Default Amazon Dash

Wow I can only imagine the possibilities for quilting. LOL running low on thread? Press the Dash button. Need batting? Press a Dash button. Need a new rotary blade? Press the Dash button.

Dash is the new Amazon feature that sends you a free wireless Dash stick with the product's name on it. When you want the product you press the button and it's sent to you. I thought it was an April Fool's joke until I saw it on the news.

Be careful of that one!!! Check it out carefully before you do anything you might regret.

It's legit. Amazing advancement in shopping. You have to be a Prime member to get one and by invitation only for the first trial. Pure genius is what the news is saying. I don't use any of the products that are available now for Dash anyway. I may not use it now but I want to keep up with what's new and available.

No this is legit. I saw it on CNBC, a stock show that discussed this new feature that Amazon is introducing. Pretty bad timing for doing a press release on April Fool's day !!

why not have the brain replaced by a Amazon chip. Doesn't anyone think for themselves anymore?

Does it shop for the lowest price for you? I want the lowest price I can get on thread, batting, etc...even food...so I would hesitate ( a lot!!) to just push a button!

Has this taken the place of Amazon's Vine Program? I am a Vine member but they stopped sending emails with Vine choices and so I never now know where to look for the offerings.

Only works with the first push, and then cancelled after 30 minutes. It's connected to your phone. I doubt I use it but it's fun to know what's available and how it will morph into being the norm in a few years. Ten years ago did you think you would go anywhere without a phone in your purse?
