Great offer Amazon - discount/freebies for reviews

Hope it's better than the one I bought, it has a chemical smell I can't get rid off, it's now working itself closer to the recycling bin, wouldn't have minded if it was only a quid but it was the most expensive thing I've bought in a while :(

Seems alright TBH, no smell and firmer than I thought (well, now its had a few days to fully expand again anyway). Been having shoulder problems lately so will see if it helps.

In other news I just ordered a 52w solar panel for £30, which is nice.

Hi Tek how do you mean been offered, i also do the Amazon review but for some reason most the stuff is not overly good.

I put in requests for things I like the look of, and then if accepted get a voucher code to use at amazon. I'd say I get offered maybe 5-10% of what I request. I agree that a lot of it is gash, and can often be found cheaper than the 'discounted' price! I just make sure I only ask for stuff I want, got loads of camping gear like lights and solar stuff. Are you using the same site? I use https://www.amzreviews.co.uk but was offered very little until I'd completed 10 reviews, I'm now on 64 and get offered much more, still miss out on many I fancy though!

Hi Tek how do you put a request in ? i am a member of the amzreviews website but all i do is click the go shopping tab.

Its just when you click review now - you don't actually get to review it you are merely requesting it. Then at some point you'll either get accepted and get a voucher or get rejected. Not that it ever tells you, you need to click on review requests to find out.

Thats the same as i do, but most stuff is vitamins and skin care lotions maybe as you review more things you get access to better things.

I can see loads? You can search or filter at the top, but you have to keep clicking next page to find other stuff. I usually just look at one category at a time and order by newest products.

As an example type solar and order by highest price first, you should see a 100w solar panel? Actually got my eye on that but not sure its really a 50% saving!

Thanks Tek your right i do see the Solar panel i have just always just set it to the .co.uk website because it is always filtering by amazon.com for some reason by default.

"The change comes after an analysis of 7m reviews by ReviewMeta, which found that the average incentivised review had a star rating of 4.74 out of five, while the average non-incentivised review stood at 4.36. That’s enough to push a product from the 54th percentile all the way up to the 94th, the site said."

And to think I've awarded 2 3 star reviews this morning already, I must be a right git! Better get my last ones in quick then, ordered 5 items yesterday alone.

They aren't doing very well on it, I submitted 5 reviews today all saying I received it at a discount and all went through. Maybe it's just future purchases?

Spoke too soon! The site now says reviews aren't necessary, and rather than saying you've reviewed something you just click to say you've purchased it. Insinuations appear to be please do review but don't mention the discount, and I am now limited to 150 vouchers per month (and people are moaning, thats 5 a day FFS! how much do others go through? Are they running businesses via this?).

Will see how it affects what I'm offered.

Bit of a resurrection!

Been getting a fair few bits and pieces lately, and not leaving reviews anyway :p
They've changed things a bit though, there are now instant deals where you don't get selected, you always get the code. Some of this is absolute garbage, some is still higher than other amazon sellers, but there are some gems. I just got a 2.5" hard drive caddy and a 4 port USB3 hub for free! There is also a 5 port USB charger with quickcharge 3 for £2.99, go to the following site and search for sabrent in amazon UK.
