I also signed up and have bought a few things but it is my understanding
only 0.5% of the purchase price of eligible products goes to AMSAT. So if
you buy a DVD worth $19.99 and it's eligible for AmazonSmile, roughly $0.10
of that $19.99 will go to AMSAT but I think Amazon waits until something
I've also signed up, and have probably bought a few hundred dollars worth
of stuff since then. .5% is not huge, and is probably more helpful to
Amazon (via publicity) than to AMSAT, but it can't hurt.
I would add that usually I go directly to the Smile page with my link, but
on the rare occasion
To date, we have received $66.62 from Amazon Smile

On Tue,
It isn't a lot of revenue earned but it's one more capacitor on a
cubesat board, I guess. The thing is to persuade more people to sign up.

I've been meaning to ask...
It's been a while now, since Amazon introduced the Smile program. Is
there anyone who knows if it is paying dividends of any sort? Is it rude
of me to ask? I'd like to think that anyone who supports amateur
satellites would have signed up, but who knows? Maybe I'm
Extra $5 donation from AmazonSmile if you buy by March 31, 2014.
Normally, when you buy any eligible item at AmazonSmile,
your chosen nonprofit gets one-half of one percent of the purchase price.
Spend $100, and they get fifty cents.
With this bonus, it's the equivalent of you spending $1000!
God above, who thinks these names up?
Anyway, Amazon Smile, with AMSAT as the recipient. It'll probably only
result in a buck or two coming your way, but if enough people sign up,
you might get $50, which apparently is all it costs to build a hamsat!
