Richmond,VA Free Nickels

Hey all
Just thought I'd share this. For the past couple days at least Amazon.com(on their main page) has been doing a promotion where you anwser a really simple amazon.com trivia question correctly you get a nickel. You can do up to 4 questions a day. I'm doing it everyday because I figure by the time Force Heretic 2 comes out I'll have enough or close to enough to get the book for next to nothing. Just a plug cause I like amazon
Just make sure you are logged in and on the main page toward the middle you should see a picture of a rotating Nickel. I've had some friends who havent been able to do it. I recommand actually typing in www.amazon.com in your location bar. That seems to do it then usually.

Some people still had problems so this is what amazon.com had to say

Well people I wrote Amazon.com and once again to prove how much they rock here is what they sent me back within about 7 hrs of getting my question.

COMMENTS: Hello
I love the nickle promotion you guys are doing on the main page. Im
learning some stuff that I didnt know before. I've tried getting
friends to be able to do it but they dont seem to be able to locate
the nickle or it doesnt appear for them. 2 of my friends have done
it once but then it doesnt work anymore and 1 hasnt gotten it at
all. Is there some criteria that needs to be met for it to work? I
took a screen shot and showed them what to look for. http://members.cox.net/nave/amazon_nickel.bmp

Thanks for anyhelp you can give me in helping them

Evan
