Return me ALL my money for that, fuck your girftcard coupon shit! That is the least you can do and still doesn't change the fact that I can't buy to own anything there, so why the fuck would I?
Jellyfin and torrents for the win!
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?
I buy DVDs for this reason now
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...
Nope, DVDs are like $3-5. I don't care about resolution. I watch old shitty movies.
They generally credit the original payment method. It could be likely that he paid for the movie using an Amazon giftcard balance.
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.
