Amazon shuts down PriceZombie (the price tracking tool)
« on: March 25, 2016, 08:06:31 PM »
Just saw this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/Frugal/comments/4bya49/pricezombie_killed_by_amazon/

I don't use PriceZombie, but I do use a similar tool called camelcamelcamel for the vast majority of my purchases on amazon. Hope they do not take that down as well. I can see how it would make sense from amazon's perspective: they already lose >4% every purchase on commissions to these affiliates, in addition to the fact that customers end up paying less than they would have, without these tools.

If they shut down the other price trackers, I'll probably cancel my amazon student account.

 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
