I am a connections member, paid the $79.00 in full. I joined in November and placed some pre Christmas gift cert. orders then. I placed my next order yesterday and received a call to day thanking me for my order and the woman told me that they were sending along an additional $20.00 gift certificate and 2 movie tickets and a free 30 day membership. I told her over 5 times I was already a member and did not want another membership that I would have to remeber to cancel within 30 days. SHe kept suggesting that I get a 2nd membership. I finally got it across that I didn't want the freebee's if it required anther membership, but would take them if it was a genuine thank you for my order. I'm going to watch my mail (a second membership kit) and my credit card closely.
