Amazon - 1.57% Off Virtually Everything
I figured I'd try using A9 for a few days to see if I could get the elusive A9 discount to show up, and I did. Here's how you can, too.
A9.com Instant Reward — 1.57% Automatically Off Virtually Everything
You can save an additional 1.57% (π/2%) on virtually all your purchases at Amazon.com by simply becoming a regular user of our new search engine at A9.com. A9.com — the search engine with memory — has received rave reviews since it was launched in September 2004. Once you use A9.com for a few days you will automatically be eligible for the A9.com Instant Reward. Just make sure that you are recognized by name when you use A9.com, and your Instant Reward will be applied automatically at checkout whether you use the Shopping Cart or our 1-Click® ordering. We also recommend that you install the A9 Toolbar (available for Windows Internet Explorer and for Mozilla Firefox on Windows, Mac, and Linux). You don't have to do it to get the Instant Reward, but your experience on A9.com will be greatly enhanced.
How can we afford this additional π/2% Instant Reward?
Sponsored links revenue — from the small text-based ads on A9.com and Amazon.com search results pages — will help offset costs we incur through the Rewards promotion. With our automatic π/2% Instant Reward, we are effectively sharing with you some of the money we collect from sponsored links, i.e. sharing the pi.
How often do I need to search using A9.com to get the A9.com Instant Reward?
While we are not revealing the exact criteria, they are minimal. If this is your first time at A9.com, you will be eligible after a few days of use. If you are already eligible, as little as one search a week will keep you eligible. (We reserve the rights to change the eligibility criteria at any time.) The total number of searches is not important; your eligibility depends on your regular use of A9.com.
Do I need to click on sponsored links to get the A9.com Instant Reward?
No. How often you click on sponsored links has no effect on your eligibility. We want you to use A9.com to match your needs, not ours.
