Well, it let customers decide as long as those customers enabled ads on their phone, remembered to visit smile.amazon every time, and re-enrolled in the program every year when it turned itself off. It was pretty clearly designed to stop you from using it.


I’m not sure what you’re talking about. Other than ordering from smile, which was admitted a naked attempt to drive down use, none of what you said occurred to me. I’ve been using smile since it started.


You absolutely had to re-enroll something…

Ah, looks like it was only for the phone app. It makes you re-enroll twice a year.

On the website of course you have to remember to go there every time, unless you got a browser extension.


And you had to keep app notifications turned on. You're completely right.


what's this bit about re-enrolling? You had to reenroll your charitable organization you wanted to contribute to each year?
