Thanks to IB Happy Hours, we've all been getting a few Flipkart vouchers of late. I like Flipkart, but I am confused about what to buy??

If it was Amazon.in voucher, I would have bought many eBooks to read on my Kindle. Plus all electronics and home improvmenet stuffs are available on Amazon.in too. So why not Amazon.in vouchers?  

Please choose Flipkart vs Amazon.in (or some other) below. Let's see which e-comm site is most popular.

Also, while you are there, please suggest some interesting things to buy from Flipkart. Let's see if something catches my (and your) fancy Smile Vouchers ko khatam karna padega na?!!

If you're doing voice over videos in YT or running a podcaster, Rode Podcaster USB microphone is a good choice.

You want ideas on what to buy?! Last year, me and my better half accumulated 14k of HH vouchers, added Rs 800 cash and bought an iphone 4S from Flipkart. One year and it's still working well. Not bad, i think. You can try other gadgets, shoes, perfumes, loads of books at least, watches.

One thing I never like about vouchers, is the fact that since you know u have a voucher, you end up spending or should I say wasting alot of time deciding what to buy.

Unless you already know what your buying or saving up for :)

You can buy a washing machine, refridgerator, mixie, iron box etc. and give and help your house maid to use them at your home, at least :P. If you have already those gadgets then still doesn’t matter, they are helpful at anytime, so, buy them for future use. Or, if you wanted something just for you then go ahead with Smartphone (precisely Samsung S7 – today’s launch), powerbank, manicure or pedicure and so on. #justanidea. Nothing official about it. Laughing

Sorry to bump this old thread. Found it now. Can't we request IB to issue Amazon vouchers (if most of the members agree to it)?

There aren't many contests going around right now Tongue out

Well, you can buy groceries online. Sites like bigbasket.com, naturesbasket.co.in, localbanya.com, etc. do offer grocery items. But they are restricted to a few cities and we can't use Flipkart/Amazon vouchers there!!

I think Amazon is awesome, but I've been saving up flipkart vouchers to buy something big so wouldn't mind more of it! :PI think such vouchers should be used to buy stuff which we would normally not spend much money for! Like collectibles, maybe. Unless you need a certain set of products that you didn't save up for. :)

It's hard to choose between Flipkart and Amazon.  I love both. Window shopping is very important before buying a fashion product online and that's what I hate about Amazon - It's pretty boring to window shop over there! 

So what I do is I shop for fashion and exclusive stuff like Moto G etc. from Flipkart  and other stuff from Amazon. Any number of vouchers can be clubbed in Amazon, that's another plus point. Also, Amazon has gift vouchers from Cleartrip, Big Bazaar, Shoppers Stop - This I love! :D

So basically Flipkart and Amazon, both are awesome!!

Thanks for letting us know about the gift vouchers for other e-commerce sites available in amazon. Might be useful to me, will check.

bought shoes, toys and clothes fr myself from the vouchers. It was fun shopping!! Yes, flipkart is not so versatile when it comes to Amazon. But as long as you get vouchers i am indi happy

Snapdeal

Advantage: Good variety and lesser price for some products, not all. 

Disadvantage: Only one voucher can be used per purchase. 

Flipkart

Disadvantage: Cannot combine products of multiple sellers in one voucher.

Advantage: Just everything else.

Amazon

Advantage: I assume products of multiple sellers can be combined in one voucher (Not sure)

Disadvantage: I've seen prices are a little higher in Amazon, but it differs with products.

For now, Iam happy with Flipkart. I wouldn't mind Amazon vouchers too. 

With HH vouchers, I've mostly bought electronics - wall tv, laptop, mp3 player, speakers, digital photo frame, sd cards, roti maker, LED lamps, power bank, 1TB hard drive and children's books and toys. New fitness equipments are introduced in flipkart. You can think of good speakers or headsets since you listen to ebooks. Other good options are camera and travel accessories. There are also online courses and online tests offered by Flipkart.

In amazon you can add the vouchers to your account and when you purchase they manage which vouchers are used based on the expiry date. Yes, they combine several vouchers or partially use a voucher for a transaction.

Thanks for confirming that Amazon does indeed combine multiple vouchers or allows partial vouchers for a purchase.

Earlier, I didn't liked flipkart and preferred Snapdeal because it allowed me to purchase items from multiple sellers, while flipkart allowed me to choose items from only one seller. But, flipkart has this advantage of its own courier service, buying from adding multiple vouchers, varied range of products and making mutliple orders. I prefer Flipkart hence! I have bought dresses for me and my mom, premium lunchbox as a gift to my brother on his new office joining, bags and Caratlane jewellery. I believe flipkart vouchers are perfect!

Flipkart E-book app is also pretty good and if you have a phone with a big screen you can read books easily. There are also discounts on many e books. I have utilized my vouchers to even gift close ones in my family. Practically buying items from all sections available on flipkart:) Bought LED bulbs and Lamps- (Philips). Thanks to IB, my room is looking bright and well decorated.

I prefer Google Play Books because the app lets me to listen to eBooks. Otherwise, I prefer Amazon Kindle. Flipkart and paperbacks are a thing of the past, at least for me!
