  Gift cards and store credit are such a kick to the balls. Unless they let you buy shit AT COST then they’re literally not out anything.

    They gave the guy £10.99 in credit for a £5.99 film, so they’re probably taking some sort of loss.

      Admittedly, I missed the second £5. That said, don’t you need to pay for a Prime subscription to get access to this service in the first place? They’re gonna get that money back pretty quickly.

        They gave him regular Amazon credit, so he can spend it on physical goods if he likes.

        Do you think Amazon gets its goods for free?

    Dvds won’t last years either unless you copy them over

      Nevermind the fact that the standard definition playback looks like a smeared turd when you play it on a modern high resolution display. I’ll stick to ripping Blu-ray.

        I think when someone casually says DVD they’re including Blu-ray, like if you say Kleenex, you might be talking about Puffs or Scott or something else…

  You’re saying you can’t buy to own anything… at Amazon?

    Not in their cloud, no.

      Then buy something physical – there are literally millions upon millions of products he can spend the credit on.

  jellyfin+cloudstream for when I don’t have the mood to click a couple buttons on radarr/sonarr is the perfect solution

  They generally credit the original payment method. It could be likely that he paid for the movie using an Amazon giftcard balance.
