About a week ago I received a generic-looking business envelope in the mail with "Reward Headquarters" in the return address. Since I've gotten on average about a dozen pieces of e-mail spam a day recently from "EuroLottery," I assumed this was the snail-mail equivalent and put it aside.
I just opened it. It's a good thing I didn't toss it; it contained a $25 gift certificate from Amazon.
Did you know you can apply gift certificates to your account there? No need to scramble around picking a book or CD by X date; you can carry a balance.
Cool.

Which is a great way to deal with accumulated change, btw. Coinstar waives the service fee (or rather the participating company picks it up, I suppose) if you take your cash as a gift certificate. I bought a bunch of stuff at the time with it, and still had some left over to buy a copy of Jon's book and a DVD a couple of weeks ago.
