Hidden Secret
I'm not sure if this is known or not but you can set up a gift card to be your main payment here on Amazon, set up refills with a credit card if it goes below a certain limit, have your digital rewards for shipping and stuff come to that same gift card, and skip having your credit card being a playground for price changes and rewards credit with Amazon.<br /><br />I do my budget and the thing that frustrates me about stores and their price changes, such as WM and Amazon, is that I already calculated in my ledger for items when they do changes. Then I have to go in and find which line it was on, what was changed, calculate the difference, and create a new line item in my ledger. It's annoying for me and I was burning through line after line every week. Enter the gift card option for Amazon and I no longer need to worry about doing that. It's kind of like a store credit except it's my money that I put on there. And the fact that the company will put the rewards from shipping delay incentives on there and such is actually brilliant. I think WM needs to follow suit with this philosophy. Obviously, keep an eye on the price changes to make sure they're not going the other way to some extent but it's way less of a headache to just let Amazon do Amazon in Amazon's gift card thing. I love this idea and I think more companies need to follow suit.
