I think the gold box is being revamped by Amazon. I received a survey several weeks ago after checking my gold box offers wanting my opinion about it and how they could improve it.

I did one of those several months ago and it didn't seem to change anything. 90% of my offers have still been crappy jewelry and wireless routers.

I usually check out the goldbox once in a while ..sometimes I see a dvd, but was not interested in it ..they actually had a survey about the gold box I took like a week or two ago, asking what would make it better ..etc ..I suggested they offer more items based on what I wanted, and not shit I wasn't interested in (like hair growth products, blenders, tools or whatever weirdo shit htey were offering..) maybe they're revamping it to offer more products based on each customers past purchase history ..(just hoping here..)

even if the little goldbox isn't in the top right corner, you can still get to it by going to http://www.amazon.com/gp/xs/goldbox/index.html .. I had 5 dvds in the goldbox .. I almost fell out of my chair..other stuff was 4 jewlery items and a tool ..wasn't interested in any of the dvds, but if I see 5 a day that'd be pretty neat..never had 5 before, ever ..maybe 2 max in one day..

I got about 4 different DVD offers last night which was a refreshing change but nothing I wanted. However, still getting a bunch of offers for jewelry and other items of no interests.

The Gold Box sucks. Most of the stuff in mine is from the Kitchen dept. WTF?
