If you order anything from Amazon, be careful what shipping box you click. Apparently they have a box that signs you up for a shipping club when you're placing an order. It costs $79.00 a year.
About a month or so ago I used Bizrates search bar to hunt up a Jimmy Buffet CD. Amazon was one of the choices. Their offer said that I could have free shipping on that item if I ordered it that day, which I did. They have boxes associated with the different shipping options. If you click onto the 'free shipping' box you will be billed separately for $79.00 at a later date. After doing some research I have found that many people have fallen for this trick. It shows up on your bill as AMZ a month or two later.
Amazon will take it off your bill if you dispute the charge with your credit card company, but its a real big time consuming hassle. So save yourself some grief and read the fine print like I didn't. :O
