It's free, so fine, but not too exciting – having to spend eighty dollars to get four dollars, compared to previous offers of spending twenty-five to get five.
Also, badges! Really? I think last time there were badges for signing up or buying books and maybe a few more things, only some of which involved having to read on Kindles or Kindle apps and turning on wifi (which I don’t do at all; I use Calibre and sideload to Kobos). And didn’t those badges contribute to my point totals somehow? What are people supposed to do with these new badges – print them out and frame them, find an old Girl Scout uniform to sew them on?
I guess that’s all I can find to complain about at the moment.  |
When I first noticed points next to a price and followed the link to find out what it was about, I also saw that I already had 100 points. They started the program on July 7 and when I checked my receipts from July 7,8,9 I had spent $20.
I did roll my eyes about the 4 for 80 credit. But then I realized that if I use my Amazon Prime card, I should get another $4 for the same $80. Considering that my bank account is only paying one penny interest per month for each one thousand dollars on deposit makes it a good deal if there is something you really want right now. I immediately bought this month’s bookclub selection. 🙂
