Cindy,

I remember that! I loved my Waldenbooks membership and bought there almost exclusively. I would get a thrill when I received the $5 coupon. They stopped doing that here a while ago, though.

I *know* that I'll spend enough to offset the price of the membership...I just resent having to pay for it. And I get tired of lugging around a wallet with a million membership cards. Safeway. CVS. Giant. Borders. B&N. BAMM.

Plus (an afterthought for me) I don't want to share my address, phone number and other information with every vendor in the world. It's kind of scary to think what marketers and vendors could tell about me if they pooled all of their information about what I buy and where I live, etc.
