    owning YOUUUUUU...

I know you're being sarcastic, but that's kind of a legit concern if you ask me. Amazon lends itself really well to impulse buying and a lot of consumers that spring for store credit cards and the like don't always have the best spending habits. I don't know what kind of consumer protection laws the UK has (from what I can gather this is a UK based program), but I can see this turning into a sour experience for a lot of people who are unable to spend wisely.
