Use Purse.io’s Bitcoin special to save an extra 10% off on Amazon Black Friday specials

With Black Friday only now one day away nearly every company has published their lists of what gleeful shoppers can acquire, but what is there was a way to save 10 percent on top of those purchases again?

Bitcoin shopping service PurseIO, Inc. (Purse.io) is offering just that service if you make your Amazon Black Friday purchases via Bitcoin.

The service, which traditionally offers a 5 percent discount, works by acquiring unwanted Amazon gift cards and certificates and then on selling them to users for Bitcoin; a credit is placed in the users’ account that is then used to purchase goods from Amazon.

If you’ve not used Purse.io or even Bitcoin before obtaining 10 percent off your Amazon Black Friday purchases is easy:

  • Buy bitcoins:  users can purchase Bitcoin from any service although the company recommends setting up a Coinbase account as users are able to link that account for instant transfer
  • Spend: wait until Black Friday to save 10 percent off instantly on everything at Amazon, including the Black Friday specials

The service only works if you live in the United States however if you live elsewhere you are able to use a separate feature on Purse.io called “Name Your Discount” which allows a user to potentially save up to 20-30 percent by copying and pasting their Amazon wishlist.

Great offer

While broadscale recognition and acceptance of Bitcoin is slowly growing Purse.io acts as a creative middle man that not only works as a gateway to Amazo, but a service that also assists in bringing the brilliance of Bitcoin to more and more people.

A further 10 percent off Amazon’s already heavily discounted Black Friday specials is also a great offer that’s hard to pass up, after all who doesn’t like saving even more money.
