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.
The house always wins.
It's store credit in principle it costs them nothing
Do you think Amazon gets its goods for free?
