Amazon / I-Tunes Vouchers (Advice needed)

    Hey boards

    A new reward scheme where I work is going to start giving out Amazon or Itune vouchers based on us hitting certain targets. Now mostly for me its gonna come to like 30-40 euro worth per month, which is great! But they're backdating the first reward to the start of the year so I am going to get a lump sum of 300 or 400 euro. (Believe me not complaining, just enquiring).

    I have a number of questions. Firstly I get to choose between the vouchers, which should I choose. I do like music, and I like paying for it, but I have an android phone so is Amazon my best bet. (Giving me their music store and app store).

    Secondly can I use either of those vouchers for anything other than music and apps. Can I buy ebooks with the Amazon voucher, better still, can I buy actual stuff off Amazon with the voucher? (I did try to read the T&Cs, it said anything eligible in their catalogue, but I didn't see where eligibility was expressed.

    Finally if I wanted to "liquidise" the vouchers, is that possible / easy? Is there a website I can plug them into that gives me say 80% of their value or something. Or would I have to sell them on adverts / ebay. And if I wanted to liquidise, which voucher is better.

    Thanks in Advance, and sorry for asking so many questions.

    I personally will go with Amazon, if it's the same type of vouchers you get for doing surveys in some websites or some other type of rewards you can use them to get anything from Amazon, what I'm not sure is if you can buy Mp3 downloads from Amazon as we are not in the UK. You can test the music by selecting a couple of songs and trying to go in the checkout as some point you might get that Item is not available in your location.

    Itunes vouchers you buy as far as I know are only for stuff in the Itunes store, Apps, Music, Books, etc I don't think you can buy suff from the Apple website.

    Not idea of a website that will buy them, but I would try Adverts to sell them.
