Yes, I finally saw that email.  This is sad!

Well, I guess it doesn't matter anymore because the Amazon smile program is being discontinued in February 2023. Amazon feels that they have spread their charity dollars to thin among too many charities and want to focus on the ones that matter most to them so the program is being discontinued.

Hi Sherri, I do my shopping in the app, so while in the app you can go to settings and turn Amazon Smile on and purchases made while in the app will  count. I have seen on the site that you have to shop through smile.amazon.com but Peggy said she has shopped through the regular site and her purchases have counted. Maybe some will test this theory, or Peggy will chime in, but I was confused by that too.

Hello all,

 

We had discussed Amazon Smile and I just purchased an item.  I went to amazon.com/smile.  When we discussed this, it was said that anything ordered from Amazon would qualify.  Apparently, you actually have to order from the Amazon Smile site for the purchase to count.  Here’s the message I got and my impact.  

 

Your orders that have supported charity

Remember, only purchases at smile.amazon.com or through AmazonSmile activated in the Amazon Shopping app will support your selected charity.

Your total orders

41 orders

Every little bit counts

When millions of supporters shop at AmazonSmile, charitable donations quickly add up.

$9.15

 

 

 

So if we want to raise funds for NFB of Florida, we have to go to Amazon Smile.  If anyone else sees this differently, please let me know.  Thanks.
