I send regular messages to companies that I use, that I would like to add Bitcoin (did so with Dell, Expedia, along with quite a few other people it seems...) asking them
when (not if) they will start to accept BTC as a payment method.. I also have sent messages to countless other companies, inc BMW, Virgin Atlantic,Tesco online, Easy jet, E-bay, and on and on... but also Amazon.... sent them several messages from 3 different accounts... and not ever had a reply from Amazon until today....- a fob off really, nothing to write home about I know... but... maybe a few more people should give them a nudge..
"
so that they can make arrangements to add Bitcoin as payment option soon." oh you tease!!

It is only a tiny action, but maybe if thousands and thousands of people ask... then..... they will add BTC all the sooner .... and yes I realise they have their own in house system and I realise they may not be properly incentivised as of yet... however... if you have not done so already...do it anyway...get in touch... e-mail them, call them, tweet them.
I personally buy a lot of stuff from Amazon... and would love to see them accept BTC.
e-mail them, call them, tweet them, write them.
Get on it!
: )
and yes it is but a drop in the ocean.... but still does not mean that we could make a wave...
