Hello Editors,
One of the UK-based members asked me if I could find out what the value of 6000 GoPoints is at the moment if it's taken in GBP vouchers for amazon.co.uk - is it possible to tell us?
I know it has varied in the time I've been a member and I suspect quite a few people are sitting on GoPoints wondering whether it's a good time to cash them or not.
Thanks in advance
Barbara
Thanks for asking this Barbara--I was wondering myself. I have been thinking about cashing in some of my points so I can Christmas shop on Amazon. If the exchange isn't good I will go ahead and get the .com ones to buy for family in the US.

Hello, UK members!
Sure, I'm happy to answer that. Since 6,000 GO Points are always worth $25 at Amazon.com, their worth at Amazon.co.uk is based on the exchange rate the day the voucher is processed.
We like to determine the dollar-to-pound conversion with the currency converter from Yahoo:
http://finance.yahoo.com/currency-converter/#from=USD;to=GBP;amt=25
It does vary a bit depending on the day the points redemption is processed, but it doesn't generally change too much within a week.
I hope that helps!
Michelle

Thankyou very much - you've been very helpful.
I'm always torn by exchange rates. 18 months ago in Colorado we were getting $2 to the pound so life was cheap but today I'm glad to get £15 for my $25 Amazon vouchers.
