Weird about the Oreos.
I deleted other non-book stuff from the list.
I ordered zero to one but can’t tell if the blog got credit. I’m still trying to figure out the link. If I ever do, I spend a lot at Amazon.
In terms of gift cards, does the credit come with the buying or the using or neither or both?
Michael, thanks. I don’t think the blog got credit.
Ginny, thanks for asking. I don’t know the answer. I’m guessing it’s either buying or neither.
I was looking at a laptop for a granddaughter. It would be a help if the blog had a clear link without prechosen items.
Thanks.
In the blog header, click on the “Click here if you don’t see the Amazon banner” link. It should now do what you need.
I did and bought some stuff. I do almost all shopping on-line.
Much appreciated.
