AOL is giving away money
AOL is notorious for sending out Cleverly packaged CDs and Disks offering thousands of hours Free to promote their service. Along with promoting their service this also promotes pollution and even worse dial up internet access.
Now in a move that is clearly an effort to get rid of as much money as possible, AOL is now offering $100 gift certificates to Amazon.com to people for signing up for a 1 month trial.
Granted, you do have to enter in a credit card, you can quit your trial at any time and walk away without owing anything.
I have signed up for this service and will update you on how it goes. The only caveat here is that they send your gift certificate to your new AOL email address.
Thanks to Bryant Ng for finding this.

Wow that was quick. I wonder how many people signed up. We'll see if I actually get my 100 dollars tomorrow.
