They're not going to vanish, but do you really think Amazon's going to keep offering $20 gift cards for $10? I think that kind of offer--one that everyone would of course jump on--is the bait. Most likely there will be offers of discounts on specific items, and if you want that item, great, if you don't, tough.

Again, none of the offers are active offers yet--they are examples.

And again, what's the fine print? On the Audible offer, for example--do you have to buy a certain number of other books to get the good deal?

Some of you exhibit a touching faith in Amazon; perhaps a little more skepticism is in order.
