Here's That Later I Promised

I recently got a new amazon rewards credit card. The idea was that I'd switch from my old rewards credit card to the amazon one because it is more fitting with my shopping habits, and I would keep the first credit card but not use it anymore. I still had some points accumulated on the old card and Yesterday I tried to get my bank to transfer them from the old card to the new one. After being informed this was not possible, I looked for a way to use these points in as convenient a manner as possible. My old rewards card's points can also be used directly on amazon.com, so I went looking there first.

I found a game called Metroid Other M was fairly cheap, but so cheap that I'd get shipping charges. So I kept looking and I found that Batman Arkham City was also fairly cheap, and both of those games combined would get me the prized free super saver shipping.

Here are the results of my digging:


As it stands, I've used my rewards points on the old credit card. I can now retire it. 
Additionally, I've paid $9.20 for two new games.

Total number of games I have finished since starting the mission: 18
Total number of games I have bought since starting: 4
Total dollar amount spent on those games: under $25
Time since mission beginning: A year and a half.

So, all in all, for a year and a half, four games and twenty-five dollars? That's not too bad.

Batman Arkham City will go to "B" after this list is finished. I haven't decided if Metroid Other M can go to "M" this time around, or if it must wait till the present list is finished. Thoughts?
