Hi Team,

There are many community members who are outside the USA...
Since we would only have a limited option on rewards since Amazon is not available to some member's country...
I would like to propose to include laptops and notebooks in the rewards so that we could also use them for more Symantec research and be more active connecting to our community website...

Any brand so as long as it is sturdy, quality and affordable...

Hope others would agree with me and put other reasonable prizes that Symantec could help us with...

Just my thoughts...

thanks..

Suggestions for an International Supplier?

Hi guys, I don't believe the issue here is what prizes are offered (since you can buy just about *anything* on Amazon).

It seems the issue is that Amazon only has sites that service these regions of the world: US, Canada, United Kingdom, Germany, Japan, France, China.

If you can suggest a company that does a better job shipping to your part of the world, please let us know.

Thanks,
Kevin

Good Idea

Hi Vikram,

eBay sounds like a viable option.

However, when I read the fine print at the bottom of the gift card page (http://giftcard.ebay.com/) it says, "You must have an eBay account and a PayPal account registered in the US to redeem this card."

We'll have to investigate further.

Just a quick question for you

Just a quick question for you guys since you're talking about Amazon. com. Does the $15 Amazon.com Gift Certificate can be use on Amazon.ca or only on .com? And is there the money convertion of some kind? (15.00 USD = 17.01 CAD)

thanks

Amazon.ca

Hi Frank019,

When you submit your redemption request, you need to specify that you want a certificate for Amazon.ca (the various Amazon's don't transfer funds between entities).

And yes, redemption is in US$ but conversions are made to be fair. So, as of this morning, 15.00 USD = 17.028 CAD

@Kevin

I am not much sure about the gift cards but the service is nice :-)
www.ebay.in
But i am still not sure if we can use US gift Cards in INDIA.

But the most Popular and most widely use gift cards used in India by Indian Companies ( even Symantec )
is Accor and Sodexho

Good Possibilities

Hi Vikram,

These give us some good possibilites to research.

Some of these would probably be easier (and less expensive) for us to offer than items purchased in the US and shipped to India.

Thanks again,
We'll look into these.

Sodexho is one the best option

Hi Kevin.

It would be gr8 if you consider Sodexho Gift Pass as it is available in India and many other countries

http://in.sodexo.com/inen/services/giftpass/giftpa...

It is true that Symantec uses the same in India.

Sodexho is accepted

Sodexho is accepted worldwide.So as this forum is used worldwide, people from diffrent countries help people in diffrent countries.
So i think even the Reward System should be Platform Independent.
For anything in any country

it would be great if symantec

it would be great if symantec add more stuff for exchange in terms of points
