My answer:

Hi,

This was an annoying email. Just crappy marketing.

If you look at my amazon account, you'll see that I spend hundreds, maybe thousands of dollars there a year.

Are you really going to send me an email, interrupt my day, to say that I have a $0.99 credit but it must be spent in the next 12 days?

Did you think I'd hustle around due to your promotion to find some $0.99 thing to read just so I didn't lose the credit?

Did you think I'd feel great about Amazon because they gave out a highly restricted $0.99 bonus?

DON't BE STUPID. Send me emails appropriately, spare me annoying near-spam promotions.

I run a small company with a fair amount of email marketing. One of our principles is not to send out stupid promotions that annoy people.
