say, your wife has been online shopping on Amazon WITHOUT USING TVWBB LINK over the last 5 days and has 14 items in her "cart"
when it comes time to check out...can i simply go to the link provided by TVWBB and pay for everything WITH THE CREDIT STILL GOING TOWARDS TVWBB?
No, that doesn't work. The forum only gets credit for items added to the cart AFTER our link is clicked, not before. After you click our link, we get credit for items added to your cart until one of the following happens, in this order: 24 hours have passed after clicking our link; you complete the check-out process; you re-enter Amazon using someone else's link.
Solution: Empty the shopping cart by clicking "Save for Later" under each of the 14 items. Now, click the forum's Amazon link and go back into the shopping cart. In the Saved for Later list, click a product title to return to the product detail page and click the "Add to Cart" button. Repeat the process for each item in the Saved for Later list, then check out.
DO NOT CLICK "Move to Cart" in the Saved for Later list as a shortcut--the forum doesn't get credit if you do that.
I've thought about asking the very same question Jim. I hope so since my son created an Amazon wish list for Christmas, I used his link to put a couple of items in my cart, then logged on via TVWBB to buy.
No, that doesn't work, either. You have to enter Amazon using the forum link, then click items in your son's Wish List, add them to your cart, and check-out.
Solution: Same process as described above for Jim.

Remember that once you check-out, the slate is wiped clean. You've got to click the forum's Amazon link again before adding new items to your cart. That's why I recommend making
