So, throwing on an extra $10 for express delivery, in addition to the previously disclosed $10 for Saturday delivery (pardon me, I exaggerate: $9.99 for each)— that I can live with.

The vaguely weird partnership with something offering free delivery, fine.

But the $10 off -- no, no, $15 off -- gift code it excitedly tells you about, with the fact that a monthly fee will be added to the credit card you thought you had used and done with-- that's just being creeps.
