Amazon Prime Members: Request FREE Amazon Dash Button (Just Press & Never Run Out of Products)
April Fools joke or legit Amazon offer? I am not sure but I thought this was worth a post regardless! 🙂
If you’re an Amazon Prime Member, head over here to request an invitation to score a FREE Amazon Dash Button. If approved, you’ll receive a Dash Button which will allow you to place an order for household favorites with just the press of a button. There are currently 254 items available for purchase using the Dash Button. If you are selected to receive a Dash Button, you’ll receive an email with an invitation to select your button(s) in the coming weeks.
Dash Button is simple to set up. Use the Amazon app on your smartphone to easily connect to your home Wi-Fi network and select the product you want to reorder with Dash Button. Once connected, a single press automatically places your order. Amazon sends an order alert to your phone, so it’s easy to cancel if you change your mind. Unless you elect otherwise, Dash Button responds only to your first press until your order is delivered.

If it is an April Fools Joke, they should consider it for real. It’s kind of awesome.
I signed up anyway in case its not. 🙂
I’ll give it a go!
It’s legit! They’ve been testing it for about a year. Originally it was a wand that was used for all available products, but has now transitioned to brand specific buttons!
Just signed up – hopefully I’ll get an invite !
Hell of a way to keep people brand loyal, I suppose!
I’ll only be a prime member for 8 more days so would the button be useless then?
I signed up too, but I’m worried my kid would get button push happy if I got this…
It looks like the first press of the button will order it, send you an email so you can cancel it if need be, and any additional presses of the button won’t go through until your order is delivered.
Exactly my worry – I know my kids would come along and press it just for fun.
I really hope this isn’t real. Just what we need, more trash to fill up our landfills! 🙁 The wand idea mentioned above is a way better idea
Like!
Really not understanding the point of this…
I hope this has a lock… I can only imagine the Huggies we could order from an overzealous toddler with a button pushing fetish.
I was thinking the same thing!
Would this not send you items that may be more than your normal price point? If you’re having to check the price constantly to see if you want to buy at that price it seems like it would defeat the purpose of this button. Just a though.
Hahahaha
Lol! We’re not there yet peeps, not yet….
I have to agree I am skeptical of this idea, and as a family of 7 I would want one for everything we use, but then again I buy the cheapest out of a list of acceptable brands for each item so by the time I log on to price check it would be useless. I love the idea of a barcode scanner that could make a list of what we need based on category and then categorize them by price, so say I scan a bottle of Heinz ketchup then it would give me a list of 5-7 most common ketchups and price. There’s only a few things I only use one brand of.
Yep
This is a great idea, right up until the point your 2-year-old orders 50 bottles of Tide…
I hope this is real! I’ll never run out of toilet paper or tissues again!
The button only responds to the first push until your order arrives, so no need to worry about your kid pushing the button fifty times!
Must get and push ALL the buttons!!
