    In a word No.

    From Amazon

    What is Amazon's policy for Associates placing orders for themselves?

    You may not purchase products during sessions initiated through your own Associates links and will not receive referral fees for such orders. This includes orders for customers, orders on behalf of customers, and orders for products to be used by you, your friends, your relatives, or your associates in any manner.

        Instead, why not set up a worthwhile charity to receive a percentage of your own purchase spending? Here is a link: Amazon Smile

          I was not even aware of this option. Thanks for the share.

    No, you might lose your account if you do.

    Buying stuff from your own Amazon affiliate link is a big no-no.

    That said I do know they have functionality that allows people who sell both on Amazon and Ebay to buy their own products from Amazon to fulfill a sale on Ebay.

    I've heard from people who got away with it, but technically it is against Amazon's rules.

    That's a No, No and if you value your account then I wouldn't go there

    Not a good idea, and Amazon won't let you.

    If you want to go shopping, but save money, you could try to have a friend do it for you, from a different computer (IP Address), and obviously not with your own credit card.
