I Acquired My First Amazon Gift Card by Working Mostly with Freebies from GOG

1) Today, I reached $10 on Coupert — excluding some subscriptions I made on Humble Bundle and the insertion of credits on Ship 7 to send products from Amazon USA to Brazil from the warehouse in Delaware, most of the credits that make up this gift card came from the freebies I received from my Amazon subscription, when I redeemed games from GOG, or during occasional promotions on GOG itself.

2) I have already redeemed the amount I am entitled to and inserted the credits into my American Amazon account — when I have at least $35.00 in credits on Ship 7, I can choose a book and make the purchase.

3.1) As soon as this physical book arrives in Brazil, I will digitize it — and once this is done, I will send the physical book to whoever is interested, and I will keep the digital copy I made for myself. The reason I prefer to import physical books is that they are tax-free under the terms of the Constitution, which allows me to make the most of every cent of the gift card.

4.1) At this moment, the historical peak of the dollar is still $5.93, in nominal terms — it was reached in May 2020 during the pandemic. I usually use this exchange rate to convert expenses in US dollars to Brazilian reais and thus nationalize the product.

4.2) When the expenses are self-paid through savings, I then put the physical book up for sale. At this point, I can offer a fairer price for those in Brazil.
