I cancelled my order for Ultimate Guide and DNA reading HHG2G, I wanted it
to be special and I'm only 500 points from scoring (another) $25 credit from
Amazon and am going to buy it next pay cycle... It's too easy to buy stuff
on the Internet. I have DVD's that I bought months ago that are still in
the shrink-wrap... The Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind. Futurama
4... someday I will get around to them.
Am I the only one?

In the two thousand and fifth year of Bob, somebody's voice said the
following, in wonderful perfect quadrophonic sound with distortion levels so
low as to make a man weep:

ObYoda:
"No, there is another."
What's all this "500 points" gubbins? I realise that in my neck of the
woods the internet is this slow thing we do down a piece of damp
string attached to an old baked bean can, but since when did Amazon do
"points"?

credit card. If you spend a bunch of money they "reward" you!

Oh, I see..
No, hang on, I don't.
Is there an "Amazon" brand credit card? Or is it merely your credit
card doing the points, that can be exchanged for goods and/or services
from Amazon?

yup. And suprisingly, if you use it at Amazon they give you double points.
