Vendors offering gift cards in exchange for email addresses and reviews
Quite by accident, a customer returned a competitor's product to us that they purchased on Amazon. Not the issue - its inexpensive and we don't care. The issue is that it was in the original box and contains a very nice heavy-stock printed card that reads:
Activate Your Warranty Now
and get a $5 Gift card
visit the link to get the gift card xxxxxxx
There is a QRS code too to scan
When you go to the link, it asks for your real email address and Amazon order #.
You then are told that a gift card will be sent to you, and asks you to do a review.
What a great idea - except ..... isn't this totally against all Amazon rules? Seems clearly to not be playing on the same field as us.
The company is located in China (seller info - all all Chinese); product shipped by Amazon.
