As the post says, just type it into the Amazon.com search bar, instead of using Alexa.

Maths: 7.5 million if each of the 1.5 million employees gets it.
(This includes corporate folks who don't need the 5 bucks).
That's 0.00306% of the head honchos wealth.
If you had one million dollars, that would be 30 bucks ( or 2 HDMI Cables lol)

Unrelated. Prime delivery used to be quick. Now, most deliveries take over 4 days minimum. It's even worse when you order multiple items over a a few days. Amazon will delay older orders to put all items in one delivery.

Since you shared your appreciation, as a special thanks this holiday season, the driver who delivered your package will receive an extra $5 at no cost to you. This promotion is for a limited time only.
