It weird that amazon would move in this direction to split up their customer base onto different forms of currency. Microsoft is rumored to be tearing down their XBox points system so that there is less fragmentation in payment across their product lines.

By far the most aggravating aspect of MS Points are that its not a 1:1 conversion rate. I don't think there's anything inherently 'bad' about an internal payment currency (beyond the fact that consumers generally dislike it.)
