This is a website to promote its own credit card, which is the discount of Amazon VISA card. I have this card. After the application is approved, I will give you this gift card, and there will be a 5% refund for every Amazon purchase in the future. But to apply for a VISA card in the United States, you need to have a social security number and credit history. Don’t think about this in China.
What is the use of Amazon gift cards, except for buying things?
The role of gift cards can be great. I am the first batch of Haitao people, and later I also do it full-time. I am also a veteran in the industry.
Amazon’s private ecosystem
When it comes to the role of gift cards, we must first talk about a private ecosystem behind Amazon as an e-commerce platform, just like Taobao has an invisible ecosystem of swiping orders and picking up wool behind Taobao, and so does Amazon. Overseas Amazon almost monopolizes most of the traffic of overseas shopping, so there are many purchasing agents, buyers, and replacements that rely on this platform.
Amazon does purchasing agents well, and basically does not charge customers extra money. For example, if something costs $100, it will charge customers $100. So how does he make money?
The role of gift cards
For $100 goods, purchasing agents can use the $100 gift card to pay. The key is, how much did he buy this $100 gift card? The amazing 80 or so, the general 90 or 95 dollars are available. That is to say, the difference in the purchase of gift cards can be directly used as part of the income of purchasing agents.
Where do low-cost gift cards come from?
There are many sources of gift cards. If you want to know, you can see my previous answer.
The significance of gift cards to Amazon itself
As the ancestor of e-commerce and the overlord of overseas markets, Amazon’s own gift cards have strong monetary attributes. For example, the US tax refund receiving method can choose a gift card. As long as it has a little monetary attribute, the gift card itself has strong value, and the funds for purchasing gift cards will accumulate a lot. Moreover, according to the understanding of my overseas shopping friends, many people forgot to use the gift card when they bought it, and problems such as the balance is not used up are endless, hehe.
If you can play the gift card very well, you can already beat 90% of the office workers!
