On the Facebook Amazon.com page, there is a entry you can use to win a $1000 gift card from Amazon. Having said that, If you was to win a $1000 gift card from them, what would you do? For me, since I own a Kindle, I would buy some ebooks as well as regular books. an Ipad,tissues in bulk, some medicine that would helpful and then give at least $200 to the local church school for them to use. I am sure they could get some useful stuff there. So, what would you do?

If i got a $1,000 Amazaon.com gift card, I will share it to those unfortunate people who can't afford to buy clothes and foods. Not that's much but somehow could help too. For me it was just a gift and i never give my full energy and effort to earned this money. I let them enjoy what blessing i received. Share it to them. atleast once they enjoyed and make them smiled. Smile is the best part of making your heart melted with joy and gladness. May God Bless us

Sorry if sound stupid, but does that mean you can cash out the giftcard and then spread out the cash, or do you mean give out to the unfortunate in the form of presents? I am really interested to hear what you have to say.

A few people mentioned that they would sell the giftcard. I'm actually very interested in learning about that, and I have a question. How do you know they won't scam you? They may put the code in and say it didn't work or something. Can you please tell me the procedure of selling giftcards?

Let me say this and hope that helps you. If the said person were to sell this on Ebay or maybe Amazon.com and they didn't get what they pay for. By right, they can seek recourse through Ebay's Payment Protection plan and via Amazon's complaint and give an unfavorable feedback.

Books upon books upon books. I am an avid book reader and I love having books, kind of like a mini library. There are so many books that I would love to have and a git card like that would help. I might browse a little to see what else I could get from there.

I might buy a better camera (digital and video). I'm not sure what else. A lot of DVDs, I can tell you that. But that's a great idea though with buying stuff to help others with it. Beyond that, I really don't know for certain.

Thank you for your input; they got a winner a while back but I thank you for dreaming and participating just the same. Are you into photography?

I'd probably put it towards getting a Macbook laptop. Since I'll be graduating from college in a year, I really want a laptop that's going to be able to last me a very long time after I buy it. I know I'll probably be struggling financially to pay bills and my monstrous student loans back on a small, entry level salary. Computers and the internet are such an integral part of our world now that it's definitely something I would invest in.

I would probably just buy some action movies for my parents, buy a few supplies for myself (like mailers, markers and stuff for my autograph collecting) and probably buy some books and records. I'd keep the rest (if I had any left over) in hopes that something else comes along that I might would want!

Sounds good. it is a great place to order stuff that you don't think you would get, so that $1000 would come in handy. Thanks for answering.
