I don't think this is them going to accept bitcoin anytime soon. This seems like a normal response to just avoid any further inquiries or harassment.

Hahah, the day amazon does say anything about bitcoin..it`ll prob come on the cnn or something.

Rather then just hoping, I rather look at what the twins would help us on the etf then anything else.

Hi!

I can only pay with bitcoins but you don't accept that payment method. I also cannot
exchange the bitcoins for a gift card on a 3rd party web service because none of
them is currently online. Please integrate with bitpay or start accepting bitcoin
payments directly so that I can order from your site.

Got this answer:

Hello,

I'm sorry if we did not meet your expectations. Unfortunately, we don't process Bit
Coins. However, I sent your inquiry and suggestion to the higher managements since
this is not the first suggestion from a customer. We do hope that in the near
future, we may be able to provide payments in all kind of payment methods.

if 10.000 person contact amazon i think he would be consider to accpet bitcoin near and soon Cheesy
the respond is good and i think that a standart procedur to customer service

i hope googleplay will be support bitcoin,  very hard to get positiv feedback about bitcoin in goolgeplay gift/payment metod

I think this is just a standard service response, It is good that they actually respond which means that these requests are in the system somewhere and not just written off as spam, maybe one day but who knows, I wouldn't read too much into this response though to be honest.

meh, click bait Tongue
Kinda, but it shows they are receiving lots of suggestions and it looks pretty good. It's cool that they are sending it to the upper management personnel. So what we need to do is send the similar emails and create even more pressure. Imagine if here everyone did that.

Please close this bullshit this is pure bullish FUD.

No I'm not a bear ..

how it is fud? we can only get better if they will accept it, otherwise will remain in the same situation as we are now

i don't see any fud here, anyway...

they are not doing it for now because the tx limit is ridiculous for their big business

so don't expect them to accept bitcoin before 2016 at the very least

OP telling us that amazon WILL add bitcoin.

...

..

Bitcoin will be soon accepted by all big vendors, now we need to push it to the small guy too, othwrwise small businesses will fail at an even higher rate.

They suck at innovation and this is the perfect way to gain a little market share with a small business by accepting bitcoin.

Everyone should contact all their local small businesses to accept bitcoin payments ASAP!  Cool

What we should be concentrating on is giving CUSTOMERS incentive to get bitcoins, earn them, spend them, and want more of them.  How many customers of Amazon today think 'nope, I won't use my credit card on one of the safest retailing sites on the Internet.  I'll go out and buy bitcoins and then use them.  Yeah, that'll be easier'.

Might not be easier, but might be cheaper.
In some countries you'll pay taxes for international credit card transactions, that surely will be higher than the cost of buying bitcoins locally, and sometimes you have to pay to maintain your credit card.

The revolution will be monetized!
They can take them now or take them later. I don't care, I no longer use them. If they want my money again they will have to take bitcoin, because bitcoin IS my money.

yes can start accepting for this if they find a big number of users want to use this for purchase
if they get enough requests for this then they may consider this but it will take some time, but it will add value to bitcoin when one of the biggest ecommerce company amazon starts accepting bitcoin payments for shopping.

I hope people realize the reason why online retailers want to support bitcoin is because there's quite a number of early adopters sitting pretty on large stashes.  Making it easier for these users to part with their bitcoins is what business is all about.  What happens to the bitcoins?  They'll instantly get converted into US$.  Amazon is not going to be left holding the bag with a 75% value drop like we saw in 2014.

exactly what i've said in the past, the whole no consumer protection thing is really a problem for a lot of people.  it would be more headache for an online retailer to deal with rather that a good thing

It's not an issue as it probably wouldn't be any different than using a credit card. Sites like Amazon would use a payment processor so if anything went wrong you'd be protected by that.

I thought i read something awhile back saying that amazon would never accept bitcoin, or maybe it was paypal Huh Huh

It might have been a Time story that you read saying that. About a year ago Amazon’s head of payments said that Amazon was not planning to accept Bitcoin. Maybe things have changed now, but I won't believe it until Someone high up at Amazon confirms it.

America’s largest online retailer has no plans to hop on the Bitcoin bandwagon. Amazon’s head of payments told Re/Code that the company has no current plans to accept the digital currency. “Obviously it gets a lot of press and we have considered it,” he said, “but we’re not hearing from customers that it’s right for them.”
yeah, that was the one i read...

if so, why do the early adopters trying so hard to convince others that paypal, microsoft, amazon is about to implement btc?
