Bill me Later and Amazon?

[jw109]

I just got an e-mail that Bill me Later will no longer be a payment option at Amazon. I wonder why this is? It kind of stinks because I used this option all the time....

I got that email too. I thought it was something that amazon was promoting because before Christmas they had specials where you got $ off if you used BML. Strange.

I go the same email and am very disappointed.

My hubby actually told me the same thing yesterday. I have to wonder if it's Bill Me Later who doesn't want to deal with Amazon, or Amazon doesn't want to deal with Bill Me Later? Maybe one of them is in financial problem? I'm too lazy to Google but prob. there's an article or something on it somewhere..

This might explain part of it.... Dated Oct 6,2008

"Today eBay said it would spend $945 million to buy online payment company Bill Me Later, but the folks over at Amazon.com aren’t likely to welcome eBay as Bill Me Later’s new corporate overlords. Amazon holds an equity stake in the payment processing company and is its top customer — with competitor eBay moving to buy it, Amazon has some thinking to do."

This is what I heard also. Amazon doesn't want to deal with ebay (can't say I blame them)
