Amazon Gold Box returns - with stupid offers
Well, my Gold Box is back. Good news is it offered me mostly dvds. Bad news is I already own the dvds offered. Worse news is Amazon KNOWS I own them. They know because I told them in hopes of getting better offers. Guess that was a total waste of time. Well, they may blunder into something of interest to me... eventually.

Amazon is always "suggesting" DVDs to me that I've already bought from them. I guess with all their computer horsepower, they think "He bought 'Laura', therefore he might be interested in 'Laura'."

I'm currently not getting any new offers but I might buy something if they used my wishlist as a reference for some future gold box offers. Given a choice to purchase something of interest at a discounted price might get me shopping more at Amazon.

I have been waiting for my gold box to return. I normally use IE, but tonight I tried my account with Netscape and the gold box was on my account.
It was all DVD's and now the discount is 5% instead of the old 10%.
You all might try your Amazon account in Netscape.

tried looking at mine in IE two days ago and it was still off, tried just now and it's back, unfortunately, it was worse than before...two or three blank dvd deals that were closed out, and a bunch of CDs I had already purchased a couple years ago, and cough drops...useless..

They've definitely tweaked it. In the past, it used to be just random crap that I didn't care about. This time, every single one of them was directly related to other stuff I had bought... (Star Wars books, books about silent films, a couple of other novels that related to a recent purchase)
I didn't grab anything this time, but I'll definitely check back.

Good grief. Now the format of my home page at amazon has changed and the gold box is a little icon one space in from the help link. No longer in the corner. Earlier today, it was the old format and no goldbox in the corner. The times they are a changing....
The two search boxes (regular and A9) are along the top and the tabs are basically gone and found under one large tab for product categories.

Can't find it. Was it removed?
