For the first time consumers across Germany can get Amazon.de Gift Certificates using cash. The new initiative means that consumers can get a Ukash/Amazon voucher in 5000 convenience stores across Germany. The vouchers, available in 20EUR and 50EUR denominations, can then be electronically exchanged at ukash.com. The consumer, or anyone else they choose, will then receive in real time a unique Amazon Gift Certificate. The Gift certificate can then be deposited into an Amazon.De account, providing access to the hundreds of thousands of books, CDs, DVDs, electronics and other items stocked by Amazon.
The Ukash Exchange function allows the consumer to send the Gift Certificate to as a gift, by simply entering in another email address and if required a short message to accompany the gift!
