Are there any cons at all to purchasing through smile vs regular Amazon?
- dguo 8y agoNope, the prices are the same on both sites.
- dannyw 8y agoNot for you, but if you click on any affiliate links, I believe they’re reset on Amazon smile so the site/whatever won’t get their slice.
- koolba 8y agoAwesome. I buy everything in a cleared cookie browser so nobody was getting a dime of affiliate money from me anyway. Definitely going to set this up as my default.
- rabboRubble 8y agoThe only con I've been able to find is a) it only works if you remember to start shopping at smile.amazon.com, and b) the sign up process funnels customers to picking the larger and already well-known non-profits -- it is possible to pick any registered 501c3, but find and setting the smaller non-profit is fiddly and requires special knowledge (tax ID number) to complete.
- philwelch 8y agoDoes it? I’ve managed to search by name for them.
- rabboRubble 8y agoIf the name is unique, name search is easy. When a TIN comes in handy is if there are two non-profits with similar names.
- runako 8y agoNot really a con, but I don't believe you can use Smile with the mobile apps. Unfortunately, as more of my purchases have shifted to mobile for convenience, this means less for Smile.
