Everyone is talking about BitCoins, but could be much faster now another alternative currency in Germany foothold – the “Amazon Coins”. Kindle Fire owners can now pay at Amazon.de with the Amazons taler when shopping apps or games. For Amazon U.S. customers it was an alternative to “In God We Trust” since May 2013, “In Jeff Bezos We Trust”. As a starting capital buyers of Amazon tablets free 500 Coins – which corresponds to the equivalent of 5 euros. When you purchase additional Coins, the company serves a standard discount. 500 Coins cost 4.80 euros, 2,500 Coins cost 23 euros, 10,000 Coins’s for 90 €
While customers in the app download as with the in-app shopping so they can save up to 10 percent, the app developers will continue to receive the full bonus of 70 percent. For e-books, the coins are not considered, while it is likely to remain, everything else would not be with the German book price fixing because of the discount compatible. The regular acquired Coins are valid indefinitely, welcome money for Fire buyers expires after one year.
the gaming community are virtual currencies been common practice – within online role-playing games like World of Warcraft billion values ??are already moving world. Not coincidentally, Amazon.com has the coins also explicitly convertible to the direction of “play money” explains: “Customers will be able to purchase in-game currencies with Amazon Coins,” it says in the FAQs to the new currency. In the German FAQs, however, is something of a general “from See by products on the Amazon App Store,” the speech that can “change over time”.
For the customers the advantage of Amazon Coins will mainly be spending money even easier – eventually decreases the threshold, when you spend not euros, but “Amazon Coins” by One-Click Shopping. Through the conversion value also could be lost and the purely numerical Überlick, almost like when holidaying in foreign currency countries – if 10 euros to 1,000 Amazon Coins are uses of lire effect. Still it could be virtual if one day the crypto-currency BitCoin can convert directly to Amazon coins.
