Can InkBird comment on this? or perhaps r2r can comment on this. Per Amazon, note the 2nd bullet:

Promotional Content in Customer Reviews​

Our goal is to capture all the energy, enthusiasm, and feedback (both favorable and critical) that customers have about a product while avoiding use of reviews to advertise, promote, or mislead.

To help illustrate, here are a few examples of reviews that we don't allow:

  • A product brand posts a review of their own product
  • A customer posts a review in exchange for cash, a free or discounted product, a gift certificate, or a discount off a future purchase provided by a third party
  • A customer posts a review in exchange for entry into a contest or sweepstakes or membership in a program
  • A customer posts a review of a game in exchange for bonus in-game content or credits
  • A relative, close friend, business associate, or employee of the product creator posts a review to help boost sales
  • A customer posts a review of the product after being promised a refund in exchange for the review
  • A seller posts negative reviews about a competitor's product
  • An author posts a positive review about a peer's book in exchange for receiving a positive review from the peer

Are you seeing some where that they have said you have to give a good review? I'm not finding it.

Are you seeing somewhere where Amazon specifies ‘good’? I’m not finding it:


  • A customer posts a review in exchange for cash, a free or discounted product, a gift certificate, or a discount off a future purchase provided by a third party

The concept is when you give away something you influence the review. It’s not such a hard concept to grasp and why Amazon forbids it

What I meant was somewhere in this thread or info somewhere about them asking for a review?

Yes it is a requirement that a review be left on Amazon. While I agree they are buying reviews there is no requirement to leave a good review. I have reviewed several items for InkBird and on one of them I left a bad review and they still refunded the purchase price just as they said they would.
Here you go Rehv. This isn't the first time. They requested I leave a review when they did their heater trial/test a year or so ago. So nothing seems to have changed. You have to leave a review to get the product for free, it seems.

It's against Amazon's policy, there have been a few brands that have gotten banned for solicitating reviews. One reason inkbird isn't allowed on Slickdeals anymore. How it's regulated here would be up to the admin as this place isn't owned by Amazon.

Personally I like freebies, even with a little bit of legwork.

I did not receive any message that my review had to be 5 stars.
