Amazon smile ending

[RedLoredAmazon]

Just saw that Amazon Smile is ending on February 20th. So sad as I used that to donate to charity. I can't remember if some of the piggy rescues on here had that tied to them. Just thought I would give a heads up.

Oh no, that will be a real blow for charities.

Yes I got that email as well. It said that since the launch 10 years ago "the programme has not grown to create the impact that we had originally hoped. What impact had it hoped for? So far £18.5 million has been donated to charity! I should think that's a pretty big impact. More like they don't want it to come of their profits!

What a shame knowing some money was being generated for TEAS is what made me use them, yet another reason for me to use amazon less now I suppose!

That really is a shame. I have just seen that email, too.

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

Oh no! We’ve raised a lot of funds from AmazonSmile!

Oh no! We’ve raised a lot of funds from AmazonSmile!

It's so disappointing - you are my nominated charity

 

[furryfriends (TEAS)]

Huge thanks to everyone who has helped raise funds for us, by using AmazonSmile!

 

[Bill & Ted]

This is going to effect so many small charities I’ve had an email too

TEAS is my nominated charity too.

 

[Lady Kelly]

Very disappointed as my work use them too. We get very little but it's better than nothing

This is rubbish!

A donation to a chosen charity was the only good a purchase via Amazon would do; lord knows there's precious little else going for them other than convenience, and plenty bad. I guess they're big enough to not be bothered that some will shop elsewhere as a result

TEAS is my nominated charity.
So sad especially when many people are having to cut back on their charity donations due to the cost of living crisis. Shame on amazon.

I guess Jeff Bezos needs the cash to buy some more rivets for his space rocket

OUCH! I have nominated TEAS sanctuary as my Amazon Smile charity.

 

[munchmonster]

So very sad and annoying! TEAS was mine too. I will certainly use them less now

Interesting blog post about the email they sent out here I wish Amazon had been honest about why it’s sunsetting AmazonSmile

Thank you. It just confirms my own thoughts.

That note at the end is spot on

Thank you. It just confirms my own thoughts.

A lot of what they say applies to the charity I work for. Our costs are overheads and very little on physical items we could buy from Amazon (maybe some notepads, post it's and pens). Can't exactly put gas, electric, water, and staff salaries on there can you!
