Just wondered how on earth you could, bank amazon vouchers ? I have a toluna £10 one and i am wanting to save them up for Christmas. So this might really help. ( Save me buying bits and bobs )

could you save them somewhere on your pc until Christmas? my amazon one has an expiry date of April 2010. unfortunately mine won't last that long! my two boys are doing a production of seussical the musical this week and would like the soundtrack on CD...amazon here I come!

Hi Choccy

I think you can add the Amazon vouchers to your Amazon account if you have one then you can use them next time you want to pay for something. Or what I do is I have made up two new folders in my email and called one vouchers and one used, then as soon as I receive a voucher I move it into the voucher folder and once I have used it I move it again into the used folder so I can see it again if I need to in case it doesnt go through or something. This way I never delete one by mistake and can keep them in the voucher folder until I want to use them.

you could leave them in your inbox but then it would be harder to keep track of them!

Another great idea rufusdog, Im going to have to have a look around amazon and see if i can find any info on it... Otherwise it will be folders here i come.

Thing is my boys only ever seem to want games, so i want to make sure i have some saved up for the latest release games Of course any bargains will be bought through the year as and when i find them.

I went onto Amazon, signed into my account then there is a tab at the top which says 'gift certificates' click on it then on the right hand sided there is a bit you can click on (very technical ) which says 'apply to account' then key the code in the box and it will show your balance - it tells you that that amount will be available for you to use next time you shop..

I have now banked 2 £5 ones as I did have enough on lightspeed to claim one woo hoo....

Well done Orchid I didnt know how to do it on there. I am going to leave mine in my email folders as I dont want my OH signing into my Amazzon and seeing how much I have or he will be wanting to spend them in no time. Want to save them up to get either him or my daughter something.
