AE? I'm a bit irritated with Marc from AE. He changed the rewards program such that I didn't get the $25 birthday reward bonus this time around. You now have to spend $300 in the previous calendar year in order to get it. That means $300 worth of orders have to ship in that time frame, as you pay when it's shipped. I ordered over $700 worth of figures, but that apparently doesn't mean anything. I pointed out to him that customers don't control when he gets items from his supplier so maybe that was the wrong metric, but that argument fell on deaf ears. Oh well, I guess I'll be done with AE after these last orders arrive as they were only price competitive on HT figures when the birthday bonus was available, and that was before he eliminated the free shipping.
