has anyone bought DVDs from Amazon since they got rid of the STL program?

I love Amazon's customer service, which makes me a loyal customer. However, with the difference now without STL at about 15% or so, my purchases have been going to DDDVD.

Nope. Even cancelled orders and just bought them at B&M stores (bambi, incredibles, mary poppins 40th). I even cancelled Harry Potter - there will be so many good offers on this one I figure why worry about finding another item to bring the total over $25 to get free shipping. I'll just go elsewhere - if of course they were the cheapest option, and I was able to get free shipping, I'd still go back. Stopping STL and gold box deals (not that the gold box ever had deals I wanted) were BAD moves.

I haven't gotten anything there since they stopped the gold box and share the love. They are a good business, but without the discount, their prices get beat all over town. Plus, I miss the whole sharing love with friends aspect. Oh well. Their loss is another's gain.

Nope. I'm canceling my Amazon credit card too once I get to 2500 points (only need to charge about $50 more). I usually buy from the store/site with the lowest price, and without STL and other promotions, Amazon is almost never the lowest anymore. DDD or DVDSoon for me.

Just one. I used to have at least 4-5 monthly orders in the queue which I would never have considered buying were it not for STL. Part of me is grateful to amazon for helping me conserve my excessive DVD spending. There's no telling how much money I would have wasted had STL remained active.

Kagemusha, but only because I had a $25 certificate.
I'll still buy there if by some miracle they have the best price. Since I pay tax at Amazon that's pretty unlikely, but it could happen.

I pre-order 2 WB box sets but cancelled them when DDD had the WB box set sale. I placed an order for the WB noir set 2 with amazon but will cancel it if a better deal comes along before then.
