Will (should) Woot ever accept Amazon Visa Reward Points as payment?

Jun 28, 2012 11:54 AM

Since we all know they are part of the Amazon machine, does it not make sense that Woot should start taking Amazon Reward points earned on the Amazon Visa card as an acceptable payment option? For that matter purchases on Woot using the Amazon Visa card should receive triple point rewards just as they do with purchases at Amazon... What do you think?...

I don't know if Woot ever will, but it would be awesome if they did. I especially would like to be able to get triple points on Woot purchases.

You can trade reward points in for statement credits so in a way they do. I just changed in 30,000 points to get a 300 dollar credit.

It's also easier to track spending and rewards if you get a statement credit instead of spending the points on purchases.

I wouldn't use them if they did. I don't use the feature on Amazon as it reduces the actual points you accumulate since the 3% reward is based the amount charged to the card. If you reduce the purchase price by applying points, you reduce the new points you get. Like gideonfrost, I use the statement credits.

What would be wonderful (and something that may make me spend more money on Woot! than I already do) is to apply the 3% reward level to Woot! purchases.

+1 for the get-statement-credits-instead-of-robbing-yourself-of-points-earned people. That's always been my philosophy. I was literally just explaining this to a friend of mine a few days ago.

I love the idea but I dont really want it to happen. I like how they are being kept seperate if it just becomes woot.amazon.com I dont think I will love it as much anymore

Sure. It'd be nice to see some positive changes from this acquisition.

Not a farewell, just a forced redirect.

It's true, Local.Woot is no longer, but please don't despair.

Never-ending savings are still to be found on Deals.Woot each and every day, so come on in. Don't think of it as a time for tears. Think of it as a way to bring us all closer together under one roof.

Sorry

This is only for people who have bought woots

We restrict voting to users who have purchased something from one of the other Woot stores. It's not just because we want your money (which we do) - it's the best way to be sure all the votes are coming from real people and not spam-bots or phony accounts. The best way we can think of, anyway. For now.

You can always get voting rights by buying something from one of Woot's other sites:

Purchases through Deals.Woot don't count, because in that case you're not buying anything from us. And we don't have your account information for those purchases.

If you think you've bought something from Woot before and still can't vote, make sure you're logged in with the same account you used to buy from us.

Geez, why so negative?

You have to vote up more before you can vote down.

Don't get us wrong. Negativity has its place. And downvotes are just as essential as upvotes when it comes to making Deals.Woot a useful place to find deals.

But when your votes lean so heavily toward the dark side, we have to wonder. Go vote up a few things. Accentuate the positive for a little while. It'll do you some good, and it'll do the site some good, too. Then you can get back to dealing out the smackdowns, OK?

Too late, we all heard you!

Hmm... you're wanting to take your vote back?

Well, that's a bit tricky. See, we do a lot of stuff with your vote, using it to work out the popularity of what you voted for, compare that to all the other things voted on, tally up our leaderboard, work out your reputation. Someday we'll do a little cartoon showing just how hard your vote is working.

Anyway, taking votes back messes all that up, so we give you five minutes, in case you just mis-clicked. After that we've got to say no take-backs. Luckily, votes are free, so feel free to throw them around left and right wherever you see fit.
