How do I automatically access AmazonSmile every time?
For AmazonSmile to work, you need to log into smile.amazon.com whenever you shop  online. Nothing you purchase from the regular Amazon site counts. If you remember to go to AmazonSmile yourself, that’s awesome. For most people, the best thing to do is add a browser extension that automatically redirects you:

• For Google Chrome, check out Smile Always.
• For Firefox, check out Smile Redirect.
• For Safari, check out KeepOnSmiling.

Shoot, all my stuff is in my regular Amazon site shopping cart. What should I do?
Not to worry -- just don’t hit that “Proceed to checkout” button! You can swap to smile.amazon.com before you finalize your Amazon purchase. Simply leave items in your shopping cart, close out Amazon.com and reopen using the smile.amazon.com link prior to purchasing. Your items will remain in your cart and Amazon will donate 0.5% of the purchase price for whatever you buy.

Is there a specific time to shop Amazon Prime Day?
Tuesday, July 11th through Wednesday July 13th at midnight Pacific Daylight Time. All purchases you make on AmazonSmile generate a 0.5% donation to LifeRing annually.
