From an an email. I don't know the differences between cards, but I have a Chase Freedom Visa. That may or may not make a difference.

My preference is Nov 30. The other way just looks odd.

It would help if you say which Amazon you are talking about. In this case it's the US Amazon.

Aha. I think you solved a mystery for me. I "bought" a freebie cookbook last week, and subsequently got an e-mail telling me it was out of stock; tried it again with the same result and then gave up and got it at Amazon instead. I haven't checked, but now I bet that cookbook was in my BN account already.

So sorry

Actually, I find the way you wrote the date to be rather odd looking. It's best written as November 30, 2015.

I haven't gotten anything like that either, and I'm wondering what kind of Visa card pays 5 percent in the first place.

I have an Amazon-branded Chase Visa card, which pays 3 percent on Amazon purchases, 1 percent elsewhere.

My card pays 5% back per quarter at select stores. I think the key point here is that it's a Chase Freedom card. Here are the offers for 2015:

Thanks for the info. But what a weird setup!

It's similar to the quarterly Discover 5% Cashback Bonus

[BearMountainBooks]

Yes, it is. I have Discover and it has 5 percent cashback on Amazon this month. If anyone is interested in a referral, let me know. They have a referral program (no idea what you get or what I get, but I think both parties get something).

Discover changes the "bonus" 5 percent every month and then there's usually a quarterly thing too. I think they also have a deal where you can spend your "bonus" cashback directly at Amazon.

I hear you. I have the origami case and it works okay, but I really don't like the way it flops around when you open it. Once in place, whether open or closed, it works very well. I never use the origami feature, so I would prefer a non-origami case. But then I rarely use an eInk reader anymore, so it isn't that big of a deal I guess.

The formal and correct way to write a date without using a comma is to say such and such occurs on 30 November 2015. We are used to seeing the abbreviated version of Nov 30 here in the USA, but quite frankly how much IQ does it require to interpret 30 Nov as Nov 30?
