I'm so proud of myself! For the first time ever I'm almost completely done with my Christmas shopping and did almost all of it online! I made my one and only trip to a department store yesterday to get the remaining few things. And I'm probably the last one on earth to discover Amazon! I've bought a ton of stuff from them and, for the most part, it's gone very well. I've bought cell phone acessories for my sister in law, clothes and movies for my son and a gift card for his Kindle, movies and books for my grandson, a gorgeous photography book for my cousin. My sister in law is a movie freak so last night, not knowing what else to get him, I bought him an Amazon gift card so he can pick his own movies or books or whatever.
I am also fanatical about keeping track of my bank account and I checked it this morning. The charge for the Amazon gift card is there as expected and the shipping was free. But right below that is a separate charge to Amazon for $1! What the heck is that? It's not included as part of the gift card, it's a separate charge! I know it's only a dollar but it's MY dollar and it's a little creepy to have money taken from my bank account and not know why! Had I not noticed, I would have driven myself up the wall looking for that darned dollar that I was off in my account! Has anybody else had anything like this happen? I did send an email to their customer service department but because it's the holiday rush, I'm not holding my breath waiting to hear from them.
