Just talked to Amazon. The tool offer was a random offer sent to select KSOs.

Evidently my KSO isn't select enough, so I got screwed.

I was wondering why I had 5 offers instead of the usual 4.

The KSO plot thickens; I soon see them sending offers based on out search habits. Now I really feel lucky to have even received the $20 gift card offer.

Another one just dropped in. BTW, they seem to have developed an Offers hack over here, at least for anyone proficient enough to jailbreak and then run a terminal program using usbNetworking.

...another one I didn't get! You know, my Kindle is starting to get a complex. Sure hope it doesn't go postal.

Offer #15

Get $20 off tools at Amazon when you spend $30 or more

(no description because I wasn't sent this offer, so I have no idea what the screensaver or email said)

Claim offer by Jun 21, 2011 and redeem by Jul 21, 2011

Offer #16 should drop Jun 22nd

This is a new twist, because Amazon is now sending out select offers to a limited number of KSOs. Some people received two offers today, while most of us only received one.

The one I got yesterday doesn't mention using VISA, so I thought they were different.

The video games and kindle credit exploring will be future offers. We found those in the assets directory of our KSO.

They are different offers. I got the one you just posted on the 9th and the other one yesterday. There'll be a different set of books available for each offer.

The video game offer is not in my assets folder, so that one looks like another special offer (like the tools) for just a select few KSOs.

I wonder if the people getting random offers are the ones using the silly you pick option. Maybe the special offers are for the folks looking at ads in order to determines which ones are used?
