I love a good bargain!
I received a nice Amazon.com gift certificate as a Christmas gift last December. I really don’t need anything at the moment, so it’s just been sitting in my account. Yesterday I was browsing the iTunes store looking at new iPhone apps. Unlike my Amazon balance, I used up an iTunes Store gift card from Christmas within a few weeks. On a whim, I thought I’d see if I could get an iTunes card with my Amazon $$.
What do you know, I could! Not only that, someone was selling them super-cheap. So I picked up a $50 card for $22. Then I thought about it and ordered a second one right away. That’s like getting $56 for free. I was a little apprehensive about making the buy, but Amazon seems to have a decent customer protection policy (unlike those frauds at eBay). Within a few hours, the seller had emailed me the codes to enter into the iTunes Store. [I did get charged $5 "shipping" on each item, which seems stupid, but I still come out way ahead in the deal - $44.] If you’re someone who makes the occasional (or frequent ) purchase from iTunes, save some money and pick one of these up!
