The Offer

- Amazon is offering to match donations made to Toys for Tots when using Amazon Alexa (they’ll match toy donations and cash donations). Just say “Alexa, donate to Toys for Tots”
The Fine Print
- Amazon is providing an easy way for you to donate to a child in need this holiday season with Alexa and Toys for Tots. Just say “Alexa, donate to Toys for Tots.” You will be asked if you would like to donate money or an item. If you choose to donate an item, you will be presented with an item up to $20 that is appropriate for kids across a broad range of ages from the Toys for Tots wish list. After you confirm your toy donation order with Alexa, Amazon ships the toy directly to Toys for Tots. You can donate to Toys for Tots with Alexa any time through January 11, 2021. Amazon will match the first $200,000 in donations with a toy-for-toy match.
Our Verdict
Amazon matching the first $200,000 in donations is honestly pretty pathetic. Hopefully they update when that cap is hit, but I doubt that’ll be the case.
Just a quick, minor thing:
The charity’s name is “Toys for Tots”, not “Toys for Toys”.
Also, if it was expired before (as your article title indicates), I think maybe it’s back again (at least as of the time I’m typing this). (-Edit- Nope. Never mind. My mistake.)
Bezos could easily donate 1 billion, but I guess he’s too poor for that?
No, he will take a tax deduction on his 200k though.
Thought about the same. What a joke.
For real. What a joke this promo is. Bezos is scum.
“Donations to toys for tots is currently unavailable. Thanks for your generosity.”
