Don't mind Amazon directly inviting me to a months free use of Prime but what really bugs me is the plastic 'credit card' which came with it. It serves no purpose and will end up in the bin.

    It may not be of use for you, but it undoubtedly serves a purpose for Amazon, in higher conversion rates.

    They can be useful for applying polyfilla and/or bath sealant I find.

    Wrap a cloth round it and use it to remove air bubbles when applying a screen protector film.

    They sent me one too after I cancelled the end of the 30 day trial payment. I think it offered a £10 discount on a year's Prime.

    Keep an eye on this site. There are normally posts where people are offering cards in bulk :)

    Whatever you fancy. Barclaycard, Amex, you name it and they can offer it.
