On The Nickel, over there....
Mine renewed two days ago from an Amazon box I bought about two months ago. No complimentary on my account.

Hmm... looking at it from an intuitive thinking perspective, I'm assuming that what you purchased was a free gift or something hence the complimentary. The person who got it didn't want it so they sold it on amazon.

What's the link from where you bought it? Were there any other MobleMe subscriptions for sale?

Apple Employees also get free MobileMe subscriptions, and they're allowed to give free MobileMe subscriptions to their friends. Perhaps the person you bought it from is an Apple Employee trying to make a fast buck.

These are possible, but whether or not it's likely is another matter. More information is required.

Apple employees don't get retail boxes for their employee accounts. They are also clearly marked as being Apple Employee accounts.
