Amazon.com 1.57% Discount for using A9
I seem to be behind the 8 ball on this one but I just recently found out that Amazon.com has a PI/2 or 1.57% discount offered. You must sign into your Amazon.com account and use the A9 search engine. The search box is located in the upper right corner.
After you search enough an icon 
should show up to the left of the Amazon.com one. It took me several days of searching a few times a day before it showed up. You don’t have to do searches of products from amazon either. Some of mine included thing such as “How much longer until you give me this stupid discount.”
I often buy books from them so this should help out in the future. 1.57% isn’t amazing but every little bit helps. I hear it goes away if you don’t use the search engine often so if ya have a big purchase to make might want to think about it a few days beforehand.

I wonder what kind or marketing advantage they see in the whole pi/2 thing? … to me it just seems like a lame way of covering up that it’s only a tiny 1.57% discount.
They should just make it a clean 5% after X number of searches and maybe a 10% discount once a month if you use A9 every day.

Yea I was trying to think of some way that Pi related to A9 but nothing came to me. So it probably is just a way to hide that its only a 1.57% discount.

We actually set up our store, for the exlicit reason to garner a percentage “off” of our purchases through our own affiliate sales.
