Amazon experimenting with Option to turn off Shopping Cart Warranty/Service Upsells for 3 Months

Amazon.com is apparently experimenting with a new feature to decrease customer irritation and increase checkout speed.

This is probably linked to an Amazon account, so you’d have to be logged on to your Amazon account to make this stick.

Here’s an annotated screenshot crop of what to look for ~ you may not notice it if you are moving quickly through the longer version of the checkout process:
