Woot makes you login to Amazon to check out now?
0I don’t know when that changed. I don’t have an Amazon account and don’t want one, but I had a woot account from long before the buyout, so I kept using it now and then even though it’s Amazon now. My most recent order was probably sometime last year.
Last night I tried to buy something and it was impossible (as far as I could tell) to check out without logging into Amazon. I had promised the item to someone else, so I got a family member to make the purchase for me. But, barring something really exceptional, that was probably my last purchase from woot.
Oh well, so long Woot, I didn’t like it much any more, but there were occasional good deals there on stuff that doesn’t show up on Meh. I’ll try not to miss it much.

@phr Yup! It’s Amazon Pay ONLY now which sucks because it’s an extra loophole to endure if you’re trying to win a “Box of Crap” (formerly known as a “Bag of Crap”)!! Even those coveted items have gone downhill as well. Used to get some good to great items from them; now they’re ALMOST as worthless as the IRK!!
@IndifferentDude Over the years I have gotten at least 2 dozen BOC’s and not one of them contained anything I could use. All trashed or donated. Same as IRK’s.
I haven’t order from Amazon Refurbs…errrrr…I mean Woot in years.
In 2023.

Woot? Food
Amazon? Toys
Woot has had some good deals for outdoor stuff and computers. I’ve been habitually checking meh and woot postings every night. Meh’s is an hour earlier because of their time zone. I guess I will try to get out of the habit of checking woot. It’s sad. Thanks. Oh well.
That really pissed me off too. I have a family Amazon account but any of my old orders were tracked to my old woot id and now that’s lost (like tees that don’t fit anymore or ones that I’ve gotten ridden of but my want again). I don’t look there much anymore as well.
T-Shirts.
I have a list of some I like and buy them when they’re on sale.
Any other deals that are good are often prime only, no thanks Jeff.
