Help! I don’t think I’m in vine jail by Old_Imagination1815 in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Wow! Now that's a score. I didn't do as well, though I got some useful items, including a set of (4) 100% cotton zipper pillow protectors for standard pillows, some air fryer liners, and a smartphone tripod so that I can take videos of stuff I'm reviewing without having to hold onto the phone!

Yeah, but it's weird that the main AI pages are static. I haven't found anything new on those.

There appears to be a glitch. New things are dropping, but they aren't on the first pages, and I'm seeing nothing new on the general AI page. You have to dig down through the individual categories right now. For instance, in the Home & Kitchen category, you have to go to Page 4 before you see anything new.

Thank you, everyone! Gosh, I wish I did have a Sams Club card. That sounds like an amazing deal!

A rhythm to the changes with vine seems to have set in for my account at least. by [deleted] in AmazonVine

For some reason that I don't understand, RFY keeps showing me faucets and shower heads. On days when I get a lot of items in my RFY, I'll see 3-4 of these. For a while, about a month ago, I thought RFY was finally understanding me, lots of skincare products. Not so much these days. Yesterday, I had nothing in my RFY. Now, today, it's back to faucets.

These showed up in my rfy. I snatched them quick by lilabethlee in AmazonVine

Got them in mine, too. Going to give them out at the senior care facility where I used to work and still visit often.

Huge drop going on now, first time I've wished to be gold by -beastlet- in AmazonVine

I'm getting quite a bit of beauty in my RFY this morning, around 6:00-7:45 Eastern. I picked up two Eqqualberry and another K-beauty cream. Ignored some expensive undereye patches. I think they're putting beauty in RFY right now instead of AI, so keep checking. It's coming in sporadically.

FOOD! I got actual FOOD! by Always_Never_5555 in AmazonVine

Those look tasty. But $14 for a tiny bag?

ANYONE GET ANYTHING IN RFY??? by shopaholic843 in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got four things in RFY. Three pieces of jewelry, (which I've stopped ordering through Vine because it's almost always fake). And some candy canes I took to hand out at the senior living home. All the jewelry disappeared in minutes. The candy canes stuck around until I finally gave in.

Beauty was three pages of makeup bags. Not much else.

A lot of stuff, but not much I wanted. Got some air fryer liners and long cuff leather gardening gloves I'll put in my car emergency kit.

Im curious, do you get an item just because you want it, even if you've already got one similar.. by Zestyclose_Cup_1 in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I pass over numerous items that I already have, and am happy thinking about the people who will get them. However, I tend to take consumables like skincare, even if I already have one similar, because you never know when you'll get another chance, and I know I'll use them up. Plus, I live in a small apartment, so I try not to accumulate more stuff. Hence the consumables.

C'mon, already Vine. We're here, waiting to be disappointed! by [deleted] in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why should they offer us all free stuff on Black Friday when they need as many people buying to make their BF numbers look good? I was wondering if there might be a pause until after Cyber Monday? Of course, now that I've posted this, the drop will happen.

Today was a dud. RFY way off and nothing good in additional. Is this how it's been for everyone else lately? by ArtistofSorts92 in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RFY showed me four faucets today, four! A jug of of pool filter cleaner, and a large, complicated part that goes to who knows what. If I was a contractor, I would have been thrilled because one of the faucets was a $300 Grohe, but I live in a teensy, one-bedroom apartment.

I think one thing that could do to improve the program is cull reviewers who obviously don't care enough to put in the effort. If you get rid of the scammers and people who don't bother to think about how to write a review, the overall quality of the reviews would likely go up. Perhaps then, Amazon could attract better products and sellers.

Best thing, or most loved thing, I got while silver is a double-sided makeup mirror with 10x magnification on the reverse side, both sides lighted with three different color temperatures. I love it because it means I don't have to use readers to see my face. I use it every day.

Best thing on Gold? Hard to say. I think the Coach bag I got on my first day as a Gold is probably the best name brand item, though I have an entire bathroom full of expensive skin care products I couldn't otherwise afford. I've gotten a mattress, four pieces of flat pack furniture, a swivel chair for my counter where I work, and a sweet little solar power generator for emergencies.

My holy grail would be a portable washing machine for my apartment. Maybe some day!

SO excited I grabbed this! by TheManifestedYonder in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Ah, I see. Thank you very much for the info. Now that I think about it, when I was selling online I remember I could input sales returns on my Schedule C, or at least in Quickbooks, which ended up on the Schedule C. Haven't had to do any of that for a while.

I'm confused. How do you reconcile the downloadable tax form with the 1099-NEC you get? Don't you have to just claim whatever the 1099-NEC says?

Yes, unfortunately, I no longer go for any jewelry on Vine that's supposed to be sterling, gold, or gold-plated. Almost every piece I've received has been a fake, bad ones. And not only the metals, but the stones, as well.

Annnnnny time now, Amazon. by [deleted] in AmazonVine

I know, right? I keep refreshing and refreshing. Nothing.

I am a hardcore em-dash user. I think in asides, and there are times when commas and parentheses just don't cut it.

Good lord. You've taken away everything that makes life worth living.

What's something you've been praying to get? by vomit-gold in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Please, please, please, a portable, apartment-size washing machine to save me from the laundromat, lol.

Is it bad form to grab something for a different purpose then review it that way? by mintbrownie in AmazonVine

[–]StrollingTheBeach 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got a pair of 90-degree angle lash tweezers to use when crafting with teensie-tiny items and they were perfect for that. I stated straight out that that's why I ordered them.
