Some may not know this but Amazon will donate 5% of sales to charity here in the UK to support our lifeboats. FIVE PERCENT! That is a lot on every order and better than Amazon tax dodging that amount away outside the country. Follow the link every time or bookmark it.
Bookmark the actual links when you land on the Amazon page, saves you an extra click.
Wish I known before, spent lots with Amazon lately. Shall lessen my guilt. :wink:
I shall bookmark these now.

I knew the US site did something like this, I am glad to find a way to do it in the UK, hoping there are other charities out there this can be applied to as well, if anyone knows of more?

Great that you can give some money to charity with amazon orders, just a pity you have to click through another site everytime, as like cashback it makes it very easy to forget so the charities don't get as much as they otherwise might, shame there isn't a option to just have it do it by default....
But heated for supporting charities.

They are not really giving the money to charity, they are just affiliate links, so the charity make a bit of money from your purchase.
Pretty much like all the links on this site are affiliate links, with the site making £1000's per day. I wonder how much HUKD give to charity?

Who's to say that they're honest about giving And I wonder how much you give. Can somebody cast doubts upon my generosity too please?

They'll all work the same way and probably use the same thing behind the scenes. Only one will work at at a time, so if you regularly use multiples of Froggybank/Quidco/Amazon and want to choose one of them make sure you're using a cleaned browser and click through from the right place immediately before you buy or the reward could end up with any of them.

Thank you!
Also found giveasyoulive.com last week. Rates are pretty low but include all the big payers and seems to be on anything. Keeps track of what you've earned and goes to any charity registered with them of your choosing. Also has a handy chrome extension to remind you when shopping!
Amazon - 1%
John Lewis - 1%

Be sure to click through the RNLI link AFTER clicking the 'GET DEAL' link otherwise tax dodging HUKD will take the 5%.
edit: no s**t amazon is tax dodging too. i was quoting op but pointing out HUKD are doing the same.

What so their imported staff can use our services, like the NHS, Police, etc ?
That would be too decent.

National Insurance? VAT? Employing 0000's, and increasing, Business rates? Once we leave the EU they will relocate financial base here thanks to lower corp tax.
