Yearly fees will be calculated as a percentage of previous buying patterns. For additional information on this calculation please email Shari@uoregon.edu.

You do NOT have to wait for your annual renewal date. After PCS has set up your UO Amazon for Business Prime account please reach out to Amazon Customer Service and they will help you get a prorated refund for the remaining time for your non-UO Amazon Prime membership.

Shopping on Amazon Business is a helpful overview of how the Amazon shopping experience works. Amazon Account Navigation is an overview of how to navigate the various options and scenarios that users may experience while using their Amazon accounts.

We recommend that you check the Administrator Best Practices tip sheet to help you establish a good routine for account maintenance. We also recommend looking at out to set up approvals and workflows in Amazon. This will help you to maintain or establish your interdepartmental approvals, processes, and workflows when purchasing on the Amazon platform.

Business Analytics on Amazon will be helpful for everyone but is especially helpful for Finance and Administrator roles. 

After your Pcard user and administrator accounts are established you can work on setting up Approval workflow. Approval workflow will provide the administrator visibility and control over purchasing.

If your account gets locked please call 1-800-388-5512 to reach the account specialists at Amazon. They specialize in login and password issues. 

 Amazon has an extensive gift card selection. Additional information, including how to purchase bulk gift cards, can be found on this Amazon page.

 The most common cause for not being able to complete a purchase is due to not being placed in a department group yet. This can often be fixed by reaching out to your local department administrator and having them request your addition to the department account.
