Rewards and Region Restriction

Hey it's really cool that you're doing this game jam!

I was wondering though; is it possible to get a different gift-card. Something like Steam. Unfortunately Amazon isn't available in my region so it's a bit of a hassle to use (would have to ask a relative).

Anyway it's okay if it's not. But was just curious.

Ok so yea that won't be possible cuz I had the same issue last time on the Core Game Jam But there is Hope
It took alot of time and research in order to find a way/method to get money/another gift card that I could use, so I'll try my best to help people avoid my situation and give some advice.

so there's a much better way to redeem it if your not in the U.S since it is a region restricted card.
The way I did it was I went to https://www.reddit.com/r/giftcardexchange/ [very trusted and good moderation to scams] and exchanged my giftcard for bitcoin
(there are other options like paypal or exchange them for other giftcards etc) but do keep in mind there will be a deduction fee ex. if I were to exchange a $100 amazon giftcard they will say that they will give u 85% so you will get $85 through paypal (this is better than having nothing or a useless giftcard u can't use) and the exchange rates varies from person to person so its best to find some one who will give u a good exchange rate and at the same time has alot fo vouches to prove he wont scam you. 

Please do be careful if you are going to do this  there will be alot of scammers so try to keep away from trading with [GCX Beginners] and look for ones that are [GCX Top Trader] or [Experienced Trader] (these are the people who have done alot of exchanges meaning there is a less chance of you being scammed.

My choice would be to go with Bitcoin even though they might have low exchange rates but they are worth it trust me and wont be a hassle like paypla with all kinds of verification etc, use [CoinBase for your wallet] &  https://www.bitrefill.com/ to buy what ever giftcard you want with your bitcoin.

Ahh okie thanks for the info. I have family in the states but this is a useful alternative. Thank you :D

What Zephyr said is correct, we have to use a business account with Amazon to get the cards.

That's alright. Thanks for clearing it up
