Yesterday I got an email from Amazon saying I’d been sent an Amazon.com gift card redemption. I immediately deleted it.
There was no name and I knew no one I knew had mentioned they were sending me an Amazon gift card. It must be some kind of spam or virus or something bad. Hence, the delete button.
But then something nagged at me to go back and check it out.
Could it maybe be legit? Had I perhaps actually earned some money via my Amazon Associates program? That’s the only thing I could think of that would explain the gift card.
Incredibly, after going to check my AA account and learning that, yep, my balance had finally earned enough to merit paying me, I about busted out of my skin.
It’s nothing huge. All of $10.06.
I’ve had an Amazon Associates account for how long now? Since I launched courtneymroch.com back whenever that was. (I can’t even remember what year I did that. 2000? 2001? It seems I’ve had it forever now.)
After seeing where my fees came from, it’s all from my Haunt Jaunts blog. Amazing. It actually works.
No, I can’t buy much with it, but what a neat feeling to know it does actually work. I’ve read about other people making money that way for years, but until now I couldn’t say I ever had.
First time for everything!
