So, existing Prime members aren't good enough to share in the celebratory discount. Sounds more like a recruiting scheme, rather than a celebration. I'd think Amazon would be more grateful to long-time members.

I've begun doing that, too. In addition to Dropbox, I keep them on my eReader.

My problem with quizzes like this is when they include "I don't know" as a possible answer.

"Bad eyebrows will make you look less beautiful than you actually are!"

I agree that free maintenance programs are a scam. When I bought my Jetta (used), the dealership offered free tires, as long as I had the routine maintenance (at my cost) done by the dealership.

Never in my life did it occur to me to use the knife designed to cut the bread to spread butter. I always use a table knife.

If enough people took your advice and committed the <i>fraud</i> you propose (buying a refundable ticket, using lounge privileges, then canceling the ticket), don't you think the airlines would eventually notice what it's costing them, and perhaps stop offering refundable tickets?
