Amazon today announced the availability of their Amazon coins as a payment option in the UK and Christmas came early for all Kindle owners who received 400 coins which at today’s exchange rate amounts to £4. This will be arriving directly into their account.
The coins can be used for the purchase of apps, games and a broad range of in-app items on the Amazon.co.uk Appstore and on Kindle Fire.
You can get discounts for buying them in bulk & the US levels which we would expect to be repeated over here are on coins:
,
- 500 4%
- 1,000 5%
- 2,500 8%
- 5,000 and up 10%
They’ve been around a while in the US and, in our view, are a welcome addition to the UK market.
