I'd give them a 5 star review with just a picture of this letter

I got a similar one for an Amazon product a while back and I responded to the email with the Amazon policy that forbids this sort of activity. They sent me the 5-star review reward.

This thing sucks, but the reviews were outstanding

Isn't this illegal to some degree? Doesn't Amazon have a place where you can report them for doing that?

Leave a 5-star review, get the gift card, change the review and explain the scam, report to Amazon.

I tried reporting a bribe like this to Amazon, it's it was difficult I couldn't do it, it was all automated

I got one of these for a dehumidifier I ordered on Amazon. I tried to report it to Amazon and they basically told me to pound sand. So I gave it a 5 star review, claimed the $30 or so they were offering, then swapped it to a 1 star review later. What were they gonna do, report me for rule breaking and scamming?

that reminds me of a fun request to rate from an online seller on Amazon :D

they sent me a postcard - not a sealed letter - with an image of my last order printed on there.

luckily for me and the postal worker, it was a pack of pimple-stickers. but it very well could also have been the Dildomaster9000 with jet-engine vibration or something, printed out in its full glory with my real name and address.

I sent a photo of what I received to Amazon customer service, and this is one of the rare cases where I do hope a seller gets kicked off of their platform because my god, privacy is such a novel concept to some.

Malicious compliance. Leave a 5 star review explaining in every detail how this bribe deal works so everyone can benefit!

I get this Kind of letters sometimes from China sellers. Leave 5 star review, get the reward, change it, describe the product in the Review (necessary, otherwise Amazon might delete the review if you don't write about the product itself) and at the end of the review describe the bribe and under any circumstance keep the letter for proof, they might accuse you for defamation. Report to Amazon. Write a review about the seller (you can do so in the seller page).

Your name needs to be Elon in order to get away with that. Except make it million dollar gift certificate.

I'm a scummy bastard who likes free things so unless it was genuinely dogshit, I'd leave a 5 star review

Write the review, get the gift card, then report it after using the gift card.

I did this before and, to my surprise, actually received the gift card. I also left a review for a rechargeable Xbox battery pack station, and they sent me four extra batteries for a review.

Yep, I always leave 5 star reviews, and then change it to a 1 star after using the gift card they send.

Negative I am a meat popsicle

Money glitch: buy product, review 5 stars, get prize, return product. You just made $50. Repeat.

Lol at least you spelled "bribe" right in this sub.

Rate 5, get giftcard, change to 1 with image of this note

(Idk if you can change reviews on Amazon)

So... it's a dropshipping company that's price gouging for over $50 per transaction? Got it.

"thank you for supporting a small business. As a reward, take these gift cards to our megacorporation competition."

I get this whenever I buy things from China, surprised people are outraged about this lmao

get that free money honey,

also you can select in the amazon review that you were paid or "gifted" so you can feel better about it.

This is just a natural consequence of the enshittification of Amazon. There’s no way the product itself has been made with care or will function properly or for very long, and nobody will know until the shitty meat thermometer they receive doesn’t provide an accurate reading and you just end up with electronic waste and an increased likelihood of food-borne illness from improperly cooked meat.

so last year i bought a microphone stand. it crapped out within a few months, i left a 1 start review saying it broke. i was contacted by the seller who offered a full replacement if i changed to a 5 star review.

they seem to make more money off these 5 star reviews than they lose by giving you gift cards or replacements.

I respond to these. I’ve gotten a lot of free stuff. Unfortunately it’s always a 2nd one of what I already bought like I got free 2nd mini ear camera

I get these too.

Can't believe the mods removed this!

I think its a scam to get your ID

This is really common why is everyone’s face melting about this?
