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

@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.

@Myana @MrGoat I tried to use it regularly but needed to do summersaults to get it to apply to each order using a special site address, instead of having it automatically tied to my account. It wasn't impactful because it wasn't applied fairly.

@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 @altucker Doesn't make sense to me to cut a charity donation from the purchase as it's a tax write-off.
