Well, they arrived today. My 500 free coins, the equivalent of $ 5.00 two use with my Kindle Fire. The coins were given two Promote Amazon’s launch of virtual coins. The free coins were deposited in the accounts of new Kindle Fire customers and current users who are in the U.S. Mike George, vice president of apps and games that Amazon, proudly set the stage for the May 13th launch.
“Today we are giving Kindle Fire owners $ 5 worth of coins two overspend on new apps and games, or two purchase in-app items, such as recipes in iCookbook, song collections in SongPop or mighty falcon bundles in Angry Birds Star Wars. ” He affirmed, “We will continue add two more ways to Earn and spend Coins on a wider range of content and activities – today is Day One of Coins.”
The interesting point about the virtual coins is the lure of discounts. If you buy them in bulk, you can get discounts of up October 2 percent. In lower volumes the coins go for 100 coins for $ 1.00. If you want the 10 percent discount, you would place an order for 5,000 ($ 45) or 10,000 coins ($ 90). They never expire and there are no fees, so it will be Easier two buy apps.

And if they are starting first with the Kindle Fire and then graduate two allow users two spend the virtual currency in other places like Kindle e-books, Amazon music tracks, Prime subscriptions or for Amazon Web Services, then the discounts would serve customers well. Now, if they can ask Eventually used on non virtual merchandise that Amazon sells online? I’m there every day!
