This is why I cancelled my Amazon and routinely avoid buying from them.

I had a £5 Amazon voucher from my last job and I haven't used Amazon for long enough now that looking at their site... There isn't really anything I want.

Also £5 just covers the delivery fee, so wtf is even the point?

I'd honestly just give it to someone else or sell it for cost, someone might buy it

In the end I did after not using it for like 6 months.

My phone broke and I got locked out of all my corporate accounts, from google to other emails, to those cash paying apps (that are refusing to give me another way to get my money, they are just planning on stealing it from me,) to my Amazon account.

I tried opening a new one and they wouldn't let me. Good riddance. I wanted to ditch those parasites anyway. Now all I need is a smart phone running graphene or something, and open source on my computers.

Yep, I got my current Samsung about 3 years ago before I really understood what was happening and what I wanted.

I plan to phase out a lot of apps and relying on this stuff in my next phone. I want to set up a NAS and self host for my backups and photos.
