Amazon Account Updates?

[gurnemanz]

As opposed to greedy BT I suppose.

Last week we couldn't want the tennis from Stockholm, which we discovered was BT Sports only. We used to have that with our BT account, but the account was costing £00s more than a similar offering from EE - which is also now part of the same enterprise - so we switched.
Mostly that hasn't been a problem, and Prime TV has most of the sport (tennis mostly) we want to watch. This week's Turin offerings are fine on Prime.

I know streaming is the future and note that BT Sport is going to be sold to American streamer DAZN, at which point I might abandon them. I have watched sport via Amazon and it is "fine" but do find the user interface less amenable than broadcast TV.

I think this will get withdrawn. Amazon is sabre rattling in its bid to set up, in effect, its own currency/credit card/payment platform. To be watched with great interest. And no little trepidation.

Really?

... just don't use it!

Absolutely...its not over yet......
But if it happens I'll just switch cards. Don't think Amazon would ever restrict it to their own though - too customer-oriented for that.

Enforced non-drivers among us rely on home delivery. With Brexit empty-shelf syndrome/unwanted substitutions/missing items in online orders (and a very limited, mainly fresh-veg diet), same-day Amazon Fresh deliveries have become an essential backup to Sainsburys, Ocado etc....
(And the Cognac is competitively-priced...)...

So it goes in UK-Today...

As some of us expected...they left it very late, but.....(I was still wondering, to which to switch...now I don't have to......beneficiary of my own irresolution...)

I suspect they will settle, but fortunately my 'internet credit card' is a Mastercard. I only use Amazon with marketplace sellers for books I can't find anywhere else - and am always delighted to find anywhere at all.

Frankly Jayne I didn’t switch and thought if they are so greedy I’d take my custom elsewhere - as it is now I’ll continue as before.

I did switch and, for doing so, got a £20 credit.

I’ll settle for not being bought!

Can you now switch back, or would that be greedy?

[Bryn]

I can, and may, indeed, do so, but not until I have 'spent' the £20 credit.
The card I switched from paid a (very small) cash-back on all purchases. So does the one I replaced it with, but at a still lower rate.

I was still holding out, but bought some books yesterday, and got the £20 credit.
