If you lost the gold box, click on the above and it should come back. I had 15 items last time I checked, and actually one of them was electronic, a USB HUB. The rest were either gardening (I live in an apartment), childrens stuff (no kids) or kitchen stuff.

I got that one in mine, a 4 port tiny thing...don't need one though.

15 offers here.

Logitech wireless KB/mouse, portable DVD player, 48x12x48x CD-RW drive, 1 port router, yamaha computer speakers w/sub, and a wireless access point were mixed in with garden products.

Figures, Amazon is actually giving me good deals when I have no money to spend.

OMG....the EXACT same thing happened to me. I ordered and got a Viking 128mb CF card and they never unlocked my goldbox. This was about a month ago. I wrote numberous emails stating that they have yet to unlock it, but I get these generic emails back explaining what the goldbox is. Never a personalized email from an actual person answering my question. I just gave up. This left kind of a sour taste in my mouth so I haven't been ordering from them.

I'm glad to hear there are others in this who can't seem to unlock their gold box - I've had my gold box working since the start, but my girlfriend has made at least 40 purchases in the last year (about 25 in the last 2 months) and her gold box still tells her to "start shopping to unlock your gold box". What crap.

Numerous e-mails get the "here's how the gold box works" generic reply - I was beginning to think no one had this problem because the CSRs certainly act like they've never heard of it. A phone call gets the "we can't handle this here, I'll e-mail blah blah blah and let them know - Try it again in a couple of days".

Meanwhile, after clearing the cookies - mine still has 5 offers. Oh well.

15 for me too, but I wonder if the 24h will be enforced now. It used to be really 8 hours before a Goldbox refresh. If they tripled the number of items, them might've divided by 3 the number of refreshes.

The only thing that worries me about this is that I have a feeling the deals are going to get watered down.

I have also noticed that my goldbox offers seem to reflect my purchases and not my browse/wishlist.

I got that too. $95 isn't bad. I already have a WAP though.
Linksys Router, $50
15" LCD $312

Too bad none of the 15 items I really need.

Still don't see anytning good in my Gold Box.

When I go to amazon's homepage, I don't see the gold box. Only when I click on one of the link (e.x. DVD), then I would see the gold box on that page.

Sounds to me like everyone has been getting the same deals.

when I went through the link provided at the top of the page, I only got 5 offers,
when I went to just www.amazon.com and then click on the gold box, I got 15 offers
just something to keep in mind for those who only got 5 offers

On the page explaining it, it says that you get 5 offers a day added, max of 15.

:Q I thought people were joking about the weird stuff but then "P3 International P7906 Vibrasonic Molechaser " comes up.
