The list of items decided by Amazon is shown to the reviewers twice a month, and the reviewers can choose two items from the list. Reviewers are written within 30 days after receiving the item, and as long as they do not sell the goods or give it to someone, the reviewers can receive the goods for free. Erb who is using this program for five years is totally acquiring goods equivalent to several thousand dollars (about several hundred thousand yen). Amazon can work on reviewers to bring back items, but it seems that Erb has not seen such things in the past.

But,Amazon's product pageLooking at ... ...


There certainly was a review written as "Amazon Vine Review".


Anindya Ghose of New York University who studies the review of consumers claims that "If it is a free gift, it will be a more positive review than paying the money and getting the item, but the Amazon publicity" "It is said that" Amazon Vine reviewers give more rigorous scores than the average customer on the website "in response to NPR's question. "It is our view that Amazon Vine reviewers take seriously their role of reviewing products from a fair perspective."

Amazon will send items to Amazon Vine members, in particular with no other reviews. Regardless of what the item is, it is because it can be sold better than products with no reviews, even with a low evaluation review.
