AmazonSmiles charity donation gets discontinued. Jassy cutting costs I see. Well he also cut back on how much drivers make too. Prices of everything have gone up. Pay accordingly.
Don't be a Jack Ass Jassy
@Myana Write a letter to Jassy.
@MrGoat Holy hell Amazon makes it impossible to give feedback. Went around the site, no links. Chatted with a rep. They couldn't tell me where to send feedback and got rid of me by giving me a link that had nothing to do with anything.
@MrGoat Lol! I obviously asked their bot the wrong way. And the rep was no better.
I ended up sending my letter to their press department. My husband was in public relations and says that press departments normally send that kind of feedback on to the company.
@Myana I wrote to [email protected] and [email protected] @MrGoat
@altucker @MrGoat Weird! For my account it was automatic. In fact if I went to the regular Amazon page it would actually prompt me, "Would you rather do this through AmazonSmile?" One click would get me back to the right place.
It wasn't huge but even a little bit of cash helped our local theater group. They were in fact the people that got me to use AmazonSmile in the first place. With a bunch of supporters using it, the theater got a small but useful check regularly.
@Myana just one more reason not to use Amazon (in case stealing open source software & patenting it, mistreating & underpaying employees, union busting, stealing product ideas from small artists/producers without compensation & overcharging aren't enough...)
@MrGoat got an email from them about this really bad decision. I responded and told them what I thought and what my plan was in response.
If others want to do the same this is the address the excuse making email came from. -

And I added Bezos’ email as well. -

@MrGoat there are other places to buy from...
@MrGoat Very annoyed to get the note about the demise of AmazonSmiles. It was so damned bogus. The program "wasn't as impactful was we'd hoped." WTF does that mean? It was impactful for the charities that received the money. I know the little theater group I donated to really appreciated what they got.
