- pjc50 10mo agoWhy? Just the online convenience? You can take the cash and exchange it for gift cards at a shop.
- nlawalker 10mo agoYes, the convenience.
- bspammer 10mo agoI assume you mean literal cash here. I can’t imagine anyone preferring to have $20 in their Amazon wallet over $20 in their bank account
- compsciphd 10mo agothe first thing I always did when I got a visa (or like) gift card (be it rebate, class action payment et al), was put it into amazon, as it was effectively cashing it out with close to zero friction.
- nly 10mo agoI'd take the cash. I walk past a half dozen cash machines on any given workday where I can deposit the cash in to my bank account and it'll clear and be ready to spend instantaneously.
