Your suggestions please.

I have ended up with a $125 gift card on Amazon.com (as opposed to Amazon.co.uk). Didn't occur to me that it wouldn't show on my .co.uk account as well.

Sooo, any ideas what is reasonable to buy from that doesn't incur huge shipping etc charges, all the bike bits I've looked at end up costing a lot in extra charges, to the extent where it isn't worth it.

Doesn't need to be bike related.

Just out of interest, can you order from the US site, and then do the usually free return to the UK site?

Might be a way to get the money onto a place where you can spend it on something you wanted.

If you can do this.. Just order anything thats free shipping ?

Can you buy digital products? Possibly things like kindle books or software licences (I've bought our last few annual office 365 subscriptions through amazon/Argos as it works out less than buying direct from Microsoft).

Or can you just sell the voucher on ebay to covert it to cash?

Can you buy an Amazon.co.uk voucher?

I don't think orders on .com show up on you .co.uk order history - they are different account / logins -  so theres no mechanism to action a return on the uk site.

Thanks

No, you can't buy .co.uk vouchers, unfortunately, nor do the returns thing. But digital purchase might be a good idea

Have you messaged them? They are usually quite helpful if you just explain what you are looking for.
