Steemgig Contest:Forget the traditional ways to Shop with bank now Shopwith bitcoin on Amazon and save 5 to 20% on products tilbanks.
With the development of cryptocurrencies many things are changing and it is the time now to change our shopping habits as we have done so far with our traditional banking system like debit and credit cards.
Today I Learned that we can now shop on the amazon site and can save upto 20% or even more.No Amazon has not yet officially announced about accepting bitcoins as payment method on their site,but there is a other method through which anyone can buy products on amazon and pay with bitcoins instead of fiat currency.
So how to do it,you need to create an account on purse.io and get your account verified.
Step 1:
Once you are done with the verification part you need to login to your amazon account and create a wish list and make it public.

step 2:configure wish list

Now you need to click on view details:

step 3: Add a shipping address to wishlist
Here you need to fill the ship to section and check the third party shipping box ,there is another checkbox as don't spoil my surprise always uncheck it.

step : copy list url
Now you need to go the the amazon wish list page and on the right hand side top corner you can see share is a share button,you need to click there and you will get a link.You need to copy that link.
source
step 5: Submit the generated link to your purse.io account under the tab named-Name your Discount.If you are unable to see that button you can submit the url or link in the search box and your item will be added to cart.
source
Step 6:Name your Discount.
Now you are on the discount page and you will see a slider at the top .For first time users it is automatically set to 10%.once you finish your first purchase you can avail discount of upto 30 % and more.
source
Once you are finished with the discount you can place you order .As soon as your order is processed you will be getting the estimated amount of bitcoin to be deposited into your purse.io wallet.Now you need to recharge your wallet with bitcoin and send the exact amount of btc to the address that was generated.Once you complete the payment your order will be processed and you will get an estimated date of delivery.
So that's how you can use bitcoin to shop on amazon and can have some great savings.
Advantages of shopping with bitcoin instead of traditional banking:
One of the major advantages of using bitcoin is that you can be anonymous
You can save a lot of money in transaction fees if compared to credit cards.
Also you can have some great discounts using bitcoin over bank cards.
