- This should be a FAQ...yes the Word club still exists, but the discounts and/or
- bonuses are now little better than the standard "one free w/ four" coupons in
- any retail store...and the bonus albums *must* be chosen from their overstock
- inventory (masquerading as "bonus catalogs"). And unless you prepay, you pay
- the "gouge"...I mean "shipping and *handling*" fees.
-
- They probably dropped you because you were on the OLD agreement, which offered
- ANY FIVE FREE WITH SIX, no strings attached. I was holding $50 worth of coupons
- when they ditched me..."I'm sorry, sir, we have no such account number..."
-
- I'd just support my local retailer...or even better, wait until a concert to
- buy your album and let the *artist* have the retailer's cut...

- Bob (I *hate* those mail-in cards, anyway) Miller
-
- P.S. and they sell your name to those "jesusjunk" catalog merchants...
