I looked at CBOE options quote for amzn oct 80 puts. There are five symbols:

YZNVP
YZNVP&A
YZNVP&C
YZNVP&P
YZNVP&X
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

These represent the exchanges on which the options are traded. The key is the letter after the &. A is American, C:Chicago, P:Pacific, and X: Philadelpia. Sometimes you can save several fractions comparing quotes. They are frequently different. However be careful because the best bid on an option may not be trading actively on that exchange. The two highest volume exchanges on Amazon are American and Chicago.

Hope that Helps
