Default Easy (?) free stuff from Morningstar

Morningstar has a "classroom" section on their website where you can read about different types of investments, then take a short quiz after each section and earn a maximum of 5 credits per quiz. Each credit is worth about 10¢ (assuming you use it on a Premium Membership) towards picking out an item or two from their little selection. I calculate that the maximum number of credits possible should be around 850. The items are:
300 - Stainless Steel Travel Tumbler
400 - The Five Rules for Successful Stock Investing (book)
400 - Morningstar Funds 500 (book)
400 - Morningstar Stocks 500 (book)
650 - White Cotton T-Shirt (A little overpriced, eh?)
650 - Six month Morningstar.com Premium Membership
800 - One-year subscription to Morningstar FundInvestor
800 - One-year subscription to Morningstar StockInvestor

I'm just finishing up with the Stock 100 series, so I've got a ways to go, but this looks like it would be a great way for novices to learn about investing, and for people who already know this, I would think it would be pretty easy to pick up a free item or two by breezing through the quizzes.

I am not affilliated with Morningstar and all that jazz. Just thought some people would appreciate this.
