Re: Amazon to accept bitcoin payments directly... the real breakthrough!?

It's not new and these are indirect methods of paying with crypto on sites like Amazon and Purse too lets users buy things from Amazon at 20-30% discount with the help of gift cards or using Amazon GC balance.

I don't know what app you're talking about, but back in 2018, Moon launched BTC payments via the Lightning Network on Amazon. Now you can use any wallet with Lightning support for the Chrome browser via the Moon extension: https://paywithmoon.com/ You can read more information in the developer blog: https://blog.lightning.engineering/posts/2019/03/20/loop.html

Moon has disabled this payment method and only supporting these ecommerce websites: http://prntscr.com/r64r4o

Hey everyone! Quick update: Amazon transactions have been disabled and will be reenabled in Q1 2020 when we launch a major update to Moon. Along with reenabling Amazon transactions, you'll have access to a much wider variety of merchants.
