Happened to me the other day, was completely puzzled to see a credit applied to a book I was looking at. My wish lists are pretty extensive but spent some time trying random books and found about ten I could have used the credit on. (Ended up buying two...Amazon knows me so well...
)
Then, 12 hours later I got this email:

Ironically, the book that triggered my credit was on a list I keep to remind me to check the public library, not something I would buy
(good thing, too, ended up checking it out but returned almost immediately
.)
Still have a balance for one more...
