Amazon Gift Cards to pay your bills?

[emma_skye12]

I get a lot of amazon gift cards for skype. A lot of people want that as an option.

My question is, has anyone found a way to use them to pay their bills? I mean
I feel like I've bought everything I could want from amazon. All I really want is to
pay rent and money for gas and food like everyone else. Is there a nifty way to
turn amazon credit into real usable money.

I read something about a credit card offered by amazon, I'm not sure if you can
use amazon credit to pay off the debits, but its just a thought.

Also I thought about buying something re-salable.

~What are your thoughts on this subject?

You might be able to sell them on eBay or sell them to a gift card exchange for less than their retail value., but you might want to stop taking them as payment if you do not need anything from Amazon.

Other than selling exchanging them as Shaun suggested, you might want to start turning your members on to Giftrocket, so that you can get cash. There's at least one thread here about them.

Another good idea is to buy all of your household necessities from there. Like toilet paper, toothpaste, pet supplies. Just about anything you can think of is on it. However, groceries always seem WAY too overpriced imo. But there's all kinds of other things that you would normally buy from a usual store.

By the sounds of it, the best thing you could do is stop accepting gift cards as payment and just get your members to tip you for Skype/just take you private :twocents-02cents:

Thanks guys! House Hold items would be a really good thing to spend them on, since we all need those.

About the giftrocket, I do use giftrocket as well, but i recently found out that giftrocket was holding some of my higher
transactions (500$+) and asking the sender for a confirmation in email. Sadly i had already done the shows.

So I learned not to do shows until I have received payment in full! But thanks again everyone for the advice and :twocents-02cents:

They have also been known to cancel a transaction without a legit reason days or a week after saying you have received the gift via email. Happened to me twice.

With giftrockets, don't do shows until you have the money in your account.
