Amazon sharing?

Imadickens · ‎06-15-2016

After I made a few purchases on Amazon it wanted me to be part of "Amazon Sharing" ( I don't recall if that is exactly what it's called!) As my purchases were ebooks I thought it may be a program to share ebooks with others. I looked into it but it seems like a sweepstakes kind of thing? Anyone know about it?

Never underestimate the power of kindness.

Are you referring to sharing your Membership with a friend or relative. You can do this with one other person. If this isn't it, I don't think I know what you're referring to.

No, get that often but couldn't figure out how it works - sorry couldn't help you.

Could it be amazon smiles? I signed up for amazon smiles and 1% (I think it's 1%) of the price of everything I buy goes to support a charity of my choice.

Without an actual name, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know of any sweepstakes.

Amazing Prime Sharing allows you to share a membership with a person in the same household. Do you have a Prime membership?

It is 1%. And some charities have Amazon Wish Lists, where you can buy and send them supplies they need. Going through the Smile link to buy from those wish lists means I'm supporting two charities with one order. Yay!

@Imadickens I agree with @Buck-i-Nana I think it may be their Amazon Smiles program. I have signed up to give my proceeds to Service Dog Project so whatever I buy, .5% goes to them (I just looked it up and to be honest I was surprised to see this as I thought it was 1%). Either way, it's a nice way to donate to your favorite charity as I know SDP has mentioned the size of the checks they receive for a given month and those pennies do add up.

@sunshine45 I think you are correct, I didn't catch the eBook purchase in the original post. Thanks for the update as this is a great program!

It sounds like a great program, @momtochloe, but it really isn't. It only applies to a small percentage of books. I just checked 10 of my books at random and only three of them had the Loan option.
