Better late then never my friend! I got rid of mine about 10 years ago. If a product only exists on Amazon, then I don't want it

god damn patriot!

I used to collect Amazon gift cards from walking apps so I could get books and other things from them. After buying a small Jackery unit and solar panel last week, I've switched my gift cards to other, non-US options. I refuse to even give them pitiful ad revenue.

What's the European alternative?

[โ€“] nuko147@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

Find a webpage comparing prices from different shops and buy from shops in your country or even city. For Germany I use idealo.

I deleted mine a year ago and I've found, that I don't even need it.

If I'm buying something online, I just go to the actual website of the vendor/producer

I have one remaining but have deleted almost everything. My monthly cost is like 30 cents. :)

Dammit when I do stuff like this I always forget to scream it from the rooftops for approval.
