Hmm..I wonder if Rewards1 is allowed to buy from www.amazon.com.uk? If they are, then you can order games. Also if there's a game on Ebay (Buy It Now), then you can order it from there.

"I'm not from the US how do prize claims work for me?

At this time the prize claim system works only for users from the US. If you are not from the US you must request a prize from a regionalized store eg. Amazon.ca, Amazon.co.uk, etc. - essentially you will be making a custom prize claim, so be sure to send us a link to the item you would like.

When calculating the points cost, you must convert your local currency into US Dollars, and remember 1 point = $1 US. Don't forget to include shipping costs if applicable."


That way you make sure whatever Rewards1 orders for you will work in your region AND you don't have to worry about customs/duty and all that crap.

Sadly, all of these kind of sites do not run by the UK as much. Most offers on the sites are mostly US only.

hey i got this email there!!

Hi john,

That is corect, you can not use the Prize System in its current form. In order to request a prize, you must select one from a local retailer (like amazon.co.uk), and convert your points (1 point = $1 US) into your local currency - in this case GBP.

Yes, if you see something that is in UK currency you will have to chance that to US currency.

(Swiped from Google)
1 British pound = 2.0325 U.S. dollars

So if something is £16 on Amazon, then you need $32.52 or 32.52 points.

Hope that cleared everything up! Post here or PM me if you need further help!
