I am 100% the same way. Even though I'm well aware, money is money, I find myself omitting my bonus bucks from the random little $20 purchase of blank DVDs, or a pair of shoes. I want to lump it all into one AWESOME purchase. The past 2-3 have allowed me to do that... just prior, I got stuck with a big sum to spend on the last day and had to settle.

Lastly, the perfect storm is when you get a 10% bid buck deal, and you still have bid bucks to spend!!! Only happened once, and for me at least, it seems the normal bonus offers don't come immediately after the bucks coupon issued (almost like a black out period for their bonus offers)... but did have one 10% pop up in the last week or two before my coupon expired.

I did notice with my last bonus offer, it was good for only 8 hours instead of the normal 2 days. I wonder if this is how it may be going forward, as more and more people key into these offers.
