#3This is their replacement for their "First Look" program which gave readers early proof versions of books to drive "influencer" reviews. I found that the book selections there were really poor; I often found that I didn't want to read any of the books on offer, even for free.
They kept the points tech, and dumped the free books portion.

I don't speak lawyer, but here's an excerpt from Florida's law:
> (a) “Credit memo” means a certificate, card, stored value card, or similar instrument issued in exchange for returned merchandise when the certificate, card, or similar instrument is redeemable for merchandise, food, or services regardless of whether any cash may be paid to the owner of the certificate, card, or instrument as part of the redemption transaction.
