Soooooo after redeeming a gift card sent (electronically) from my family in the UK, I realized that it’s applied to a UK Amazon account rather than my regular Amazon account (which, apparently, it made for me automatically?)
I see now that you can’t redeem it on US Amazon accounts if they purchased it from UK Amazon.
Does this make sense? Anything I can do? It wasn’t a very large amount but it was thoughtful and would prefer that my relatives not know as I don’t want them to feel bad (and they would because that’s just the type of people they are).
I never would’ve thought that US Amazon would’ve been different from UK Amazon
Can you do that? As long as that’s OK and I won’t have any issues because I don’t have a UK credit card or bank account, I’d do it in a heartbeat. I’d love the British HP books!
They should take a US credit card. I order stuff from a Liverpool hobby shop all the time. They deduct the VAT for a US sale, and it is often here in 3 or 4 days. Couldn’t be easier!
I just got a box with goodies from Selfridges, paid for with my US Costco Amex. I order stuff from the UK once in a while, no problems. The stores there prefer DHL for international shipping.
I order things from the German Amazon and Spanish Amazon all the time. They take our credit cards just fine. Shipping is even pretty reasonable. I don’t get prime on those though.
