Just went to buy something from Amazon, and as I've reached the checkout it's asked me to type in my password before I can buy the item. I'm already logged in, as my name is on their page above 'Account & Lists'.
I've bought stuff in the past from Amazon without having to type in my password.
Just before I added the item to the shopping basket a pop up appeared saying ''save £30 by clicking on this voucher'' which I did.
I'm now a bit dubious about buying the item as I pay with my debit card which is registered on their site.
Am I worried about nothing, or should I leave it alone?

When in doubt leave it out…personally I never shop on Amazon horrid company.
Hopefully not the case in your instance, but…

personally, I would close down the browser
type into your search engine " amazon " make sure its the amazon.co.uk link, and go from there
it could well have been a spoof website or it could have just been the " voucher " was for the USA site and it needed you to log-in on that ( occasionally if I find a link thats the USA site, I have to log-in )
but play it safe and just make sure you are on the amazon.co.uk link and away you go
It seems strange I am a big Amazon user and never seen the voucher offer ?? I'd avoid it .
I'd also avoid using a debit card .
Apply for an Amazon credit card you may get an initial offer and you build up credits for money off on purchases with Amazon and externally like any other credit card.
I think the £30 offer is linked to their credit card and might be why you’ve been asked to sign in.
I sometimes get added to sign in again when I got to finalise purchases - particularly if I’m using private browsing (so the kids don’t find out) or if using the Smile version.
I got a voucher the other day from them something like £1.50 off the book I bought.
It all went through and I received the book.
I don’t buy from Amazon because,
1. They hoodwinked me into signing up for Amazon Prime. (Got me £75 back)
2. They treat their staff appalling
3. Their unnecessary dumping of unsold product are disgraceful.
if you don’t stand for something you’ll fall for anything.
I feel like a hypocrite because I slate amazon but it is just very convenient to use them for certain things. I think as long as you use independent stores as well there is no harm in using amazon from time to time.
They basically host everything and show sports now so are almost impossible to avoid anyway.
Yep 100% they are a terrible company and a bunch of tax dodging bastards but they're very convenient to use for certain things.
I think eating meat is probably wrong but still eat meat too and still fly even though it is bad for the environment.
I think it's almost impossible to get through life without being hypocritical in some sense unless you have no morals at all or live off grid you may as well accept that certain things are always going to make everyone look a bit hypocritical.
Love or hate Amazon they provided massive employment, service those who struggle to get out and about , provide cheap products for those who struggle.
I think there's a danger when people make a stand against something that there's an expectation that they make a stand against everything - people going "well what about THIS then"
Truth is if you boycott/stop eating/protest against one thing, great. Even if there's still a lot of other bad things in the world you've still stopped contributing to that one. Trying to be better doesn't mean it's invalid if you're not perfect.
