[SammyS]

We've ditched our old affiliator and are now directly connected with Amazon Affiliate. Here is the new link with our tag. Thanks!

For quick access, simply open either one or both sites and add it/them to your favorites list.

Reminder for students to buy their textbooks and class materials here!

Does this apply to all textbooks and lab equipment? I spend a lot of money on books and lab equipment and other material and if this applies to them then I'll make sure to buy everything through PF from now on.

Absolutely!

 

[TimeDoctor]

Absolutely!

Wonderful! Thank you.

I don't understand, why would amazon share the cost of a book with others?
Unless ofcourse they're raising the price of the books when you purchase through the link. :-D

its because the link encourages more sales. For example i was not planning to buy from amazon but now i see that i can support my favorite website and amazon has the same books i wanted so i buy them its a win win win

Yes it should as long as you click here first.

I am confused. That post from a decade ago says that clicking the .com link and then navigating to the .co.uk website and buying a product from that non-US site too will benefit Physics Forums. But a more recent reply says that buying from at least one of their non-US sites doesn't give the affiliate benefit. Could you tell the list of countries where they recognize the Physics Forums affiliate account and share a portion of the purchase cost?

Sorry for the confusion. Only the US version works, thanks!

Gold membership has become cheap due to inflation. Can we have Platinum, Rhodium, Einsteinium, etc. ?

 

[vanhees71]

I insist then to also have Darmstadtium ;-)). SCNR.

The link itself doesn't contain an ID, so there must be a cookie involved. I also noticed that if I right-click and choose to open the link in a new tab (Firefox), the ID isn't included in the URL that appears in the address bar. The obvious "workaround" is of course to just click it. It still opens in a different tab.

It Does contain a ID its just Some browsers hide it, double click the Address bar and it will show it

Amazon charges 15% to give sellers access to its customers; it pays 6% or 7% to get access to PF's customers, who could go elsewhere to buy things $-$ that seems like a mutually advantageous arrangement.

what about the amazon smile program? can i enable you there as well?

Unfortunately, they conflict. I'd stick with the smile program. Good stuff!

 

[scottedwards2000]

darn, ok - that's nice of you @Greg Bernhardt , but I wish you guys could be on that program!

Where can these discounts be got?

 

[Wrichik Basu]

There are no discounts. If you go through the PF affiliate link, then PF will get 6-7% of the price of the item you buy. For you, there is no change in the price (unless Amazon gives a discount).

 

[JesseProbst]

Uhm, got it, thanks!

 

[Office_Shredder]

Amazon pays physics forums for advertising their website. You may wonder if Amazon is getting their money's worth with the current setup, but we are all here talking about it, so I guess it's working.

 

[Slimy0233]

Physics Forums has opened an affiliate account with Amazon.com.

5-7% of any purchase you make is sent to Physics Forums. Think about buying your school textbooks and other materials this way.

Just click this link and the tracking system will register that PF sent you. Easy! Thanks!
