I got an email overnight from Amazon saying they will donate an extra $5 starting today, up to a total of $1 million. I bought a $7 book off of my wish list so JREF could get $5.
If you want to participate, make sure you go to smile.amazon.com first, and have JREF selected as your charity. If you go straight to the regular Amazon site, they don't contribute. I bookmarked the smile site instead of the regular shopping one to remind myself. |

I don't think this programme is running on the international flavours of Amazon (amazon.co.uk in my case) which is a shame.
If I'm wrong about that, however, can someone please correct me and give me a link! |

Randi posted the link on Facebook today, and judging by the comments, no it does not work for customers outside of the US.
The nicest thing about this special $5 incentive is my $7 book earned a donation that would have cost me $1000 in purchases normally. I have to remind myself sometimes programs like this and the charity credit cards are nice, but ordinarily JREF (and I) would be better off if I just gave them $10. |

I think the $5 bonus expired yesterday, but the half percent donation still can go towards JREF on most other purchases |

Thanks. Just renewed my Prime membership in anticipation of ordering more from Amazon and will use this when purchasing.
