A couple of weeks ago, Dogecoin enthusiasts started a petition to get Amazon to accept Dogecoin as a legitimate payment method. The petition raised over 200,000 signatures, as per an article by Newsweek. However, Amazon has not yet made a statement about accepting Dogecoin, nor is it available as a payment option, as of now. However, many brands have started to accept Dogecoin as a payment method. Online electronic store Newegg has announced that they are accepting Dogecoin as payment and payments to their website can be made through Bitpay Dogecoin wallet.
