We didn't get any info earlier in the year.  Just today (10/15, for those
of you far downstream or in the time warp) we got info on Opportunity
Calling AND a statement showing accumulated credits from April-June.

Now, for a real question--this looks like a pretty good deal; there's stuff
that I do buy and the bucks come off in the right way (that is, off real
prices instead of phony "list prices").  So what's the catch?  (Tanstaafl's
law says there must be one.)
