bfree74, here is a link to Amazon's Return Policy which is slightly different during the holiday season than the rest of the year Amazon.com: Help*>*Returns

[Linda Buquet]

I think he means cookie length???

[bfree74]

yes Linda, I did mean cookie length. I thought it was only 1 day, but just wanted to be sure. Thanks

I guess someone had Amazon in mind when they created the phrase
"short window of opportunity!"

bfree74, I misunderstood the wording of your question.

You might want to carefully read what Amazon has to say because it might be a little different than you might expect:

Referral Fees
We will pay you (in accordance with Sections 5 and 6 below) referral fees on certain Product sales to third parties. For a Product sale to be eligible to earn a referral fee, the customer must click-through a Special Link from your site to the Amazon.com Site, and add the Product to his or her shopping cart or purchase the Product via our 1-Click feature during a session. The session ends upon one of the following events: (a) 24 hours elapses from the customer's initial click-through, (b) the customer orders the Product, or (c) the customer follows a third party's Special Link. We will only pay referral fees on eligible Products after order, payment and shipping have occurred.
To permit accurate tracking, reporting and fee accrual, you must ensure that the Special Links between your site and the Amazon.com Site are properly formatted. We will not be liable for paying referral fees on purchases that are not correctly tracked and reported because the links between your site and the Amazon.com Site are not properly formatted.
We will not, however, pay referral fees on any Products that are added to a customer's Shopping Cart or are purchased via our 1-Click feature after the customer has reentered the Amazon.com Site (other than through a Special Link from your site), as determined by us, even if the customer previously followed a link from your site to the Amazon.com Site. In addition, gift certificates that are not redeemable on the Amazon.com Site are not eligible to earn referral fees.

You might want to pay special attention to this, and in particular notice what (c) states:

The session ends upon one of the following events: (a) 24 hours elapses from the customer's initial click-through, (b) the customer orders the Product, or (c) the customer follows a third party's Special Link.
