[OT] Amazon Gift Card Offer

Boris 1 year ago

I'm not a fan of purchasing items on Amazon, but sometimes I must.

A few days ago, I did purchase an item on Amazon, and a few days later, I received this postcard, offering a $70 Amazon gift card if I gave a 5 star review for the item I purchased. (What if I don't like the item?)

The offer is for the 'Early Reviewer Program'. This seems like bribery to me. I will not bite, or participate. I always doubted Amazon reviews, and this offer reinforces my opinion of their reviews.

When I searched about the 'Early Reviewer Program', it seems that program was cancelled in early 2021.

I am aware of Amazon Vine review, but this isn't it.

Anyone ever get this sort of offer lately?

TIA Boris

Sounds shady, I'd be skeptical too.

I do look at some of the reviews when I buy something. Some seem accurate, some, especially the one star, are stupid. Many have nothing to do with the product, but they are pissed that it was a day late or the box was dirty.

A new-to-me scam was in today's news - a social service organization supposedly received a $ 25 k bequest/donation from a person's Estate - then "mistakenly" received $ 65. k and were asked to return the excess $ 40. k . . . luckily they recognized the signs of a scam in time ..
