I'm finally in on the action. Here's the text of my first $5 freebie from Amazon: Dear Amazon.com customer, As somebody who's purchased only books from us in the past (at least using this account), you might not have had a chance to visit our Music and Video Stores yet. We'd love you to check them out, and with this in mind, we'd like to give you a $5 Amazon.com gift certificate to be used toward any video or music purchase. To help spark some ideas, we've included links to our Amazon.com 100 Hot CDs and Videos --lists of our bestselling music and movie titles. These lists are updated regularly and feature CDs and videos (and DVDs too) at our everyday low savings of up to 30%off. amazon.com amazon.com Be sure to read the important instructions below on how to redeem this gift certificate. Make sure you hurry, because it expires Friday, July 2, 1999.
