AmazonSmile - do you use it/know about it? AKA “Feel less guilty about your Amazon addiction”

[JonHammIsMyJamm]

I use Amazon a LOT. I know it’s evil. I know I shouldn’t. Corporate greed etc.

Did you know about AmazonSmile? If you switch over to AmazonSmile (same interface as Amazon, same products, use your same account) a percentage (0.05%) of every purchase you make goes to a nominated charity of your choice. There are loads, National and local. You can change the charity as often as you want. It isn’t a massive proportion of the sale and obviously there are much more efficient ways to give to charity and yes they could donate a much bigger % but if you are going to buy the Amazon items anyway, you might as well do a little good. I chose my local Rape & Domestic Abuse Crisis centre. It’s really easy to do .

The site has generated over £3.6m for charities since it started. Obviously the more people who know about it and swap over to it, the more can be raised.

Sorry that link buggered up because of the square brackets at the end.

Yep, been using it for ages. I donate to the Blue Cross.

Ffs for some reason it won’t post without the square brackets. That’s annoying. Anyway, c&p the link without the 2 ]] at the end

Used it for years supporting a local charity.

I’ve used it for a while too but I’ve mentioned it to a few people in recent weeks and they hadn’t heard of it, so I wondered how well known it was.

Used it for a while to support Sue Ryder. However i've been cutting back on Amazon purchases over the last few years. I now mainly use it when i have to order stuff to send direct to my parents.

Yes our old school pta used it. When children left I looked for other local charities and now give to a charity linked to the local hospital (we have a need to use this hospital lots so I know they are in need).

I do.
The Maggie Oliver foundation. I think she's ace.

Yes - been using it for about 18 months to donate to Hope Rescue

Great to see so many people using it!

Yes, I've used it for a while. It's a very tiny amount individually but every little helps.

Yeah, I do. I donate to Beagle Welfare.

Yep, I do. To support the Cats Protection.

I use it for donations to DDs school.

Yes, to the local rape and abuse centre

yes, my school PTA uses it

Uh-huh for Bliss.

Never heard of it and use amazon pretty much every day so thank you OP!

Ha, I've just chosen the amazing hospice that my dad died at as my charity- that's brilliant! I'm really pleased OP, you've made my day

That’s great @2020times

Yes I’ve been using it a while but it’s only just become available on my app this week.

I use it every purchase. Which is a lot.

I only started this year. Chernobyl Children's Lifeline for me.
