Amazon’s ‘Dash’ button now effectively free

Amazon.com Inc said its “Dash” button, which allows customers to place orders instantly, will now be effectively free.

The company's Prime members can now buy the button for US$4.99 (RM21.04) and get the amount discounted on their first purchase using the button, the e-commerce giant said on Wednesday.

The button will now be available to all Prime members – those paying US$99 a year for two-day delivery and other benefits.

The company said it will add 11 more brands to the button, bringing the total to 29.

The “Dash” button, launched earlier this year, allows Amazon's Prime members to order a product with just a push, using a WiFi connection, and can be hung or hooked anywhere in the home. – Reuters, September 3, 2015.
