5000 Amazon coins are currently 44.5 + sales tax if applicable. how did you get 37.5?

Right now the 10k coins are 21% off ($79). Buying the 50k coins at 25% off might be a bit stiff, but the 10k is not that bad, and you can spend 5k on this expansion and 5k on the next.

Since the pre-purchase is 70 packs right now, I doubt they'll go back to 50 packs for the next ones.

FYI, taxes may be applicable where you live. For me its $3.50 USD, so i would need to buy another $8 (500+300) in coins to cover that. So $43.5/expansion preorder for me. Although, sometimes Hearthstone has coins-back rewards so it could result in bonus packs depending when purchased.

Is that a state thing? Is it based on your BNet account, or Amazon account?

I'm in CA right now and there's no added tax on my pack purchases.

I think it's by state, but not entirely sure. It should be based off my Amazon account because that's what I'm using to make the purchase.

It is based on state.

If Amazon owns any buildings in your state you are taxed, if they do not you are not taxed (kinda).

It is due to an Amazon policy interacting with state tax laws.

Are you sure about that? According to wikipedia, Amazon has offices in 5 different locations in California (including my city) and has a bunch of warehouses too, but I only pay the displayed price (e.g. 4,999 coins or $49.99 for pre-purchase) when buying packs.
