    Yeah I was set to join and went to the options and saw Amazon and thought it was a lock. They I clicked the link and it said $2750 USD and was like WTF!!!

    It seems pretty unfair to have $200 for touts and 2750 for amazon. Oh well, I'll just stay an uncool non pro

    Yeah, that makes no sense at all. There really should be a lot more charity options.

    If the had boys and girls club, sloan kettering cancer institute, red cross, or anything worthy and legit I would just donate the money to get the upgrade. Or they could at least make amazon $500 or less...

    Hell they could have donations for 1-888-admit it/GA and I would donate there LOL- I might get some rakeback from that one.

    Easily spend that much a year @ Amazon...Not on one purchase, but over the year.

    Jesus, I don't think I could think of anything to buy on there for 2750...Maybe a new camera.

    Got my old one off there for 1300.

    I drop 400-500 a month at Amazon, but $2750 for one purchase would have to be a new tv, a lot of 5 hr energy, lot of dog food and toys, some video games, blu-rays, etc.

    You don't have to buy one thing for 2700. It's for everything in your cart. For example, X-mas time we'll have guys who pick up a couple TVs that are on sale or tablets etc.

    Amazon shares only a couple percent with the webmaster. If you bought something for 200 bucks that 200 doesn't go to us obviously. We would have to pay for your $450 pro bennies with 4 bucks. If a Canadian goes pro through a sportsbook, that book pays for the pro. Amazon doesn't.

    Amazon is just another option and works if someone has some things to pick up for them and maybe their parents. Even if you resold something you bought on Amazon, it would probably cost you less than $200 in the end.

    Just bought a new modem since my old one overheated...Go to walmart and hang out with king mayans or buy off of Amazon for the same price, and just wait a day....Tough decision.

    Amazon prime, definitely worth the 75 bucks a year.

    More or less depending on what you take part in. If you play in all the trivia and free poker or even bet the special lines, it's a more. If you just log in to get the daily points it's less.

    Amazon Prime probably the greatest bargain out there.

    Buy a ton off Amazon. Fantastic service. Good prices.

    US members can't use the sportsbook option to go pro. Please checkout the SBR Pro application to see available methods.

    You can spend $200 with other Pro sponsors like fantasy sports, and walk right on in. Amazon was kept as an extra option for the few who spend there anyhow.

    I shop there a lot myself, but never come close to spending $2750 in one checkout.

    Good to have options, but I'm sure that one isn't used much.
