If we give people a choice then they might well choose Amazon vouchers, but we can move immediately from promoting prizes as Amazon vouchers to promoting them as gift vouchers. From my Direct Marketing days when I was involved in running quite a few prize draws the major reason why people would use a known brand for a prize was to make the existence of the prize more credible. I would hope that we can assume that any prize draw which we run is credible.
