Don't you guys just chuck it up in the lathe and part the cap off? If you spin it fast enough, the contents won't spill out.

Pricing games are rampant on Amazon. It's not just Amazon doing it. Camel Camel Camel gives you a price history and monitors prices, sending you an email if you request it. I think they make their money from Amazon referral links, so haven't bothered me with annoying e-mails.

*Somewhere*? Wow, that is impressive.
I tell my wife, "Don't worry, it's just money. There's more where that came from." As if my magic, every couple of weeks more shows up.
Not so much as "feels good", rather if I want something, might as well make it what I want. The price only hurts once.
I have been using this cable for charging my phone. I was attracted because of the length available but the sliding knotted ball keeps the cable on table tops when not in use. A little pricey but nice.
;~) Perhaps I should have just stated if there is a price increase. The lower price has not always been at the same place of business that I bought from.
They do not make it easy to find, but if they notice an item on your charge list that qualify they offer a direct link.
Otherwise,
No, that's what I meant by "*somewhere*". It is impressive. I wasn't making a funny.

OK. LOL Here is a link to the details and you can click a video.
About 1/3 a roll of electrician's tape would make a dandy knot like that...
But not make the cable 6' long.
Thanks Leon. This sounds too good to be true. You would think they would make this a prominent feature in there ads. Everyone would like this, not everyone cares about free air miles, or whatever they all advertise.
I note they say they "may" give you a refund if a lower price found in
60 days. Does that mean sometimes, even if a better price was found, they won't refund you? For example, I bought two earphones from Walmart for $26. The same purchase from Amazon would have been $54. They would have to know this as they are the largest retailers on earth. Would they be sending me $28 refund, if they found it or I notified them, or could the "may" kick in here?Another wonder is it's common practice that one low price might have high shipping costs, and a higher price for the same item might have no or low shipping costs. This is true even inside Amazon it's self. This certainly must effect their pricing and refund policies.
I'll have to look into this, I Know I've turned down Citibank charge card card solicitations numerous times. I like to keep two cards, one for in person stuff, and one for online stuff.
I like to keep two cards, one
My Citi MasterCard offers "Virtual Account numbers", usable at one merchant, that are billed to your main account. The virtual card number is void elsewhere. You set the limits on valid dates and amount when you request the number online. Perfect for online purchases. I still maintain a Visa card, just as a backup.
Well I have had better card offers in the past, I used to have a CitiCards Black Diamond card that offered 5% in points which amounted to about the equivalent in money. I could order discounted gift cards or gifts. I also have a GM credit card that pays back 5% if you buy a GM vehicle. I stopped buying GM in 2004, but I collected $5K+ when I did buy GM.
I might add the the Citicard also offers extended warranties on purchased items and also guaranteed refunds/credit if a seller refuses to issue a credit. There are limits to both but better than nothing.
No, If you paid Amazon $54 and they found Walmart at $28 within 60 days of purchase. You also have to submit PDF copies of the bill before 60 days. Then if approved they can send you a check or issue a credit to your statement for the difference. This may be what you meant to say. If I find a lower price I will do a screen capture, convert to PDF and attach to the claim. I do not know if that helps but it is proof that it happened.
I don't know the particulars but they have brought items, that I have bought, to my attention before I had a chance to send in copies of the receipt. This often shows up when you view current purchases before a statement is generated. I would not rely on them remind you of purchases that might qualify but it is nice to know that they did catch some before I entered the information.
I believe the focus is on the item itself and not the total on the bill. For instance you may buy 5 items and have one shipping cost. One Item may qualify while the others do not.
I'm sure if you give them a call they can explain the particulars. But either way with the Double Cash CC that they offer you at least 2% cash back on every purchase, 1% when you make the purchase and 1% of the payment you make.
Yeah, I forgot to mention that. I use the virtual number for one time purchases on line. I do not think it will work on reoccurring automatic billing.
But the cards with the new chips do this too. Cashiers don't like the chip scanner until I explain that it is generating a unique virtual number that cannot be reused. So use the chip scan vs the slide scan when possible.
My guess is that they still don't like it even after you tell them why. I'll bet they are just being nice to you. ;-)
Why should they care if it is generating a unique virtual number? All they care about is that the transaction takes longer. They just want their line to keep moving and the chip scanner slows them down. It's slower even if the person using chip scanner knows what they are doing. It gets even worse when the user swipes the card 4 times before realizing it needs to be inserted or inserts the card the wrong way or pulls it out too soon or fumbles around trying to find the slot.
In europe the chip requires a pin to unlock it. The pin is a decryption to the card, b4 anything is done. I don't know if it then generates a virtual id.
I also make use of Citi's virtual account numbers. My understanding is that you may
1) use them ONLY for online purchases, 2) you set a maximum amount that can be charged on that number, and 3) set a specific expiration date.I have used them for one-off purchases where I wish to avoid the "automatic renewals" and I have also used them for recurring payments on a monthly basis for 3 or 4 months.
It works exactly as I want it to. I only wish other card issuers would get on the bandwagon and offer it as well.
Well actually all of them have commented that they were no longer going to swipe their cards any more.
Seriously about 5~7 seconds longer. They apologize to me.
They just want their
I am not given the choice, at least not with my chipped debit card. If the chip scanner is available, I have to use it. If I scan it, the machine tells me to insert it.
Right, they are being nice. They don't like the extra wait and they don't like having to apologize especially since it's not their fault. Sure, it's only 5-7 seconds, but it's 5-7 seconds hundreds of times a day for them.
Imagine if your Domino tool suddenly started taking longer than it used to, after years of you having developed the muscle and brain memory of how long that part of your building process takes.
Ill bet you wouldn't like it.
