Plus I've been charged twice several times for rentals and I've had to contact the derps at customer service and ask for my $2.99 back and that's a huge pain in the ass.

Meh.

I like that you can rent movies on iTunes. If you do the whole Apple thing it's way more convenient than Redbox or whatever.

redbox starts at a buck for dvd an buck fitty for bluray. itunes starts at 4 bucks i think? i generally use neither, but if i need a superhero movie in a hurry i'll go redbox if the library doesn't have it. who wants to pay 4 times more? lol.

living in rural 'merica without an abundance of shopping options amazon is a huge lifeline for me. from specialty foods to car parts at 1/2 price than o'reillys to art supplies to electronics, oh, and i'm reminded of my wife's hippy nail polish, amazon is my walmart of the sky. i order from them at least twice a month. makes living in the boonies very convenient.

so, for $100 year i get free 2-day shipping. and the side benefits i really don't mind. they're a bit trashy but it's just like free merch and i'd be a fool to say no to it. i still have to explore all the "benefits". and actually a couple of times i actually rented hard-to-find movies from them (yes, i do on occasion) they refunded me cuz of my bad connection a ha ha ha.

oh yea, a 6 month initial free subscription to the washington post and $4/month thereafter is one perk you might like, you internet pirate.

there are others but it's up to the customer
