Request: 1 cent purchases on Amazon

[drkui]

My bank requires 10 debit card transactions a month. Since I get 5% cashback on my Amazon.com purchases from my credit card, I would lose less money if I made 120 1 cent purchases than if I were to reload 50 cents 120 times annually with my no-cashback debit card.

There was a list posted by FifenC0ugar on Reddit for 1 cent items: https://amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/2OD38KEKFXVT4

I have the same credit card. The opportunity cost of using debbit is about 2.5 cents if you intend to actually spend the gift card money. I do like this idea though since it would give non-Amazon folks the opportunity to automate purchases without having to spend the gift card values later. I'll consider implementing this but it's low priority for now.

This is a really cool idea which I would be into if I did not already buy things on Amazon anyways. I am amazed that Amazon allows 1 cent purchases with credit cards since this is a complete loss for them after the card processing charge.
