Wtg! Now you can buy that TV Amazon keeps saying you are interested in buying. Even though you only looked at it once like 3 months ago. Wait that's me, what will you be buying this Holiday Season. I can say that right because Khol already y has the music and decreations available.

Well, in my case, it's actually more likely to be a new tablet to replace my current Galaxy A, IF I can find a decent Android one with at least a 9.7" screen, 3G/4G LTE in addition to WiFi, and 64GB internal storage plus Micro SD slot. I already have the biggest TV that can fit into my small apartment. That being said, I'll probably do most of my Christmas shopping this year on Amazon now that I have the wherewithal.

Thanks all - I'm now keeping a close eye on tablet prices. I'm trying right now to decide between the latest Amazon Fire bundle (HD 10, including cover and screen protector for $230) or the Asus ZenPad 3S 10 ($280, an extra $15 off to $275 with a coupon to be applied at checkout). I'll probably wait a few more weeks until Black Friday/Cyber Monday.

Anyway, there's a funny postscript to my big Synchrony CLI's. I got letters over the weekend from Synchrony saying "we regret to inform you" that my original CLI requests couldn't be approved (I had applied for $10k on Walmart and $8k on Amazon) and informing me that my CL's had been increased per their counteroffer to $3.5K each, and providing me with the usual laundry basket of reasons why my original CLI request wasn't approved.

FWIW if the tablet is for you and you're OK with a little risky gamble, don't forget the Amazon Warehouse Deals.  I picked up a tablet that was newly released at the time for over $110 off because "no box, no cables, no manual" but it was still new with shipping screen protector, etc.  I monitored the warehouse deals daily and when I saw a fantastic deal I snagged it -- and saved a bundle.

One time I did buy a warehouse deal on a garage fan for almost 80% off because no box no manual but it arrived brand new in a plastic bag inside of a generic box.  Thing has been blasting air during summer for maybe 3 years now.

You still get 5% back from that section, too.

I'll consider that - I have made a couple of book purchases from Amazon Warehouse previously without any downside, and yes, the tablet is to replace my current one (Samsung Galaxy A 32gb that I got at Costco a couple years back). I might actually go for something more expensive; my dream tablet has 64GB (minimum) internal storage with SD card expansion capability, and both WiFi and 3G/4G LTE (unlocked so that I can add the tablet to my phone account). Might even look at iPads at that, we'll have to see. I got a big Penfed CLI overnight - I'm still waiting to see whether it's "just" a $4K increase to my current $3K line or a gigantic $7K boost all the way to a cool $10K - so that might also affect what I end up buying even though Penfed gives back 1.5% as opposed to Amazon Prime's 5%.
