FREQUENTLY ASKED
QUESTIONS
What is
AmazonSmile?
AmazonSmile is a simple and automatic way for you to
support Love Thy Neighbor every time you shop, at no cost to you. When you shop
at smile.amazon.com, you’ll have the exact same shopping experience as the
regular Amazon.com website, with the added bonus that Amazon will donate a
portion of the purchase price to our organization.
How do I shop at
AmazonSmile?
To shop at AmazonSmile simply go to smile.amazon.com from your web browser
on your computer or mobile device. You may also want to add a bookmark to smile.amazon.com to make it even easier
to return and start your shopping next time at AmazonSmile.
How will I know I
am still enrolled for LTN?
Once you have enrolled, our organization name will show
up on the top left of your screen right under the item search bar each time you
visit smile.amazon.com.
Can I use my
existing Amazon.com account on AmazonSmile?
Yes, you will use the same account on Amazon.com and
AmazonSmile. Your shopping cart, Wish List, wedding or baby registry, and other
account settings will always be the same.
Which products on
AmazonSmile are eligible for charitable donations?
Tens of millions of products on AmazonSmile are eligible
for donations. Products will be marked
“Eligible for AmazonSmile donation” in their product details, usually
under the product description but sometimes over to the right. Recurring
Subscribe-and-Save purchases, Kindle books, and subscription renewals are not
currently eligible.
The AmazonSmile Foundation will donate 0.5% of the
purchase price from your eligible AmazonSmile purchases. The purchase price is
the amount paid for the item minus any rebates and excluding shipping &
handling, gift-wrapping fees, taxes, or service charges. From time to time,
they may offer special, limited time promotions that increase the donation
amount on one or more products or services or provide for additional donations
to charitable organizations. While this
amount may sound small, it adds up quickly!!!
The more people we can sign up to buy through AmazonSmile, the better.
So please share with your friends and family!
Can I receive a
tax deduction for amounts donated from my purchases on AmazonSmile?
Donations are made by the AmazonSmile Foundation and therefore
are not tax deductible by you.
How do I set up to
support Love Thy Neighbor when shopping on AmazonSmile?
On your first visit to smile.amazon.com, you will be asked to select a charitable
organization to receive donations from eligible purchases before you begin
shopping. AmazonSmile will remember your selection, and then every eligible
purchase you make at smile.amazon.com
will result in a donation to LTN. In the
box that says pick your own charitable
organization, type LTN Love Thy
Neighbor. Please note that there
are more than one Love Thy Neighbor organizations, so be sure to select the
correct one. Ours is labeled LTN Love Thy Neighbor and it will have
a Frisco, TX address (this is based
on an old address for us and we are getting this updated to Flower Mound, TX,
but Amazon indicated that it could take several weeks.)
Can I verify after
the fact that my order has benefited LTN?
Yes, if you go to an order in your history and click on
ORDER DETAILS, it will show a note at the top stating "Supporting LTN Love
Thy Neighbor" if it was an eligible order.
