I'm with you - I have no problem using the credits, and have no reason to wait to redeem them!

But I do find it annoying that when I have available credit, Amazon likes to subtract my credit from the price of the book(s) I'm looking at, and pretend/display that the book is at that lower "price", and not its real, pre-credit price. Not that I don't understand why they do it, maybe they'll suck me into buying a more expensive book than I wanted, but it's just so transparently disingenuous that it's kind of offensive. But then many things about Amazon are offensive ...

I also use Microsoft's Bing for search because Google doesn't need to know every single thing about me. Bing gives you points for searching and every 5,200 points I can get a $5 Amazon gift card. It takes me about three weeks to accumulate that amount of points.
