Amazon e-book refunds

[Shasta]

I got $5.84

How many of you have spent your refund already? I haven't yet.

Mine will likely expire before I use it. Unless I decide to break down and get the new Joe Hill story.

I did it! I broke down and got the Joe Hill. And guess what.....

THEY DIDN'T APPLY MY CREDIT!!!!


Oh yes they did. It just took a minute.

$0.26. What a steal!

HA! Apparently I'm not alone. Check out the pic in this article.

Amazon customers get notice of credits for e-book settlements - Mar. 25, 2014

I'm not sure but I think it is only US. There was a class action lawsuit settlement that resulted in the refunds and I think the lawsuit was a US lawsuit.

Aww, well that's a shame...I reviewed my kindle ebook history and I spent quite a bit of money during that period! Grrrr.

First I've heard of this...does it apply to customers in other countries or only the USA?

Should apply to anyone buying from Amazon.com (US jurisdiction). For us saps buying from .co.uk, well...rip-off Britain, innit? Corporate interests rule. The attitude here would be along the lines of "So they act in cartel. We've all got shares, what? More foie gras?"
Or they'd spin some guff about Amazon Europe being based in Luxembourg, meaning they can't legally do anything (which is guff because they still need a licence to trade here, meaning UK operations can be ruled on by our courts).

It's all a bit of a bugger. I'd have been in for something of a windfall.
