So, I do believe it's working correctly by opening your Amazon App (provided the app is a place where you make purchases, of course). I read some google search results and some random blogs and Quora entries said yes it will work. Amazon's FAQ section doesn't address it. I just made a purchase from clicking the link here, which opened my Amazon mobile app. So curious to see if it works. I also read that the link works for anything purchased within 24 hours so even if you logout, log back in it's supposed to work. There are also widgets you can place on sites to take people to it, does Invision have that capability?

I had actually read something about links lasting for longer than 24 hours, 30 days comes to mind, but that might be something related to eBay 'promoted' listings. Invision may have something, either officially or 'community' made. I'll poke around over there and see what I can dig up.

January 7, 20223 yr I am guessing that the Rakuten link is only for new accounts? I use that all the time.

Looking at yesterday, nothing shows as being purchased. It may not show until they actually ship it to you, though (I'm not sure).

That's probably the issue. Most of those places charge initially but take it off your account till it's actually shipped

"Earnings, Clicks and Ordered Items". Ordered Items will show when something's been ordered but not yet shipped. It won't convert to 'earnings' until it's been shipped (if I'm remembering right). Spoiler

I know when I used this a few times it tried to get me to go on the app but I just used the website because I was afraid it would screw it up
January 7, 20223 yr I know there's a thread in WU but you should also create one in CVON and sticky it
January 9, 20223 yr Signed up for and used rakuten.com to make a couple of purchases. Amazon is no longer affiliated with them but tons of other sites. I may even continue to use it.
January 9, 20223 yr Author I see that 4 people have signed up for Rakuten, now it's just a matter of making the qualifying purchases within the first 90 days. 2 hours ago, Thing3 said: Amazon is no longer affiliated with them but tons of other sites.

Gave my wife the link, buy hoping you can find a way to load an affiliate ID into your account as she mostly uses the app.

Approved mobile apps can participate in the Amazon Associates program; however, we ask that you please review the Mobile FAQ page as Mobile apps require a separate approval process. They will also earn advertising fees differently than links on websites.
January 9, 20223 yr i tried using amazon link for stuff in the past and a lot of times it never showed up for you which was a huge disappointment and part of the reason i stopped coming here to use the link each time. i signed up for rakuten site and as soon as i get a couple extra $$$ i’ll find one of the places to buy some stuff i need from.

Sometimes the Amazon purchases take a little while to show up, depending on when they're actually shipped and officially charged to your payment method. So it could be that when I checked, they hadn't shown up yet but that's not to say they never showed up. For 2020, we earned almost $20. For 2021 we earned a tad over $60 and for 2022, so far, we're a tad over $30 already. So using it will definitely help.

Keep using our link throughout the year and if this average holds steady, we can not only fund this upcoming year but next year too. Just seeing this now- I will start using the link!
January 10, 20223 yr 21 hours ago, QBhunter58 said: Is this through amazon smile? Curious how you set it up Amazon smile is different. Smile donates a percentage of your purchases to your selected nonprofit. The affiliate program is open to anyone. If EMB could get nonprofit tax status then they could register for Amazon smile but that would be a hassle.
