Woosh.

A simple no-buy for one day boycott led to the way to Prime cancellation.

More than one, actually. I talked to my sister about it and she ended up cancelling hers as well. A couple of our friends did as well.

I used to buy a ton of Amazon stuff. Mostly art supplies, pet supplies, clothes, novelties I didn't need.

One day, I was browsing Reddit and I was like-- "what is this boycott thing all about?" and then I started by not ordering for one whole day!

Then one whole week!

Then one whole month!

Anyway, I ended up cancelling my Prime subscription, deleting my Amazon account completely, and cancelling my Prime Store credit card.

Then at work, for Valentine's Day, we each received a $200 dollar Amazon gift card as an employee appreciation gift.

I spoke up and said that I would prefer to receive cash or nothing at all because my values did not align with Amazon-- which caused many of my coworkers to decline theirs as well.

It was so perplexing to leadership, that they decided that going forward they are just going to give us a $200 cash bonus on our paychecks

So anyways, that's the impact one of these "pointless" boycott posts had on me.
