I have several wishlists on Amazon, like Too Expensive, Kindle Unlimited, Allowance, Wish List, To Watch, Series to Finish... I keep an eye on them all, and every once in a while will sort each list from 'low to high' and find a few have gone free. With sales, I creep up on the 300, and a double rewards day might get me to get a few more, and cut down on the price of those in the 'Too Expensive' list. |

I look at the Rewards program as a ... well ... a reward, not some gimmick to get me to buy more books. I don't look for books to buy in order to earn points, but I do wait for a rewards day to buy the books I would buy anyway.
And if I want a book right away and it's not a rewards day, I'll just buy it anyway. And if it's a rewards day and there are no books I want to buy, I will pass on the reward. I've been pleasantly surprised by how many points I've ended up earning and been able to use buying books I would have bought anyway. It's a nice bonus. |

I did say it was a worthwhile discount; anything is better than nothing at all. It's just not as good as Amazon wants people to believe (and obviously do). I personally like to know how a game's been fixed, that's all. Compare it to the recurring Kobo promotion where you get a kickback on a gift card, which is a much better play for the buyer. Yes, you have to pay up front. But then you can wait on a sale price, if you want. There's no rounding in Kobo's favor. And, the gift card value doesn't expire. It's an honest, "what you see is what you get" promotion. Unlike Amazon's sleight of hand. |

In case this might help someone:
I had 296 reward points, so this morning I bought two 1¢ kindle books and got two points each. Ka-ching, as the confirmation page says. For anyone else who needs to round up a bit, today's a good day for it. |

I’m holding out for the next spend $10/$15 promotion. Not $20; too much.
