fact that this unit costs less than other Mini consoles is a definite plus. You should definitely consider giving it a try if possible, and it’s available right now!

Amazon Customer of the Week – Leah

For the last week in August, we are featuring Leah from Ohio! We sent her some questions to learn a bit about what she loves most about Amazon, and how she’s using our Amazon cards.

How old are you, and where are you located? 

I’m 25 and live in Centerville, Ohio.

Tell us something special or unique about where you live, or why you like it? 

Centerville has this really nice forest walking path called Sugarcreek MetroPark.  It’s great for a peaceful walk with family or your dog and it has this little woodsy section where it almost looks like a tunnel made out of trees!

What is your favorite item that you have purchased on Amazon, and why?

My favorite item that I’ve purchased on Amazon would have to be the Bluewave Bedding Ultra Slim pillow.  It is a soft, thin memory foam pillow and it’s fantastic for people, like myself, who have neck pain; it’s like sleeping on a cloud!

Are you an Amazon Prime Member? If so, what services do you use the most? Music? Video? Faster Shipping? 

I am not currently an Amazon Prime Member, but I had a free Prime trial that just ended.  The shipping was so fast I’m considering actually buying Prime.

Why do you choose Amazon instead of local options or other websites? 

Amazon has better choices for products that I’m looking for, along with better prices.  There’s a lot of variety on Amazon.

Are you using any additional services to ship your Amazon products to your country? 

No.

Do you have any tips or tricks to get the most value out of Amazon? 

If you want to price watch an amazon item, there’s this great little site called CamelCamelCamel.  If an item on your wishlist goes down, you’ll be sent an email alert so you can go on amazon and snag that deal!

How did you find MyGiftCardSupply, and what is your favorite things about this service? 

I found MyGiftCardSupply by googling “best gift card sellers online” and the 5 star reviews caught my attention!

What kinds of things do you like to do for fun? 

I really enjoy cooking for my family and trying new foods.  A recent success was a non-dairy chicken pot pie!

Amazon Customer of the Week – Samuel

For the third week in August, we are featuring Samuel from Venezuela! We sent him some questions to learn a bit about what he loves most about Amazon, and how he’s using our Amazon cards.

How old are you, and where are you located? 

I’m 27 and I’m located in Caracas, Venezuela.

Tell us something special or unique about where you live, or why you like it? 

We have a tropical climate which is neither hot or cold. It is really perfect in that regard. Venezuela is also a super cheap country to live in.

What is your favorite item that you have purchased on Amazon, and why? 

A Toshiba external hard drive so that I could backup some important files of mine. I also took advantage of a sale and bought some Kindle books.

Are you an Amazon Prime Member? If so, what services do you use the most? Music? Video? Faster Shipping? Amazon Thumbnail Image

No, I’m currently not a member. (Also, Amazon Prime Students now get Amazon Music Unlimited for only $0.99!)

Why do you choose Amazon instead of local options or other websites? 

Usually, because I compare prices with Amazon’s competitors and it’s typically cheaper to buy with them.

Are you using any additional services to ship your Amazon products to your country? 

Miami locker and a service similar to DHL.

Do you have any tips or tricks to get the most value out of Amazon? 

Look around for similar items on their website. Sometimes there are brands that have better gamma to offer, but are not as recognized. Those are generally cheaper and of better quality.

How did you find MyGiftCardSupply, and what is your favorite things about this service? 

A YouTuber was promoting MyGiftCardSupply and I happened to watch it. What I love about the company is their discount codes and the mega variety they have for cards to purchase.

What kinds of things do you like to do for fun? 

Multiplayer games, reading, contact with nature, and eating.

Amazon Prime Students can now get Amazon Music Unlimited for only $0.99

We’re all focused on getting Amazon cards as we try to find the best possible deals out there and enjoy some of what Amazon has to offer. The challenge is that for some people, Amazon services can be pretty expensive. Currently, Amazon is trying to do something about that by offering a less expensive music membership.

You need to be a student to take advantage of this

The new price of $0.99 for Amazon Music Unlimited is available only if you are on a Student Prime plan. Otherwise, you’ll have to pay the Amazon Thumbnail Imageregular price. That being said, existing customers can add on unlimited music. And new college students can actually get a trial for 6 months. Normally, it costs $7.99 for regular customers. But they’re wanting to battle Spotify, so they need any upper hand that they can get right now. And in this case, the Amazon Music Unlimited price makes a lot of sense. We aren’t sure whether they’ll give a discount for all customers in the near future, so we’ll have to wait and see.

After 6 months, the price increases

Yes, after the 6-month trial at that price, you’ll have to start paying the regular $6.49 Student price for Amazon’s Unlimited Music. You will have the $1 Amazon Music Unlimited add-on, if you want. It’s more expensive when compared to Apple Music, but you also get video and audio streaming services with this. Not to mention prime deliveries. It’s a pretty great deal, and it’s clear that Amazon is trying it’s hardest to offer the best value to their customers. Is this going to be enough for students to gravitate to Amazon Music Unlimited? The service is great, not as comprehensive as Spotify, but it does have a huge selection of content. Only time will tell whether more people will shift to Amazon Music Unlimited. But this is a good service, and making it so inexpensive for students will most likely have its benefits. Whether it will stick or not is hard to tell, but even then having such an option is always nice to have.
