Amazon Smile ending

[Marauder2003]

Next month. I managed $218 to CRPA through Smile.



We are writing to let you know that we plan to wind down AmazonSmile by February 20, 2023. We will continue to pursue and invest in other areas where we’ve seen we can make meaningful change—from building affordable housing to providing access to computer science education for students in underserved communities to using our logistics infrastructure and technology to assist broad communities impacted by natural disasters.

To help charities that have been a part of the AmazonSmile program with this transition, we will be providing them with a one-time donation equivalent to three months of what they earned in 2022 through the program, and they will also be able to accrue additional donations until the program officially closes in February. Once AmazonSmile closes, charities will still be able to seek support from Amazon customers by creating their own wish lists.

Amazon has become a hot mess over the last couple years. The worst aspect is you search meticulously for an item (make, model, part number, etc.) and what do you get? 27 items that are NOT at all what you searched for. Shame on us if we miss that and have a return, due to their effort to sell more. NO way that oil filter for a 5 liter is fitting the 7.3. And this is the company that wants to sell me pharma? Oh he** no.

I've changed my buying habits to other vendors.

The CRPA donations were a tipping factor for my purchases, if everything else was close to the same I’d buy from Amazon so CRPA would benefit. I’ll look elsewhere more often now.
