Hardly a product seems its users so much fans and enemies and little to separate between them as the Amazon Coins. I can well understand the way the objections of the critics. Yes, it's stupid that you can not take partial payments for small residual amounts and then fill the remaining price with direct debit. One is forced to recharge new coins if you want to use the remains on, and it is almost never entirely on (although I have been down to 15 coins). Yes, some people may be tempted by the comfort of the existing coins to buy more than they wanted to. But the risk of eventually with other means of payment. For kids or shopaholics, the system may not be appropriate, but who has his shopping behavior under control, here is a practical method of payment, when you just yet saves a bit sometimes. With selected apps, there are even given coins, and when I got for example, multiple free 40 Coins, I can get over 15 possibly remaining easier, because for this I paid nothing yes. My 2500 Coins kept many months, because I was thinking from the beginning, what I want to buy it (I can not influence me from eventual Free Coins in my decision). Problems I had, incidentally, never, Coins and apps were always where they should be. Now I have figured out what I want to buy soon and again in 2500 charged less because of the savings effect than because I have such a good overview how much I spend on apps. One deceive the coins, the other they help to keep measure, so different are the people - fortunately.
