Anyone familiar with Amazon Vine?

[LogDog75]

I received an email from Amazon inviting me to signup for Amazon Vine. The reason was because of the quality of product reviews I had written. I looked up Amazon Vine and it's for real. What the program does is it allows you to choose from thousands of products which will be shipped to you free. All you have to do is evaluate the product and write a review within 30 days. The only catch I can see is you may owe state taxes on the products you receive.

So I'm wondering if anyone on this board is using Amazon Vine and if so, what's your experience.

2. I was on it for awhile and got some free stuff that I am still using years later

Still using a flatbed scanner, office chair , and soft sided cooler

You need to be discriminate about what products you choose IMO. Too easy to get caught up into "Why not, it's free" mentality

3. Did Amazxon or any of the companies that sent you stuff

send you a tax form for the stuff you received?

4. No, but it was several years ago.

Might be different now.

5. It woulld definitely depend on the state.

They all write their own rules.
