TwiztidKidd when did they increase the reward points and what was the increase? I am getting the same number of reward points that I have always gotten. No matter how you put it, you can not justify the price increase. The more you try to justify it, the more you are insulting our intelligence, we are not stupid.  Remember purchases here are not a necessity like food, housing, medicine, and real-life things we need to survive.  Basically, they either make a change or suffer the consequences. The rewards that I am interested in are still the same, not interested in the other things listed. Comparing this store to what our government does is really no comparison. You just do not get it, the products here are not necessities. Most of the buyers here are probably just hobbyists. It will be sad to see this store go because people have to choose between what they need to survive and a hobby. In the real world, if something we like costs too much, we stop buying it. The same will happen here. You know what is really crazy about your comments, you are not even a prime member. The little blue key does not show next to your name.

The professionals here are having a time of it too. A lot of us buy older items & other items that keep getting "retired." Buying power is down for a host of reasons. There are a lot of bad decisions being made. Also since I'm no longer a Prime member I get NO points for purchases. Sigh
