The only place I put those type of passwords is in my head. It's like my brain knows these are most important so I do memorize them.

All other I use my top secret method.

I use mSecure on Android, iThing & Windows (they also do Mac). It's not cheap, but I like it.

In any case, I might as well start spending 'em. The odds of an overwhelmingly appealing app for $40 showing up in the store seem slim. But whenever I go into the App Store my eyes start to glaze over. Nothing appeals.

Do people have any suggestions? While I don't read on a tablet now, that could change, so I think I'll get Calibre Companion and one of the reading apps. Is there a consensus on the best one? And I picked up the Audubon apps already.

Otherwise, I don't play games because I'm a fogey. So, are there any neat utilties, podcasts, guides, what have you, that people can recommend? As quoted above, I can't be the only person with this problem. I know, free money, if they poofed overnight I wouldn't miss them, but I figure I might as well use them while I can.

Hey how to ge free amazon coins? Please thx.

You have to be reading this thread (or other deal sites on the net) when the offers first come out. You only have a limited period of time to get the coins before the offers expire.

Currently, there are no free coin offers at this time. Checking this thread on a daily basis will eventually get you some free coins.

Patience, young grasshopper

Thanks. That will work (I don't bother to get him credits, since he can't give me apps ... at least, not so far).

Off to buy new reader apps.

since the data is kept encrypted, you can save it on the cloud and use that as your sync.

It also (in a browser, for windows) lets you copy the password and paste it in, without ever seeing it (or you can open it up and look, if you want to verify what it is).

Thx brother monkey..

This one you'll just break even on, (skins cost $1.99 each) but if you're interested in one of the MLB skins in the Mapquest app it's not a bad deal. That page doesn't seem to say anything about when the promo starts, but there was a news article about it today, so I think it's active this week.

You’re Headed to the Majors
This week only, customize your MapQuest app with your favorite MLB team and get 199 Amazon Coins!

Thanks to the Amazon Coins program, you can show your team spirit and bank Amazon Coins, too. Suit up your MapQuest app with your favorite MLB team. Choose from pinstripes or solids, Cardinal Red, Dodger Blue and many more. In addition to team colors, you’ll get four map icons for your team, a baseball-themed progress bar and a team start screen. Here’s how:

1. Go to the Amazon App Store from your Android device and download the MapQuest app.
2. Open the MapQuest app, go to the menu and click MLB Team Shop.
3. Choose your favorite team and click “purchase”. You’ll bank 199 Amazon Coins after purchase.

Be warned, the text under the Amazon Coins logo says "Promotion for new customers only". I'm not sure if that's new downloads of the Mapquest app, or new Amazon coin users.

Even break-even deals of no interest are worth getting, because you use up old coins and extend their expiration date by up to a year.

Check your receipts - no coins used for the purchase (but I did get 199 coins added to my account). So, net loss (with taxes) and I didn't want the charge on the account.

Same promo as above, except Amazon is adding an additional 250 coins to the pot. I just tried it and had $1.99 (no tax) subtracted from my appstore credit. A few minutes later, I received 449 coins.

It might not work for everyone - YMMV


Get 449 Amazon Coins for spending $1.99

MapQuest has partnered with MLB.com for a promotion which should land you 449 Amazon coins for $1.99, a profit of 250 coins. If you’ve got some free Appstore credit from the promotions last month that is about to expire, this is a great way to convert some of it into Amazon coins and potentially make a 250 coin profit in the process. You will need an Android smartphone with the Amazon Appstore installed to take part in this promotion, so if you’ve got one then read on.

Promotion Instructions

1. Download the free MapQuest app from the Amazon Appstore on your smartphone
2. Launch the MapQuest app, and enter the MLB.com Team Shop from within the app (You should see a full screen promotion with a button at the bottom as soon as you launch MapQuest)
3. Choose any team and purchase their $1.99 team kit (If you have both Amazon Coins and Amazon Appstore Credit in your account, choose to use coins at checkout. Amazon will still use your Appstore Credit instead of coins.)
4. At checkout, the app will say that you will earn 60 coins. You will instead receive at least 199 coins due to the current promotion. However most people, including ourselves, are receiving 449 coins for the purchase.

It is unclear right now why most people are receiving an extra 250 coins. Amazon has been running a long time promotion which rewards you 250 coins for your first purchase of select apps. We, like many others receiving the extra 250 coins with this MapQuest promotion, have received our “first purchase” reward long ago so it is unclear if the extra 250 coins here are related. Even if you only receive the minimum reward of 199 coins for $1.99, it is a great way to convert Appstore Credit into Amazon Coins since Appstore Credit tends to expire 1 month after acquisition and Amazon Coins expire 1 year after acquisition. The Appstore credit from last months promotions (i.e., $10 for buying a gift card, $5 for buying a PC game, $3 for buying an MP3) are due to expire July 31st.
