Still, it's a way to get a discount on those books whose price never budges so I'll have to look at my wishlist and have a hard think. Thanks for the heads up.

Et al.
I was only halfway kidding when I said, "Amazon didn't have to [I should have written, "need to"] tell me to spend $20 . . . ." It is probably not unusual for me to spend $20 or more per week (yes, I need to go visit the Ebook Buying Addicts thread, after I get through with this post
).
Amazon would probably call the local sheriff's office and ask them to do a "well-being check" (to make sure that I wasn't dead, disabled, or whatever) on me at my house, if I spent less than, say, $10 in a week.
I bought a $9.99 ebook from Amazon the night before last. I will practically
never pay $9.99 for an ebook. But I wanted it badly and I looked at it as spending only $5.00, because Amazon was going to give me a $5 credit in a few weeks.
I had already spent $1.99 (or maybe it was $2.99) on an ebook earlier in the day. So, spending the balance of the $20 in the next few days is practically a "given."
Just my way of looking at it. YMMV.
