As long time readers of the website already know, BBI is a small "mom and pop" operation that relies on the generous support of its patrons once a year during our annual contribution campaign.
It is revenue raised through the campaign plus ad revenue that keeps this site in operation 365 days a year.
Donations are obviously voluntary. The amount given is at the sole discretion of the giver. Any amount helps!
Thank you to those who have already generously contributed!!!

It would kill the site.
Steve, it's a good question. To be frank, I have no idea. But I can ask.
BBI would have to register itself with the Amazon Smile program.
The upside of Amazon Smile is that if a user registers with BBI (or whoever) and also remembers to use smile.amazon.com instead of www.amazon.com, the site gets a cut of every sale with no clickthru needed.
The downside: The cut is only 1/2 of 1%, much lower than the clickthru rate.
Don't many here think that's exactly what it is?😜
So long story short, use the program you want, but the benefits won't accrue to both. You have to pick one.
Please confirm that you receive it.
Thanks!
Please confirm that you receive it.
I send out thank-you e-mails to everyone who has donated electronically through PayPal. I assume you mean you used your Visa through PayPal? If so, and you didn't receive an e-mail from me, please e-mail me at info@bigblueinteractive.com and I will look into it.

It is possible to do both -- I set up an organization at my daughters' school with Amazon Smile, and they continued to use the same clickthru links they already had set up with their Amazon Associates account. Both tied to the same associates account.
But as I said: you're not eligible to use Amazon Smile. It's only for charitable 501(c)(3) organizations.
