    Couple of questions:

    Has anyone had problems getting the verification postcards?
    I requested one on the 11th Dec, hadn't arrived by this past weekend so requested another - so fingers crossed this time.

    As UK users, are we ineligible for US rewards? In particular Best Buy & Target as they would have been handy for my trip.

    Thanks in Advance.
    What came first, the music or the misery?
    Did I listen to pop music because I was miserable? Or was I miserable because I listened to pop music?

    Along similar lines, does anyone else have trouble getting the gift card confirmation emails?

    (I only had to do the postcard once ages ago on my 3rd GC).

    Every time my GC is showing as in the Gift Cards tag, I don't get a confirmation email. When I click to resend, I get an error message. When I send a message via the 'How can we help you?' box, I get no reply.

    So I have to send a message using the email address from previous helpdesk correspondence, and then they send me the Giftcard code in another email.

    They seem to think its a problem with Yahoo addresses and they're working on it but its been going on for months!

    And yesterday they replied to my enquiry with a generic response about surveys! (Luckily after I scolded them, they sent a new message with my Gift card code).

    no, you can request cards with dollar values too, as long as you are aware they are not accepted in the UK (ie. if you get an amazon.com card, amazon.co.uk won't accept it)
    I got barnes&nobles ones before, printed them out and they worked just fine in store in the US :)
