Looking at the dates the ads are being downloaded, there really is no pattern I am seeing. Of the ones I have on my KSO, the oldest is the swimwear $10 for $30 with a date of 5/18. After that is the current furniture one with a date of 5/29, the gift card with a date of 6/2, the buy $10 of Kindle books get $10 with a date of 6/9, and the GPS offer with a date of 6/10. Interesting to me is the last one because based on the time stamp I was not using my Kindle at the time so I have to assume it downloaded on its own. It is also interesting because all of the others are spaced between 4 and 11 days apart but the GPS offer was just one day after the last one.

To start with, the easiest way to look for any kind of pattern is going to be to keep a record of the dates on the ads compared to when the offers go live to see how far in advance they are being stored and if there is any pattern. In the interest of learning about this, I am going to keep my wireless on all the time rather than turning it off like I had been and I am going to keep from manually hitting the sync to force a download. I'll also try to check for new offers each day and see if and when they arrive.
