  I didn't realize you could do that! Thanks for the heads-up!

    Apparently, it's gone now.. :-( Maybe I should just start using Walmart and other options instead... I'm seeing way too many "sponsored" results from Amazon lately (6 or the first 8 the other day).

      This helps a lot more - use their Amazon referral link before adding items to your cart and checking out: https://www.amazon.com/?tag=electronicfro-20 https://www.amazon.com/?tag=electronicfro-20

  Unfortunately Amazon cancelled the Smile program earlier this year, didn't they?
  - tracker1 3y ago
    Hmm... yet another reason I may just cancel and give Walmart and others more consideration.

      Pot/kettle. You win in neither of those scenarios.

        Not saying I do... it sucks in general and is largely a race to the bottom in every case.

        Walmart's brand of corporate Koolaid also happens to be good for customers, as that's their market differentiator.

        Not great for Walmart's employees, though. Which is similar to many objections against using Amazon. (No moralizing here, though... I use Amazon pretty frequently, even though I know how poorly they treat their warehouse employees and delivery drivers.)

        Infinitely better for Walmart’s employees than Amazon is for its employees…

        Kind of - Walmart stuff is lower quality so while it’s cheap at the time of purchase you buy more frequently and spend more long term. Many people can’t afford to do otherwise but I’m not sure I’d describe it as good.

Just got my membership card in the mail :). And a hilarious sticker. Please, anyone reading this, consider donating to this great organization that does important work on our behalf.
